(Yesterday’s “Jane” session seemed to run itself, to take place outside of time as we usually think of that quality. It lasted from 2:00 P.M. until after 12:30 A.M., with interruptions only for a casual supper of scrambled eggs, and an occasional short break. We estimate, then, that in a slightly altered state of consciousness Jane gave impressions for something like nine hours out of the actual ten and a half involved.
(I asked Jane to write a paragraph about the predominant mode of consciousness she’d experienced during the long session, and here’s what she produced:)
“It seems to be an easy natural state for me to take; I go into it ‘like a duck takes to water,’ I guess, but it’s difficult to explain. It’s a state in which hardly any resistance is encountered; answers are ‘just there.’ The only problem is in getting the information across to another person in terms of his or her vocabulary. I enjoy this particular ‘alteration of consciousness,’ although I don’t really recognize it as alien to my regular one; it’s just different. It’s an accelerated condition mixed with passivity, poised. If [our scientist’s] attitude had been critical, I probably wouldn’t have done as well, though.”
Earth experience, even in your terms, is far more varied than you ever consciously imagine. The intimate life of a person in one country, with its culture, is far different from that of an individual who comes from another kind of culture, with its own ideas of art, history, politics or religion or law. Because you focus upon similarities of necessity, then the physical world possesses its coherence.5

Appendix
[...] You are neurologically tuned in to one particular field of actuality that you recognize.2 In your terms and from your viewpoint only, messages from other existences live within you as ghost images within the cells, for the cells recognize more than you do on a conscious level. That is, for a brief time, Joseph (Rob) was consciously able to perceive a portion of another existence.
You could not be consciously aware of those other realities all of the time, and deal with the world that you know. [...]
[...] It also implies a freedom and organization of consciousness that is unusual in your system of reality, and was not chosen there.
[...] This presupposes a gestalt of awareness, however, in which each knows of the activities of the others, and participates; and you have a different version of mass consciousness. [...]
