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

(A long time ago, Jane and I discussed this method of obtaining trance data, and decided not to use it for various reasons. [...]

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

(Jane began speaking in trance for Seth in a rather quiet voice; eyes open often, average pauses, etc.)

As a rule body temperature, after certain preliminary stages, is lowered during Ruburt’s trance state. [...]

(Seth’s last words, above, really mean that in his opinion Jane had been in trance long enough at this time. [...]

[...] Again Jane’s trance had been good. Her last pause had been quite long; when I mentioned this Jane said she thought that Seth had been trying to get the title of his book through; at the same time Jane had been In the process of coming out of trance. [...]

[...] Jane left trance easily, although it had been a good one. [...]

[...] After the trance was over Jane said she hadn’t been trying to think of titles for Seth’s own book, etc., nor had she been speculating about its contents.)

[...] As we sat at the kitchen table discussing her work, Jane felt that she could go into a trance state that was her own for a change, instead of being in “just” a Seth trance. [...]

The book should cover your version of our joint experience — your own philosophical explanation of it, the questions it arouses within your own mind, your observations of Ruburt as Jane and in our trance states. [...]

[...] “I’m so surprised I haven’t even put my glasses back on yet,” Jane exclaimed after she’d come out of trance. [...]

[...] Once again, as in the 133rd and 134th sessions, Jane was shocked out of her trance state. [...] As before, Jane then drifted back into the trance state, and resumed at 10:25.)

[...] Since interruptions have evidently become something of a hazard because of Jane’s deeper trance state, we have decided to move the sessions into our bedroom. [...]

[...] She’d felt that other personality behind Seth while she’d been in trance, but couldn’t get it.... [...]

[...] She came out of trance—it seemed. [...]

[...] “I quit,” Jane said, coming out of her trance. [...]

[...] It took Jane a few minutes to come out of a very deep trance. [...]

(The effects of the deep trance lingered. [...]

(Jane, in trance, tried to light a book match several times, but it was evidently too damp. [...]

(11:16 P.M. “Gee, I really feel good,” Jane said, when she finally came out of another deep trance, “but I think I can just about make it to bed.” [...]

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

[...] At trance levels we intersect, but we don’t meet. This intersection of Seth-Jane in trance also happens in dreams, when book sessions occur there. [...]

(The session began with Jane giving impressions on her own while in a light trance state. [...]

[...] Jane was easily out of trance, then back in. [...]

(Peggy told Jane that Gardner Road was in Horseheads, and that she would check the address there that Jane had given in trance. [...]

[...] It appeared to work, and while I rather easily put myself into some kind of trance state I at the same time gave my beneficial suggestions, etc., aiming principally at relaxation, to reduce the back tension I could feel building up.

[...] Did not think to implant the idea of a key word, though, to facilitate trance the next time.)

[...] Jane came out of trance rather quickly; her eyes remained dark, her manner subdued, and she said: “Yeah, I’m pretty Seth yet, but I’m also conscious of that music.” [...]

[...] Sitting down a bit later she said: “I’m trying to get back in,” meaning trance, “but that music downstairs bothers me.” [...]

[...] Jane just about had time to leave trance, say to me, “The session isn’t quite over yet,” sip some wine and offer a few ideas, when she resumed at 10:29.)

[...] Jane snapped right out of trance, quite alert; she remembered the last part of the data and said she “got scared” while giving it, re astral travel. [...]

(“Now [humorously]: no one asked me what it was like when I go into a trance. To go into a trance is simply to focus intensely in a highly specific area of reality. [...]

[...] It is most usually encountered either in a protected deep level of sleep or in a sudden spontaneous trance state. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been excellent, her delivery faster yet. [...]

9. When Jane comes out of trance, who tells first? [...]

[...] In a deep trance there is oblivion afterward, that is the subject though fully aware of what is going on while in deep trance, can remember nothing of it afterward. The awareness of plant life is also like the awareness of a subject in deep trance. [...] But like the subject in trance, our plant is aware. [...]

If you will remember what you know of the trance state, you are for example in a light trance, able to maintain awareness of yourself, your environment and your place in it. [...]

[...] Much of the ability again is suspended as for a subject in a trance, but consciousness is present. Your hybrid plants merely demonstrate this susceptibility to new suggestion which your plant, like your susceptible trance subject, will gladly follow. [...]

(At 9:56, though, as she sat waiting to go back into trance, Jane said, “Either I’m tired tonight, or the house is getting to me, but now it’s harder to get going….” [...]

[...] Jane was out of trance quickly enough, although it had been a good one. [...]

[...] Jane was rather unhappy when she came out of trance. [...] All of this is my interpretation,” she said, “based on what I remember I said in trance.” [...]
