“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] As we talked Jane said Seth was around, and she gave me a capsule summary of what he’d have said had we held a session. [...] It’s explored more fully in the session below, yet I also feel, from the description Jane gave me at the time, that Seth explores the whole thing from a different angle, too.

(This afternoon, as Seth suggested I do in the last session, I gave Jane beneficial suggestions for 15 minutes or so at naptime, until my voice became tired. [...]

[...] I also didn’t ask Seth about Jane’s delayed reaction to the suggestions, so am making a note of that for next Saturday’s session, at Jane’s request. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Sunday afternoon, November 5, I devoted to a long pendulum session, concerning my attitudes as related to Jane’s symptoms; it was most beneficial and rewarding, and we were anxious to have Seth’s comments on it this evening.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane was farther under this time, she said, kept there rather cleverly by Seth. [...]

(Here Seth clears up a point in Sunday’s pendulum session, in which the pendulum told me I was not jealous of Jane, but envious of her success. [...]

(Since giving the 848th session for Mass Events, on April 11, Seth has devoted three sessions to personal affairs that Jane and I have let go for a long time. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth launched into a few paragraphs of material for Jane and me, then ended the session at 11:05 P.M.

[...] “I know I’ve done it with every Seth book — wondering what he’ll talk about, how he’ll handle this or that…. [...]

[...] Jane didn’t want to feel that she had to get material tonight from Seth on such a project.

[...] I meant of course that it was her first from a reader of the German edition, of Seth Speaks. [...]

(Seth probably refers here to a letter Jane received today from a fan in Ohio, who enclosed a copy of a letter he wrote defending her to Jacques Vallee, who evidently had mentioned Jane in one of his books. [...]

[...] Seth. [...]

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

([John and Rob:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] The girl’s odd name and the Italian heritage may tie in with Seth’s reference to a stage name.

(After a discussion on table-tipping, by Jane, Seth resumed at 10:30.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth mentioned Powers of Mind here, I think, because I got mad just before the session when I found a full-page ad for it in yesterday’s [Sunday’s] New York Times Book Section. [...]

(“Thank you very much, Seth. [...]

(After the session Jane said she could feel a burst of extra energy from Seth. [...]

(During her mid-morning exercise-and-rest break today, I asked Jane if she had any idea why Seth had come through with the material he’d given us in last Monday evening’s session. [...] Then: “Well, I don’t tell you everything, but for some time now I’ve known Seth gives what I call ‘fill-in’ sessions, or ‘floating material’— stuff he could give any time. [...]

[...] [Checking later, I found that she’d given me the same answer about certain Seth material in Mass Events.]

[...] “Boy, Seth, you’d better bail me out,” she said vehemently. [...]

(In spite of her protestations, however, Jane felt Seth near as we talked —then when he came through he did discuss the subjects we were concerned about at the moment.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

If you remember, it took a while for The Seth Material, with Prentice, to do well. [...]

It will take longer then for the general public than it did, for example, with The Seth Material hardcover, for several reasons.

[...] The two Bantam sales, for example, Material and Seth Speaks, served purposes for you and Ruburt, and Prentice as well.

[...] This usually means that Seth’s larger personality is going to speak; nor did Jane feel Seth around. [...]

(She then began to speak for Seth’s larger personality, using the usual high, very clear and distant voice, with an average pace, and with the usual upbeat ending of sentences. [...]

[...] Note that no break was announced, as is often the case when Seth’s larger personality or entity speaks. [...]

[...] This afternoon as she worked answering mail she began to get “stuff pretty strong on it from Seth.” At the same time, she rather wished Seth would forget about it—probably because she knew what our reactions to it would be. [...]

(Seth’s material on Paul O’Neill’s cottage came about because of our conversation with Paul this noon as he checked Jane’s lower teeth here at the house. [...]

[...] I understood Seth’s material on the subject, and even agreed with it, I told Jane after the session. [...]

[...] Seth wrote the letter to Michael Kosok on July 28, 1975, in the 752nd session. [...] Jane told me yesterday, when she found it in an old notebook, that although she wrote it, it “certainly came from Seth.”

(In view of the massive contradiction here, I asked that Seth explain tonight what happened. [...]

(“Thank you, Seth.”)

(I should add that after reading her the poetry and her new dictation, I read her the last three sessions for Seth’s The Way Toward Health, given on June 24, 26, and 27. [...]

(Jane’s Seth voice was average, her delivery good. [...]

(“Of the book, or the Seth material?”

(I’d like to add that while there’s life there’s hope, and that as Seth has said many times, one who doesn’t want to die — as Jane said the other day she didn’t — won’t for any reason. [...]

(Seth II:) The experiment continues. [...]

(Seth:) Now I am not open to questions this evening. [...]

We are now having a Seth break. [...]

[...] Before the session I asked if Seth would discuss the Time Magazine cover story about Richard Bach in the November 13th issue, published November 6; and the various predictions made re sales, etc., in the recent deleted sessions.)

(“Thank you, Seth, and good night.” [...]

[...] She said she could feel herself begin to protest when Seth got to the part concerning her mother’s pretending of death, but Seth led her over the rough spots well.

(Good evening, Seth.)

[...] I believe Seth refers to my previous existence as a landowner and farmer in Denmark in the 1600s.)

[...] Here Seth refers to the book Jane is doing on the material itself.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth talked about mental enzymes in the very early sessions almost three years ago now. [...]

[...] Seth did not return after the break, so Jane and I were left to make our own connections between the object and the data. [...]

[...] Jane said this data is Seth’s attempt to get at the “day" references which are prominent on the front of the object. [...]

[...] As we waited for tonight’s session, Jane said she thought that Seth was organizing material about the four of us, our years together at 458 West Water St., and the flood of 1972—but that when we decided upon the questions listed above, Seth changed his tactics: he began to organize that material instead—“reorganizing what he’d already planned, in order to put it all together,” as Jane put it. [...]

(We had three questions for Seth:

[...] Seth mentioned this in the last deleted session. [...]

[...] Although Seth discussed reincarnation in the last regular session, he gave nothing on that life per se. [...]

[...] I called a Seth break. [...]

(During break Kyle asked why Seth came through so forcefully.)

Now you may continue with your Seth break. [...]

(Bobby remarked that we impose our projections on Seth.)

(For the record: On June 1,1965 I mailed to Dr. G. H. Instream a letter explaining something of Jane’s ability and the Seth material, plus a list of the inner senses, a list of the basic laws of the universe, and copies of sessions 138, 141, 142, 149, 153 and 154. [...]

(Jane and I wondered whether Seth would mention the letter from Dr. Instream during this session, but he did not; just as he did not discuss my recent clairvoyant dream. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(Seth’s mention of Ed Robbins, who now lives in New Paltz, NY, struck me as rather strange. [...] It will be recalled that it was in the dance hall at York Beach that Jane and I saw the projected fragments of our own personalities, that Seth dealt with so extensively in the 9th session, of December 18, 1963. [...]

[...] The painting Seth referred to is one that Bill lost last summer, while or after it was being shown in a sidewalk art exhibit here in Elmira. [...] I had mentioned the subject during last break, saying that perhaps Seth would discuss it.

[...] Jane said it was the first time in all of the sessions that Willy had done so; evidently, if he sensed Seth’s presence, he was not perturbed.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)
