“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(12:04 A.M. Jane was soon out of her trance, but it had been a very good one nevertheless. [...] “These trances are so deep that I want to do something when I come out of them,” she said. [...]

(I’d like to add here that the flood of material issuing from Jane lately, both in and out of trance, has been extraordinary — and I note that as one who is used to her strong bursts of creative activity. [...] She’s also been very active in her ESP class this month, with extensive singing in Sumari — which is her own musical trance language¹ — and with long sessions via Seth in each class; the transcripts of some of the latter have run to five or six single-spaced typewritten pages.

A Blundering Trance
Two Fugitives from the Dream World

[...] Rob always enjoyed Seth’s sense of humor, and he was still smiling at the last remark when I came out of trance. [...]

[...] The event was a deep trance experience into which I blundered. [...]

I could tell that I was heading into a very deep trance state. [...]

(Jane began speaking in trance while sitting on the divan, using a quiet voice, a direct manner, with her eyes open often.)

[...] The intellect cannot, because of its very nature participate fully in the actual trance experience. [...]

[...] (In trance.)

[...] Jane had again been in a deep trance but emerged in short order. [...]

[...] The deeper trance state is to offset Ruburt’s reaction to heat and to some natural adverse circumstances that do occur atmospherically at this time of the year.

[...] Jane again had a deep trance but returned from it easily. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been relatively light. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been deeper this time. [...]

[...] Now the information in this book is being directed to some extent through the inner senses of the woman who is in trance as I write it. [...]

(John reported that his wife was very ill, had been in the hospital recently for several weeks, etc., and had not entered into a very deep trance state during sessions with a hypnotherapist; Seth had recommended Peg see such a professional. [...]

[...] She began speaking in trance in a quiet voice, using many pauses, her eyes opening often as usual.)

[...] Jane was again very well dissociated, and remembered little of what she had said in trance.

In the next session the following night, Seth launched into the nature of my last trance experience and used it as a stepping stone for his first real discussion of the nature of human personality. [...] From here on, he would continue to comment on my trance experiments and teach me to regulate them.

(With a laugh, Rob told me that as Seth, I’d been pacing up and down the room, giving “myself” the dickens about the trance experiment, then switching to the humorous comparison of his voice and mine. [...] Back in those days, I wasn’t about to have a trance personality order me about, even for my own good. [...]

(Still in trance, I turned off the brightest of our two lights, then opened the blinds. [...]

[...] On the other hand, I only knew what had been said when the trance (or the fun) was over. [...]

[...] Jane entered trance easily and spoke vigorously, rapidly and with much humor. [...]

(Jane’s trance was a good one, she said. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had again been good, her pace a bit slower but still usually faster than I am used to as far as note-taking goes.

[...] Her trance had been good. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance was a good one. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been very deep. [...]

[...] Jane was again a long time coming out of trance; once more I helped her by talking to her, and by touch. [...]

Now, I am prepared to go on, Joseph, but suggest that if necessary you help Ruburt out of the trance state. [...]

[...] You depend upon her to do all this questioning for you for it releases your mind and you can go into your trance in an easier manner. [...] This releases you to go into your trance. [...]

(Gert asked Seth to wait so she could get the transition of Jane coming out of trance.)

[...] Now at this time, it seems too much to bear both at the same, and so our friend here is being the critical one for you and then you can free yourself for this trance work knowing that any questions of a critical nature that you might have will be asked by her and, therefore, you will feel free to go ahead. [...]

[...] That rather formal division in her trance activities suits us well; we enjoy doing most of our work by ourselves, no matter what kind it may be.

(When that meeting took place, Jane was in trance; off came her glasses; once again she’d met Seth on the psychological bridge the two of them had established when these sessions began, over a decade ago. [...]

[...] Her eyes in trance were much darker, and seemingly without highlights.)

[...] I talked to him for a few minutes while Jane rested after coming out of trance, and suggested that he call her later in the week. [...]

I could, I could put you (Florence) into a trance such as few have been in before. [...]

(As Jane threw her glasses on the floor, going into her third trance of the evening, Theodore said, “I’m going to catch that some day.”)

[...] Now, to end the suspense I will indeed shortly say good evening to you (after each previous trance we wondered if Seth would be back, since he hadn’t said good night, and he always says good night). [...]

[...] It was obvious that Jane was in a very deep trance. [...]

[...] Because of the noise distractions in the house I kept Ruburt in trance longer — it is easier that way.

[...] Jane’s hour-long trance had indeed developed into a profound one. [...]

[...] Jane came out of trance easily in a few moments. [...]

[...] Jane sat quietly for a moment, then jumped and came out of trance. [...]

[...] Jane left trance easily. [...]

[...] 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.

Now I have been speaking of projection from a trance state. [...] Upon awakening you may then be frightened to find the physical body in what amounts to a trance state, while the mind is wide awake. [...]

[...] I did not notice, being busy writing, but Don Wilbur said the first knock really jolted Jane out of her trance, or at least the deeper stages of it, even though she continued speaking. [...]

[...] We will say that you are attempting a projection from a light trance state. [...]

[...] These quotations are from sessions she gave at the house through Seth, her trance personality, for visiting groups of former students.)

[...] When Ruburt’s condition is such that a particularly good trance can be achieved, and when the emotional climate surrounding you is advantageous, then we can do much.

[...] I have been strict concerning our schedule, since conditioning must be set up, and while we always allowed for some spontaneity, it was necessary that Ruburt develop greater efficiency in his handling of the trance state.

[...] Jane blinked a few times, then came out of her trance. [...]

[...] She blinked, then was out of her trance. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] The physical body is in a deep trance state. The trance may also be masked by sleep, if the projection happens from a dream threshold.

I have been speaking of projection from the trance state. [...]

[...] When she took her glasses off and placed them upon the coffee table before her, she was in trance. [...]
