“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The Spazianis know about the Seth material, of course. This evening Jimmy asked if Seth could help him locate the missing cover for the thermostat, which is located in the downstairs hall of the apartment house. [...] We promised to ask Seth’s help.

[...] They asked for Seth’s interpretation of this quite vivid happening. Since it is rather involved, I will insert an account of it in the session where Seth takes note of it. [...]

(In line with the above material, it might be noted that Seth had cautioned Jane to go easy with her “ecstasy” experiments in the 54th session, May 18, 1964. [...] Seth stated that he did not realize Jane would achieve this focusing of inner energy so early in her studies with psychological time, and furthermore said that it could have unpleasant effects if it was unwittingly directed toward someone else. [...]

(Talking it over at break, we thought that at first we could ask Seth to comment briefly on a very vivid dream I had on Friday evening, October 10, 1964. [...] And since it is still fresh in mind I will note an account of it below, although Seth does not discuss it in any detail in this session. [...]

(The shuffling Seth refers to above may have to do with the material on time and the electrical field. [...] According to them, Seth would have to sort through blocks of electrical intensities in order to lift out individual bits of information.)

(We were discussing a short list of mixed questions I had drawn up to ask Seth when the opportunity presented itself, when Seth came through again. [...]

[...] I mentioned them to Jane just before the session tonight in hopes that Seth would mention them.

[...] I thought it might be interesting to ask Seth to comment on Ella, so I also mentioned this subject just before the session.

(Class discussed whether Seth had been here before.)

(There was discussion with Maureen as to Seth’s reality.)

Soon, you see, you will all be able to read the Seth material. [...]

You are always welcome to Seth’s house. [...]

(See the brief references to the therapy of value fulfillment in the opening notes for Session 862, with its Note 1. Today I’d mentioned to Jane how I remembered Seth’s saying — perhaps a couple of years ago — that still untouched in his material is the whole question of the body consciousness, and its role in health and many other fields. Seth had indicated that he had available a vast amount of material on the body consciousness, and that he could give it to us at any time. [...]

[...] She had no questions for Seth, but expected him to continue his material of last Wednesday night, when he’d started an answer to my question about the relationship between the host organism and disease. [...]

[...] When it did, Seth followed the nonbook portion of the last session so well that we want to include it in Mass Events. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] They included a projection through the eastern wall of our living room, and a “visitor” who returned with her; the Latin title of a book; her awareness of a third eye; some material, with diagrams, of me as a monk who wrote manuscripts in an underground chamber that he later sealed; a vision of Seth in a brown robe, looking as I’ve painted him—but the brown robe was “too easy,” Jane said suspiciously. [...]

[...] I should have asked Seth. [...]

(“I think I could get this several different ways,” Jane said at 10:28, “but I’d rather let Seth handle it.... [...]

(“Maybe Seth will put it all together,” I said, meaning all of the evening’s events.

(Now I told her that re Seth’s session for me yesterday, I’d tried using his suggestions when I went to bed, and that they worked well, in that I stopped worrying about Jane. [...] But I’d presented myself with a clear little demonstration that Seth had been right, and that I should tell myself that Jane was being healed, and that I didn’t have to worry. [...]

[...] Seth was there.)

(“Thank you, Seth. [...]

[...] I told Jane I was surprised at what Seth had had to say, about her focusing on things she needn’t be concerned about. [...]

[...] In fact, after supper tonight she produced two more pages of notes that she’d picked up from Seth on his new book: Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. [...] I’ve been expecting Seth to begin it at any time.

[...] When she went in trance, Jane’s delivery was very active and energetic—in marked contrast to her near bleary-eyed state before Seth came through. [...]

[...] Good evening, Seth.”

(“Good night, Seth.” [...]

The collection will include our family trees; my father’s journals and photographs; Jane’s and my own grade-school, high-school, college, and family data; our youthful creative efforts in writing and painting; the comic books and other commercial artwork I produced; our early published and unpublished short stories; my original notes for the sessions; session transcripts, whether published or unpublished, “regular,” private, or from ESP class; tapes, including those made in class of Jane speaking for Seth and/or singing in Sumari; our notes, dream records, journals, and manuscripts; our sketches and paintings; Jane’s extensive poetry; our business correspondence; books, contracts, and files; newsletters about the Seth material, published in the United States and abroad (independently of Jane and me); the greater number of letters from readers—in short, a mass of material showing how our separate beginnings flowed together and resulted in the production of a joint lifework.

Her delivery as Seth was for the most part comparatively subdued.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Now Seth came through with a rather long dissertation concerning the psychological manipulations Jane and I make between Frameworks 1 and 2, and how we can help each other during those transitions. [...]

(Jane has also recently received a phone call from a young husband in Franklin, LA, asking Seth’s help for his wife, who is very ill. We did not know who Seth would speak about first tonight, but surmised it would be Gene Bernard.

[...] Interestingly, John began to ask us questions about the Indian teacher, Baba, who was discussed by Seth and Gene Bernard in the 303rd session. [...]

(Jane sat rather tensely in her chair as she began speaking for Seth. [...]

([John and I:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

(We hadn’t asked that Seth discuss the Prentice-Hall situation this evening — but when Seth came through with a rather ironic smile. [...]

[...] Now we have an idea for our own type of “disclaimer” for the frontmatter of Mass Events, based upon a very apt quote from Seth’s material that we found late in the book. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth’s amused reference was to manuscript page 457 in Mass Events. [...]

Now I want you all, as Ruburt said, to reread the Seth Material and get out your questions, but more than that reread The Seth Material and imagine my telling it to you. [...]

([Bette:] “Alright, I won’t with you, Seth. [...]

[...] Following a discussion of the last part Seth came through.)

Now you may have a Seth break and a Sumari break and I’m sure Ruburt is ready for a class break. [...]

[...] We had guests the following Friday evening, and as Jane described the multiple-channel effects to them, she realized that she was tuning into some of Seth’s backlog of data about peer groups and the need to conform. Seth hadn’t actually given us the material during Wednesday’s session, nor did he now — instead Jane verbalized it on her own to some extent. [...]

(Seth returned in a humorous manner at 10:37.) Now: Resume dictation. [...]

[...] Note the difference between Seth’s heading for this chapter and the one Jane gave before the session.)

(Jane said she believed that “Seth could do three books at once, a chapter at a time on each, and with no confusion among them. [...]

(Before the session I asked Jane if she had any questions for Seth. [...] Now we went over her recent dream activity, in the event Seth chose to offer material on that. [...] Attached is her record of her dreams from June 1-3. Seth opened the session by discussing her June 3 dream. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Now Seth gave another page of material on other matters, which is presented at the 858th session, and ended the session at 9:50 PM.)

[...] At the same time, she had a lot of material in mind from Seth—on the glass experience; a dream I’d had on August 1, in which I’d found her lying on the floor in the bathroom doorway; and a fairly strong earthquake that had struck south of San Francisco, California, this afternoon. Seth, she said somewhat wonderingly, planned to tie all of these episodes together. [...]

(At about 3:30 PM last Thursday, Jane participated in a startling experience —one that we hoped Seth would at least mention this evening. [...]

[...] As I cleaned up the dozens of pieces of glass and put them in a heavy carton we talked about why she might have been protected, and decided to ask Seth to comment.

(From here on Seth’s material leads into more generalized information, so it’s presented as the 871st session. [...]

[...] I wanted to exercise Jane’s right leg while she was still on her back, as Seth suggested I do each day, but she decided to wait until I’d turned her. I also massaged with Oil of Olay the toes of her feet, as Seth had mentioned doing. [...] Jane said the toe touching sent sensations up her legs — as Seth had said it would.

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] After the nap I described it to her, and said I’d wanted to do so earlier, so Seth could comment if he wanted to. [...]

(Jane added that when she listens to me read a session to her, she’ll get glimpses from Seth sometimes of what he’s going to say next time: “The thoughts are mine, but also a mixture, they have a tinge of Seth’s ideas.” [...]

(Jane did very well today, reading the last session, plus the one for March 19, which Seth wants her to review every so often.

(Her Seth voice was quite good, although she used a number of long pauses.)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(I also told Jane that beside the dream I’d like Seth to comment on the fact that I’d awakened this morning with Maude Cardwell on my mind, including the letter I’d written her a couple of weeks ago. [...] I wanted Seth to comment on Maude’s reaction to the letter. [...]

[...] I also gave myself the suggestions Seth had outlined in the session for January 19, concerning my eyes when they aren’t seeing as sharply as I know they can. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] The changes are in the works, and Seth has given many encouraging bits of information that they are having, and will have, an effect.

[...] She didn’t feel Seth around, but lately has wanted to resume the sessions. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Would you spell Frank’s again?” I didn’t think Seth had spelled it correctly —not the way he’d pronounced it.)

[...] Then Seth spelled the name again —this time as he’d first pronounced it:)

(When he originally gave us the 812th session some 16 months ago, Seth told us it would “be part of a chapter later in the book….” [...] They fit in well with material in Mass Events, however — indeed, as soon as Seth confirmed Jane’s headings for Part 3 and Chapter 6, we knew that we’d found the place to present this material. We made our decision without consulting Seth, by the way.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Now Seth left this material to go into a discourse for Jane. [...]

[...] The Frank Watts personality was replaced in the 4th session by Seth. Seth has dealt with Frank Watts to some degree in the following sessions: 4, 8, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21, 25, 29, 31, 51, 85, 88, 173, 184, 189, 224. [...]

[...] Seth dispensed with the usual break before our experimental material. When break finally did arrive Jane said Seth was going to give a break at this time but decided to go ahead because she was in a good state. [...]

(In the last session Seth said the possibility existed that we would have four or five witnesses for the session tonight. [...]

[...] See pages 319-20 for notes on this, in the 236th session, and Seth’s comments. [...]
