“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] In this session Seth talked of having us try various experiments involving the use of the inner senses; tonight’s session was of course in the nature of an experiment. [...]

[...] She did not feel Seth around. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] She did not think Seth would try “pushing through” any startling information tonight.

[...] He could not attend tonight’s session but left with us a question concerning transubstantiation; John wanted Seth’s comments on the literal results, if any, of this Catholic ceremony.

[...] This afternoon she told me she thought Seth might talk about the self-conscious inner ego. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(It will be recalled that in the 83rd session, August 31, 1964, [in Volume 2], Seth commented on the work of Freud and Jung, and mentioned some of the distortions Jung’s work in particular contains.)

[...] She sounded like things I’d said—and Seth too—many, many times; I’d thought she understood this. [...]

[...] As Seth says, we each do create our own reality.

(“Good evening, Seth.)

(Again I was surprised, and groped for words as Seth sat quietly waiting. [...]

(11:49 P.M. By now it should be obvious that this session is an excellent example of the way Seth often winds our questions and concerns into book dictation, couching his answers so that they also fit the larger framework he has in mind. But even if our private lives do sometimes influence the way Seth delivers his material, we’ve discovered that he still pretty much covers the subject matter he wants to.)

(Later, Jane suggested that I ask Seth to comment upon the ideas in a session. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“So do I, Seth. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(I didn’t add that I was well aware of the time sequence here—that according to Seth I had a rather long life in Denmark in the 1600 ‘s —and that Rembrandt lived in Holland from 1606 to 1669.)

[...] Seth/Jane had a little trouble with the word frescos, as though it was unfamiliar to her. [...]

[...] According to Seth I lived in Denmark in the 1600’s. I was a painter as a younger man, then gave it up for the more respectable role of a farmer, at which I was quite successful. [...]

(July 14, 1971: When sessions resume, check with Seth about what Jane might have blocked in this session—as well as what she revealed. [...]

[...] In the 350th Session for July 6, 1967, is a sentence which has stayed with me— when Seth said: “Ruburt has an unfortunate sense of unworthiness, without which the situation [Jane’s symptoms] could not have developed.” [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane asked Seth for help this afternoon before taking a nap.)

(They also fit in beautifully with my own recent feelings and questions about the behavior of our species, and Seth’s answering material. In fact, Seth had much more to present on the subject this evening, so even though he didn’t say so Jane and I take it for granted that this session belongs in Psyche.)

[...] The sponsor had sent her one for 1976, also, in which a passage from Seth was given. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”

(Jane, as Seth, delivered all of this material most emphatically.)

(Seth spoke slowly, fairly deeply and fairly loudly and the voice was accompanied by the usual Seth mannerisms.)

[...] At 9:51 she said, “In fact, I haven’t the slightest idea in my head about Seth or anything else.” [...]

[...] She thought Seth was “trying to couch the stuff in terms that would make sense to someone who didn’t know much about such things, while keeping it of interest to a physicist, say — which wasn’t easy to do. [...]

[...] Seth now delivered two pages of material for Jane and me, and the session ended at 12:37 a.m.

[...]

(In the last deleted session Seth had promised us some data on early man, but I told Jane to forget that for now. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(The dream Seth refers to happened on Wednesday morning, November 9, 1977, and Jane did an excellent job of interpreting it. [...]

[...] Seth’s news about the reasons for the slackening mail fit in with some of our own speculations. [...]

(As we sat for the session, Jane reminded me that she thought Seth would do an introduction tonight for her own book on Paul Cézanne. [...]

[...] “But I’ve done introductions for Seth’s books, so why shouldn’t he do one for mine?” And yes, the Cézanne material mentioned earlier — see Jane’s introduction for Psyche — had developed into a full-fledged book of its own.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Now Seth moved from his own book to this new subject — Jane’s The World View of Paul Cézanne — with ease and obvious zest. [...]

[...] We noticed the tape had been transferred to a new reel, so took it for granted that Dr. Instream had played the tape, as stated by Seth in the 173rd session of July 28th. [...]

(In the 166th session, which John Bradley witnessed, Seth stated that the stock of John’s company, G. D. Searle, would go very low before making a recovery presumably. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(Numerous questions were raised by the event, of course, but Seth doesn’t go into them this evening. [...] It can hardly be a coincidence that this “opportunity” materialized shortly after we began our new program suggested by Seth, and what we’ve learned about our attitudes toward publicity, scorn and criticism, and go forth. [...]

[...] Seth asked because the storm that had been threatening for several hours was finally in the process of breaking. [...]

[...] Very refreshing, although I had to ask Seth to repeat a word or phrase every so often because of the noise. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.” Seth’s entity name for Jane is Ruburt—he, him, his.)

[...] Goodnight, Seth.”

[...] Seth resumed book dictation on Chapter Six at 9:59.)

[...] Before the session Jane had again been aware of several channels of information available from Seth.

(11:15 p.m. I chose a break in order to see if Jane still wanted me to ask Seth about the ideas she’d talked about before the session. [...]

(Tonight, though, Seth began work on Psyche right where he left off well over a month ago.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] After break Seth returned with some excellent material for Jane and me. [...]

[...] I told Jane I’d like some remarks from Seth about what I’d just said. [...]

(“Afternoon, Seth.”)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] Seth at least verified some of my ideas. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] But he’s so fucking smart—Seth—”

(All in all, I thought Jane “recovered” quite easily from Seth’s data, which I thought was excellent.

[...] Now Seth diverged to give perhaps a page of data on the family of consciousness that Sue Watkins came up with in 1971 or ‘72. [...]

[...] As I wrote these notes at 9:20, however, she did begin to feel Seth’s presence. [...]

(I must say that I hadn’t expected Seth to discuss the event this evening, nor had I asked that he do so. [...]

(I smiled at Seth as “he” leaned toward me. [...]

[...] I told her that it looked as though Seth used my newspaper incident to actually summarize in capsule form much of the material he’s been giving us in this latest group of private sessions. [...]
