“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The night of the session it literally swept me along toward the end and I want to make these comments while the affair is fresh in my mind. There seems no doubt that when the voice attains a certain…pitch or intensity—something clicks and “I” am simply out of it. There is a sense of great power sweeping me away and off. While this is happening I am in no condition to critically analyze my own state of consciousness. During this session, part of it at least, I seemed to be viewing a classroom, presumably Pat’s; at first I looked down upon the room from above, then moved to a vertical position, searching for a particular seat. Here Seth mentioned a boy who sat there. I have no doubt that if Rob had questioned me I would have been able to describe the room. No one asked Seth to do so and, of course, all this time he was speaking through me in this voice of his. I think, though now it is difficult to recall, that I saw one rather long continuous blackboard, perhaps nearly across one whole wall. I was aware though Seth didn’t say so, that the last seats were usually empty.

(While the voice boomed out toward the end, I was in that classroom, certainly not in our living room. The emotional projection at the very least was very strong—speaking out to those students—but some kind of out-of-body projection also occurred. This simply was: I could not critically comment on it at the time. I had some difficulty coming out of the trance state and did not realize the fact of the projection critically until I lay in bed.

(Questions, of course, instantly come to mind. Who was in the classroom, Seth or me? One possibility here is that I do the projecting while Seth controls the physical body and uses the vocal cords to speak and to give verbal expression. I would be the perceptive mechanism in the other location while he would translate the perceptions and communicate them in physical terms. [In a usual out-of-body state it would be highly difficult for me, alone, to communicate my perceptions until I returned.]
