“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In ESP class for April 16, a student asked Seth to comment on “the differences between the male and female [human beings] as we understand them.” Seth’s answer was a long one. It clearly illuminated his material in this session, as can be seen in the excerpt I’ve put together for this presentation. [This sometimes happens in class: Seth will elaborate upon book information, or discuss it from a different viewpoint; this in turn makes Jane and me want to see such material used in the book.])

(Without a break Jane went from her Seth trance into another very creative mode of consciousness. For perhaps five minutes she sang to the class in Sumari,² the trance language she initiated a few years ago. I’ve always found the quality of her Sumari expression to be of a high order. Each song is unique and thrilling, whether it’s muted or powerful, melodic or animated; often the particular delivery is made up of a combination of such attributes, as it was this evening. Class members discussed the song briefly. Then Jane came through as Sumari once more, but this time she spoke in conversational tones.³ Immediately she was finished, Seth returned:)

3. Jane also writes poetry in Sumari, and can translate it into English. When they’ve been recorded she can do the same with her Sumari songs and her verbal prose, as I call it. Later, as we discussed her use of Sumari in the material for this appendix, I asked her if she could describe the subjective feelings involved with her ability to go so quickly from Seth to Sumari, as well as to reverse the order.
