“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jane’s voice had been stronger than usual. [...]

[...] Jane’s pace had been faster, her eyes open often, her voice average. [...]

[...] Jane talked in her own voice all evening, although the choice of words, the rhythm and phrasing and inflections seemed not to be hers. [...] Malba’s voice on the whole was not as strong as Jane’s, and more petulant. [...]

[...] An out-of-body experience into another level of reality becomes a visit to heaven, for example; or the heretofore-unrecognized voice of your own greater identity becomes the voice of God, or a spaceman or prophet.

[...] As usual the voice was high and thin, very clear but distant, and with many pauses at times. [...]

(The larger Seth voice maintained its high, thin, clear and distant quality throughout.)

(In the above paragraph the phrases “meaning the personality,” and “a much larger sense,” came clearly to my mind just before Jane voiced them. [...] For some reason it made an impression on me, whereas many times while Jane is dictating I have had a thought similar to the one Jane was about to voice. [...]

(Throughout this session Jane maintained the same deliberate, normal tone of voice; also, her rate of pacing was quite deliberate and much slower than the previous few sessions. [...]

[...] And since she exhibited no voice changes this need not be mentioned for the balance of the session. [...]

[...] Jane said that during this delivery she was “far out”, although she was aware that she was voicing some new and startling material… She reports that as a delivery nears its end, Seth begins to recede slowly, and at the same time she slowly regains conscious awareness of her surroundings. [...]

[...] You may hear sounds or voices. [...]

[...] She wore glasses, and read in a good strong voice.)

[...] Eyes often closed, voice quiet, many pauses.

[...] She began dictation on time in a rather normal voice, and at an easy rate. [...]

(Now, Jane’s voice abruptly became deeper and louder, as if for emphasis. [...]

[...] Jane resumed in a normal voice at 10:45.)

[...] And if you let it speak, then indeed it can speak within you in a voice as loud and joyous as any I dare use within the confines of this room. My voice is turned up to show you once again that vitality and your search is not sorrowful and is not for repentance, but is a joyful—and ambitious—and lively thing—and that the energy within you flies through your own being as the birds fly though the sky. And indeed, even as my voice reverberates against the ceiling, be thankful that it does not bounce and fall down and break into rocks upon the floor. [...]

[...] Jane’s Seth voice was rather quiet, however.)

[...] This certainly does involve a looking inward on his part, but it is not self-hypnosis in usual terms — merely a focusing upon an objective inner stimulus … Any such signs (as the powerful, deeper Seth voice) involve camouflage patterns, and do not actually represent direct experience. This is not my voice, for example. It is a representation or approximation of my voice for your edification. Furthermore, in your terms I do not have a voice. But it is a valid representation, and if I say so myself — that’s a pun — the voice is much like the one I would use….

(Nor did Seth agree with Jane’s assessment of her reactions to her Seth voice. He was very outspoken — yet his material came through with a much lighter touch than these printed words alone can indicate:) … Ruburt’s voice sounds rather dreary in this transitional phase, [yet] the one thing that pleases me immensely is the way he can translate at least a few of my humorous remarks and the inflections of my natural speech … As a man’s voice I fear he will sound rather unmelodious. I do not have the voice of an angel by any means, but neither do I sound like an asexual eunuch, which is all I’ve been able to make him sound like all night. [...]

(This appendix was inspired by two blocks of material Seth covered in the 711th session: Jane’s hearing his voice recently in the sleep state [see her own notes at the start of the 710th session], and the bridge personality she and Seth have created “between dimensions,” or between themselves.

(However, from Session 14 [for January 8, 1964], there’s other material that can be given here, as well as some that makes an interesting note at the end of this appendix.⁴ First, from my own note at 11:05: “Jane said that Seth was quite pleased with the new voice, and that she now knows what he’s thinking sometimes, even though he doesn’t relay it to or through her as part of a message.”

[...] Her voice was a bit stronger than usual.)

[...] Up until near the end of this session, Jane spoke in a voice slightly stronger than usual, and paced at a fair rate. [...]

[...] Jane’s voice was getting tired by now. [...]

[...] Her voice was low, and her pace much slower.)

[...] Her voice was distinctly heavier and louder than usual. [...]

[...] Her pace was fast, her voice still heavy and quite a bit deeper.

[...] Again her pace had been fast, her voice strong; the exception now was that her eyes, very dark, began to open at times.

[...] Her voice was not as loud this time but her delivery had been fast, as though she wanted to give the data without thinking about it. [...]

[...] Her voice was normal, her pacing regular.)

(Jane resumed delivery in the same rather quiet voice, again with quite a few pauses, and again without her glasses, at 9:37.)

[...] Oftentimes also those in attendance, the doctors or other healers are themselves tired, prone to the patient’s emotional fears, and automatically in self-defense respond by giving voice to the patient’s subconscious dread, picking it up telepathically but feeling it is directed at themselves, on a subconscious level of course.

[...] Her voice was deeper and stronger than usual, her pace good. [...]

[...] Jane said the voice felt deep to her, and swept her along. [...]

(As we finished going over the data, Jane then remembered that as she was giving it she was going to say something about the implication of motion being connected with the object; for reasons unknown she didn’t give voice to it. [...]

[...] By this analogy, you see, the soft voice is the holy voice and the loud voice is the wicked one, and a strong desire is the bad desire and a weak desire the good one. [...]

(Jane began speaking in trance this evening with her eyes open at once, her voice a little stronger than usual. [...]

[...] If you are intuitively aware of that miraculous neatness, if you allow yourself to be enveloped within that particular moment point, then the painting will form itself about you in somewhat the same manner that I am formed about Ruburt’s voice. [...]

[...] The next word, she now speculated, could have been either Elder or Older; Jane said now that she didn’t realize this until she voiced the idea.

[...] Although she had been coughing a lot, she delivered the following material without strain or interruption, in a quite voice. [...]

[...] Her voice did not bother her while dictating.

Now, although I admit I usually come to you with a voice like a musical thunder, with a voice that seems to weigh a thousand pounds, that seems to plop into the room, yet I can also come lightly as a leaf and be here when you do not know. [...]
