“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I think that more suggestions would have induced an even deeper state with her, and that probably amnesia could have been induced in this deeper state had I so desired. After the session Jane said she felt very relaxed, although I believe she has induced as good a state in some of her self-hypnosis sessions. I did not give her a key word, for instance, to speed up future inductions, but plan to do so when I have more experience.

(We chose our bedroom because it would be more private and comfortable than the living room. We each had a glass of wine before starting. Jane lay on her back with her hands crossed. I began to induce a general relaxation, following techniques I had read, and which Jane had used with me several years ago. I began with the feet and worked up to the head— generally at first; then each time I started again at the feet my suggestions for ease and relaxation became more detailed.

(All in all, we believe things went quite well for a first attempt, and we are pleased with the results. I spent perhaps half an hour by the clock inducing the first general relaxed state, including the suggestion that Jane’s eyelids were quite heavy and relaxed. I did not definitely tell her that she could not open them, but believe that had I suggested this she could not have done so— this in the light of later events.

[...] His somewhat induced invitation represented a new use of freedom. [...]

[...] A period of panic induces immediate accelerated concentration. [...]

[...] You may induce a medium trance in whatever way you choose. [...] When you have induced the trance state, then begin to examine your own subjective feelings until you find recognition of the inner self.

You also have ideas of guilt about your painting that are culturally induced. [...]

[...] Unless the individual learns, however, to induce that psychological climate personally, the healing may not last. [...]

True creativity is far more apt to flourish, however, to the extent that you are not trapped by the “mass mind”(in quotes), and not tempted by the inducements. [...]

[...] An inducement, I believe, for advancement or change is in the offing, or has recently been given. [...]

[...] I induced the desired state from the head downward this time, and it seemed to work much quicker.

[...] Lying down in a very relaxed manner without inducing the desired state, I then again experienced the feeling of elevation in my forearms and hands. [...]

[...] No important correlations have been made between the subjective experiences of the old, particularly in “senile” conditions, with those of other ages involved in expansion of consciousness, whether natural or drug induced.

While we may “come awake” spontaneously within a dream, certain procedures do help, and these can induce projections from the dream state. [...]
