“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again throughout the session Jane delivered the material while sitting down, and with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] The best arrangement when possible physically would be to have each individual sit with his feet together; and if possible a circle being made also with the feet, or at least an arrangement where the feet touched.

Sitting in various separated portions of the room usually is a disadvantage. [...]

(Again sitting down and with her eyes closed, Jane resumed at 10:33.)

[...] Jane told him she wants her legs to straighten enough so that she can start sitting up. [...]

(I told Jane about the three deleted sessions for January 1980 that I’d read this morning while doing a note for Dreams—how good they were, on the body consciousness and related subjects like healing, and what a shame it is that the material sits there unread and unpublished.

[...] Then Jane said something very important—that when the guardrail on the bed in down on the left side, and the TV is pushed back out of the way, she gets the impulse to sit up in bed and swing her legs down over the side. [...]

Ruburt now feels the impulse to sit up on the side of his bed—an excellent development, for action follows impulse. [...]

[...] The group of four sit on the edge of a concrete patio at the back of Bill’s house. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking while sitting down as usual, with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] Jane now resumed while sitting down, and with her eyes closed, at 10:02.)

(Jane resumed while sitting down and with her eyes closed, and in a quiet voice, at 10:21.)

[...] Sit on porch in back all afternoon, and read Seven; PM Frank comes; confirms the changes since he’s seen me last—from the chiropractor’s standpoint.

There I see, to my surprise and joy, Jane and Rob Butts sitting talking to some other people. [...] The other people go away, and I go sit down next to Jane, and, to my surprise, they do not acknowledge or recognize me at all.

In what other worlds, for example, do you sit writing these notes? [...]

Suddenly I am yanked away from this scene, and Carl [Sue’s husband] and I are sitting in a large room with Jane as Seth. [...]

[...] We are struggling past a large factory, when all at once I am sitting with Jane as Seth again, watching the snow dream as if it were a movie. [...]

[...] The first was that she was momentarily disoriented when she came out of trance because the chair she was sitting in was not where she thought it was while speaking for Seth.

[...] “I thought that me, the whole bit where I’m sitting, and me, it seemed to me that I was over there,” she said, pointing to her right side. [...]

11:30–11:45: Do dishes, make coffee, get coffee cake, feed cat & go to john before sitting down. [...]

[...] Once again she spoke while sitting down, and again her eyes were closed. [...]

This procedure, in which Ruburt sits quietly, is indeed less flamboyant than our previous methods, but it has many advantages, and it is beneficial that we experiment along various lines.

[...] Her delivery had been brisk but it slowed up somewhat when she resumed, again sitting down and with her eyes closed, at 9:35.)

[...] I’d even caught myself lapsing; I was weary,” Jane said, laughing, that she’d be willing to sit there until 3 o’clock in the morning to get what she wanted in a session, but: “You’re not sitting on your ass until three o’clock in the morning,” I said. [...]

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. [...]

(Jane resumed, again with her eyes closed, and sitting down, in a quiet voice, and at a brisk pace, at 9:31.)

(Jane now took a long pause, sitting quietly without moving for perhaps a minute. [...]

(Jane had delivered the above material while sitting down and with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] Once again she began dictating while sitting in the rocking chair opposite my table. [...]

(Sitting with her eyes closed, Jane again began speaking in her quiet voice at 9:36.)

[...] She resumed in a louder voice, again while sitting down and with her eyes closed, at 10:14.)

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a low clear voice and with quite a few pauses. [...]

[...] She said she no longer fears running past regular break time every half-hour, as she once did, especially when she began to deliver the material sitting down.

(Jane said she found herself then considering just sitting quietly in her chair, after the pulsation had manifested itself. [...]

Some improvements, again, have begun, barely noticed: the additional mobility in the morning, when a short while ago Ruburt would sit for an hour or more after breakfast while you brought him his second cup of coffee. [...]

[...] More than this however, in this one case Ruburt realizes that the body remembers how to sit down properly, once the suggestion that it cannot is broken down.

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] I had an impression of Peg sitting by the pool, with Bill in it.

[...] Resume while sitting down at 9:29.)

[...] He sits at a straight-backed chair. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. [...]

(As in the 183rd session, Jane began to speak after break while sitting upright and cross-legged on the bed. [...]

(Still sitting upright on the bed, Jane resumed with her eyes closed, in a quiet voice and with pauses, at 9:47.)

[...] You may indeed sit there and observe me. But I also sit here and observe you, whether or not Ruburt’s eyes are opened or closed.

The other, the sitting forward stretch. [...]

Three children in a kitchen, sitting in a row, in her past, and she is one of them. [...]

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed for the most part. [...]

[...] who sits at a desk or table that has a lamp on it. [...]

I believe that the light is concentrated directly in front of him upon the desk or tabletop, and that he sits more or less like this, with the light falling in front of him.

(Here Jane, her eyes still closed, leaned forward in her rocker and took a position as though she were sitting at a desk with her elbows on it, her hands raised toward her head.)

[...] My energy has been silent but potent in this room, like that bottle of wine that sits upon the table. [...]

[...] I enjoy sitting here quietly, picking up your thoughts. [...]

[...] Would you prefer that I be as silent and solitary and quiet as a tiny pin that sits upon the blue rug? [...]

[...] And let them form a foundation upon which you can climb to find your own reality and your own existence that is in itself independent, both of my words and even of the room in which now your bodies sit, for that independent inner self wanders through all existences that you have known, in your terms, has a wisdom and knowledge that you can use. [...]

Now some of you will be able to come further with me, and those of you who can, I ask you, still with your eyes closed then, to awaken to the reality of another classroom in which you are all involved and in which our two new guests also sit. [...]

[...] I am touched by those events and so are you; so even while I sit in trance, dictating books as Seth, I can’t after all stray too far from our joint reality. The chair I sit in as I speak for Seth is a product of modern manufacture. [...]

Robert F. Butts, my husband, sits on the couch across from me, taking verbatim notes of what I say as Seth, transcribing these “other-worldly” communications with a modern pen on good white bond paper. [...]

No sooner did I sit down than such a rich vein of material opened that I could hardly write fast enough to get it all down; and it began where my earlier ideas had ended off. [...]
