“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:48. After we’d rested for a few minutes, Jane began to speak in her regular voice. I’ve purposely refrained from mentioning earlier the rather extensive material that follows; perhaps the reader, coming upon it unexpectedly, will feel something of my own surprise as Jane started to develop it out of both the slow and rapid effects she’d already demonstrated:)

(11:17.) “I — I know there’s more there … I want to find out more. I don’t get their [the ‘consciousnesses’ behind tonight’s material] purpose. (Jane looked tired and disheveled now, and I suggested she end the session. She sat with her eyes closed. She had trouble enunciating the next sentence, and had to repeat it:) Dead holes turn into live holes … where the motion and impetus, in your terms, would be toward the future … I can’t get any more…. (Once again I urged her to quit.) I’m almost finished. In this case, the core appears as matter-to-be. I guess I’ll stop. I can’t follow it.

I remind the reader of a remark Seth made in the 702nd session for Volume 1, when Jane was delivering material for him on electron spin and related concepts: “Ruburt’s vocabulary is not an official scientific one. Nor, for our purposes should it be — for that vocabulary is limiting.” Jane has only the sketchiest of scientific backgrounds, but a very strong intuitive grasp of the qualities involved. By choice, even in trance she attempts to relay specialized information in ordinary verbal terms, without the use of formulas, equations, or highly technical language. The material in this session is a good example of her approach. We’ve never tried to get her — or Seth — to deliver mathematical or chemical formulas during a session; it’s not her thing. However, she thinks that if she were to motivate herself she could accomplish something through the formalized language of mathematics, say, but that in the beginning at least she’d acquire the information visually; then she would write it down, even while the session was in progress….
