“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Seth, from the 154th session for May 12, 1965: “Basically, the physical body has the potential for perceiving stimuli on a generalized basis. By this I mean that although the eyes are for seeing, the ears for hearing, and so forth, the potentials of the physical body include the capacity to hear, for example, through any given portion of the bodily expanse … Sound, then, can be felt as well as heard, although in such cases you may say that the sound is heard in the depths of the tissues; this, however, being an analogy … Ruburt, in feeling sound, merely experienced it from a different perspective.

(Following those introductory sessions, Seth Two has spoken at widely spaced intervals. At this writing I think it’s been well over a year since I’ve heard that very complicated personality. Occasionally Jane will speak for Seth Two in class. I do think that she could contact Seth Two at my request. Yet she has to get into a “certain mental climate” in order to reach Seth Two, Jane said, and all of her other trance phenomena — Sumari, and so forth — are also related to that state.¹

(10:22. In a voice quite a bit deeper and stronger than usual, but not as overpowering as I’ve heard it be on occasion, Jane began to express a series of very “long,” drawn-out syllables. I’d expected anything from a whisper to a scream. What follows at first are my phonetic interpretations of the sounds she uttered. Her eyes were closed, her head still down. [When Jane reads these typed notes she may not agree with some of my approximations.] Now in a heavy voice, almost grating:)

7. From Jane’s notebook: “I was writing poetry one day early in August 1971, when suddenly I mentally heard the oddest sounds — incredibly fast, too quick to follow. Instantly I ‘knew’ that these faster sounds were objects coming into material focus. They slowed down to become physical. I sensed this neurologically, though how that was possible, I don’t know….”

[...] In her notes at the beginning of the 710th session, Jane described how she’d heard Seth’s very powerful voice in her sleep state during the night of October 5. I can write now that she has yet to have any subsequent, similar kind of encounter with Seth or his voice.)

[...] Very few of them had witnessed one of Jane’s infrequent “long sound” sessions, as we call them, although a fair number had heard us describe the phenomenon at one time or another. [...]
