“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Hypnotism will be necessary, however, only for a time, and only to induce the light trance state. In the light trance state, the inner self is free from the camouflage nature of your plane, and the truly humorous aspect is this: Only by freeing yourself from your own camouflage universe can you see it clearly, understand it for what it is, and actually learn to use it for mankind’s best advantage.

When tests are conducted, and this will take a while, but when tests are conducted in laboratories, using the trance, the controlled and disciplined trance, as a tool and an instrument, then very quickly you will be able to delve beneath personal subconscious material to other layers.

[...] I had suggested in the beginning that I snap out of the trance state by noon, and had set the alarm. It did not ring, however, and I became aware that the time set for the trance was over.

When this material begins to tally, when under trance many of the same answers are received, when it is discovered that the knowledge of the basic universe is contained within the living individual, and when there is no doubt that the solutions given are the same, then and only then will you begin to solve the problems that are before you.

(10:48 P.M. Jane’s trance had been quite variable this time, and I had continued to cough. She said that Seth finally ended the session because her trance actually fluctuated as I coughed. [...]

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

[...] She said she’d been aware of this, but that even so her trance had been better this time. [...]

SLEEPWALKERS.
THE WORLD IN EARLY TRANCE.
THE AWAKENING OF THE SPECIES

[...] The World in Early Trance. [...]

[...] Jane’s eyes opened almost at once, and she easily came out of trance. [...]

[...] She was aware of traffic noises as she left trance, but felt good; she missed the “good rich” Seth voice and feeling however.

[...] Jane again came out of trance easily. [...]

[...] I thought she was still in trance. [...]

By adulthood the trance, the intense focus, is most strongly upon him. It is after this period that the trance little by little weakens its hold. [...]

[...] It, the ego, is that small portion of the whole self which the whole self has allowed to be completely, or almost completely, bewitched by the self-hypnotic trance. It is that portion which believes implicitly in the given specifications of the hypnotist, and as such it will be last to leave the trance.

In much the same manner, existence within the physical universe involves the most intense self-hypnotic trance, where attention becomes riveted and focused along certain lines while other realities are of necessity closed out of one’s perception and comprehension for a certain while.

[...] The focus of energy that organizes the physical body weakens, strays; the trance state, strongest at what you call early adulthood, begins to lose its hold even as in childhood it has not yet attained its full depth.

[...] The spontaneity often, though not always, helps to focus his abilities, and provides us with an excellent trance state. [...]

(At 9:50 Jane paused, but obviously was still in a trance.

[...] Jane’s trance had been good but she left it rather easily. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance was obviously deep and I began to urge her out of it verbally. [...]

(Jane began speaking for Seth in trance, in a fairly strong voice, rather rapidly, and with her eyes opening often.)

(At 9:38 Jane paused briefly, still in trance, her eyes closed.)

[...] She came out of trance slowly, saying she had no time concept and little memory of what she had said.

[...] Jane was again well dissociated, and came out of trance slowly. [...]

[...] Again Jane came out of trance easily. She said that at the end of the session, just before she left trance, she got a message that she would hear from the publisher Prentice-Hall, within three days concerning the prospectus they have for the book on the Seth material.

[...] Jane snapped out of trance easily. [...]

[...] (Still in trance, Jane got up and walked into the kitchen, looking for a cigarette. [...]

[...] Jane easily emerged from a deep trance, she said. [...]

[...] I had to call her many times to help her out of her trance. [...]

(It took a long time to coax and command her out of her trance. [...]

(Her trance had been so deep we called this the end of the session. [...]

[...] Jane had been in trance for an hour and forty-one minutes, but even so she was out of it rapidly. “The trances have changed since he started this book, though,” she said. [...]

[...] Her diction in trance is usually excellent, though; it’s not often that I have to ask her to repeat a word or phrase.)

[...] Now in trance, Jane was going through these complicated sentences without trouble, even indicating punctuation.)

(I felt all right, but Jane, still in trance, held up her empty cigarette pack. [...]

[...] Some time ago, after Seven, he mentioned my book, my new book, to Ruburt, and Ruburt said he did not want to contract trance material ahead of time, so Tam let it rest.

[...] Still in trance, Seth/Jane said while pouring some wine: “I am giving you Tam’s material together—it will be easier to type.” [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been deep, her delivery rapid and intent. [...]

[...] Jane’s trances had been deep all evening. [...]

A trance is a very private phenomenon. [...] However private a trance may be, it must take place in a physical world of shared events. 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. [...]

Rob’s notes provide the necessary exterior orientation for this present volume, as they do for the previous Seth books, and hint at the framework of normal life in which Seth so gallantly “appears” twice weekly, tossing off my glasses and thereby signaling the beginning of my trance. [...]

[...] For if Seth is only a psychological model filled out by my unconscious trance material, then he certainly puts our usual concepts of personality to shame, and by implication shows that we ourselves have a long way to go if we are to use our full potential.

[...] Shortly before she went into trance at 9:15, she whispered to me “The other one,” meaning that Seth’s entity would speak. [...]

[...] I then called her name and touched her, and she finally began to come out of trance.

[...] She moved several times, coughed, started as though making a quick return from trance. [...]

[...] She began in trance while seated in our rocking chair, using a quiet voice and pauses, eyes open at times.)

[...] I felt as though a trance state might be trying to intrude, rather than being aware of any general weariness. [...]

(11:02.Still in trance, Jane sat quite still in her rocker until 11:07. [...]

[...] I now did as Seth suggested, feeling a trance on my part was probably involved. [...]

(Jane put herself in a light trance state while sitting at the table. [...] Roman type is used to show Jane’s words in trance.)

[...] Jane’s voice trailed off and she came slowly out of trance. [...]

[...] She sat quietly for several moments beginning at 3:30, then resumed in trance.)

(Even in trance Jane felt the effects of these blows, for as she continued to talk she rubbed her left hand. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been deep. [...] Still somewhat in trance, Jane let the cat in, etc. [...]

[...] Jane remained quietly in trance to some extent, even though she moved about. [...]

(In trance, Jane pointed to the new painting.) The picture is of a man, or rather of a woman who lived in Constantinople in the 14th century. [...]

[...] Jane was in as deep a trance as I have seen her. [...]

(The pace for the session was fast, usually emphatic, and Jane’s trances were deep. [...]

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

[...] Her eyes were still very dark and luminous—a sure sign of her trance state. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance was very deep. [...]

[...] (Don’t know if I felt the subjective feeling before or after their comments, but no suggestions as to hand was given by me, and I asked no questions, sitting with eyes closed, concentrating, rather in good trance, but aware of their comments. [...]

Watching the hand in transition, changes apparent as they happened, joints and knuckles becoming very thick and large, flesh seeming to disappear so that hand became thinner otherwise,hand taking on the look of a very old woman’s, exceedingly bony, with the large, they said, exceptionally large, joints obvious; Rose frightened; Sally said the hand looked so stiff that it was here she asked me if I could bend the fingers, it was here I couldn’t answer her but did try to bend the hand; and at this point decided to give myself suggestions to come out of trance and for hand to return to normal. [...]

[...] Whether this would have broken trance or not I don’t know, but as a result I saw nothing at this time; but did have the definite extension feeling on hand. [...]

[...] During the session with Dr. Instream, the 169th, held in his office at Oswego, Jane demonstrated an ability to go into and out of the trance state very easily. [...] Before she was seated she had reentered the trance state, and was speaking. [...]

[...] I was then surprised to note that Jane had come out of her trance with no difficulty, and that her eyes were open. [...]

[...] She thinks the ability to switch in and out of the trance state so easily made itself known during the session with Dr. Instream at Oswego; Jane feels however that she must have been preparing herself for this step forward without being aware of it.

[...] Jane’s trance had been deeper this time, and she was slower coming out of it. [...] She was very relaxed at break, and told us that Seth was keeping her half under so as to make her resumption as Seth easier; she could reach trance depth quicker.

[...] Jane began speaking for Seth, in trance, in a voice good but not exceptional. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been good but she came out rather easily. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance again was good, and it took her a few minutes to come out of it. [...]
