“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jane’s trance had been deep. [...] She happened to mention that while in trance she often didn’t know whether her eyes were open or closed. [...]

[...] To make this discussion as simple as possible for now, at least, think of these two frameworks or states of consciousness as being connected by “undifferentiated areas” in which sleep, dreaming, and certain trance states have their activity. [...]

[...] But this was the kind of session she liked, and when she came out of trance she felt that more time should have passed. [...]

[...] Jane nodded that she was coming out of trance when I asked her. [...]

[...] Jane left trance easily, saying that she still had a trace of the pyramid effect even while Seth spoke—and at the end of the session. [...]

[...] I was in trance, of course, but, knowing him, I can well imagine how he must have stared at me as I strode back and forth speaking in that deep Seth voice and talking to Rob in such a manner. [...]

[...] When I came out of trance, Mark was staring at me intently.

[...] Already in trance, I guestured to the paper and Seth began to speak:

The emotional feeling of this brief statement was alive in the room when I came out of trance. [...]

[...] Sumari is a “language” she can speak or sing while in trance, and which she can translate into English if and when she wants to. [...]

[...] For by then I knew that she had no intention of producing an English version: Some childlike and naive, yet deeply stubborn portion of her psyche, some “perverse area,” as Seth, her trance personality, jokingly characterized it long ago, had simply taken over and decided not to do any more on that subject. [...]

Jane hadn’t dictated this material while in a trance or a dissociated state, as she does when producing her Seth material. [...]

Jane and I didn’t know whether the doctors we did business with even knew what a trance state was. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been good. [...]

[...] The earthly personalities were not aware of them, although in periods of trance and exaltation much was made known to them.

[...] Jane’s pace had been good again for the most part, but she came out of trance easily. [...]

[...] She’d had no sense of time passing while in trance.

[...] Jane said her trance hadn’t been good. [...]

(She has excellent hearing, so if her trance hadn’t been as deep as usual, for whatever reasons, then even ordinary sounds might disrupt her. [...]

[...] This is a dream or trance language. [...]

(Seth postponed ending the session to make some comments on Jane’s changing attitudes toward her physical environment, added a few remarks about the drawings I’m doing for Dialogues, then, in excellent humor, closed out the session at 12:01 A.M. Jane said her trance had been considerably deeper after break; certainly her delivery had been infused with more energy. [...]

[...] “When I come out of trance I don’t know what the thing’s all about….” [...]

(10:59.) Give us a moment … (Jane, in trance, lit a cigarette. [...]

(End at 11:10 P.M. Jane’s trance had been excellent. [...]

[...] “He’s got more on it, too,” Jane said now, but she didn’t go back into trance.

[...] As she started to read this chant to us, she suddenly threw her head back and wailed the words in an extremely loud voice; she then remained in trance for five minutes or so, and began to speak in a liquid, near whisper.)

(When Jane said she wanted to have a session, her voice was quite unsteady in trance, and I had to ask her to repeat a number of words.)

You can enter a trance state in any form, you see. [...]

Now when you leave one form for the other, it of course is in the trance state. [...]

[...] In each of these recent personal sessions she has ended up laying flat on her back on the couch while in trance—something she hadn’t done until recently.)

[...] Jane came out of trance without shock. [...]

[...] “Very good,” I said to Jane as she came out of trance. [...]

[...] Once out of trance, Jane said she now felt as good or better than she had before the session began. [...]

[...] Finally Jane opened her eyes and began to come out of trance, which had been deep. [...]

(Jane nodded that she was okay to my questions, but it took her a long time to fully leave trance. [...]

[...] If we were using the very deep trance state then indeed this would not be necessary, but for your own benefits I prefer as much cooperation on your parts as possible, and like to work with an assimilation of knowledge by the whole self.

[...] I believe that I too was in some kind of light trance state during this delivery, since I felt quite lethargic. [...]

[...] First I had my usual thrilling sensation at the suggestion of lightness, once I had attained the desired state of light trance. [...]

[...] I interrupted my reading to put myself into a light trance state, and then wrote down four more impressions. [...] I used the trance state rather casually, and later wished I had written down more impressions; but I was interested in getting back to my reading.

[...] I was not in a trance state. [...]

[...] The above impression and the following three were made in the light trance state. [...]

[...] Yet she has to get into a “certain mental climate” in order to reach Seth Two, Jane said, and all of her other trance phenomena — Sumari, and so forth — are also related to that state.¹

[...] Seth or Seth Two — obviously, when either of those qualities combine with her massive perceptions, then Jane knows a multifaceted trance state. [...]

[...] These activities meant keeping to her schedule of two regular sessions a week for the most part, although I do the work of transcribing her trance material. [...]

Deep is the trance

If Ruburt were going into very deep trance states such precautions would not be necessary. [...]

If at any time in the future there is even the necessity for a deeper trance on Ruburt’s part, I will let you know at the time and there will be nothing to worry about. [...]

(“I was thinking that you have control of the trance state then, with Ruburt’s permission.”)

(“Just how do you bring about a trance state?”

Suggestion operates, and any trance deeper than ordinary for them can be interpreted in these terms. [...]

[...] Jane was out of trance quickly. [...]
