“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last Wednesday night’s scheduled session wasn’t held, giving Jane some rest the day after class. Then yesterday, Sunday, she gave a very long session on her own for a visiting scientist. When I write “on her own,” I not only mean that Seth didn’t come through, but that Jane wasn’t aware of his presence even though she didn’t give voice to it.

“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.”
