“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had thought she might not be able to have a session tonight, but she began to feel Seth around soon after I began writing these notes, at about 7:30. She did well in the session, if rather slowly, but at the same time I became more upset and frustrated as Seth spoke.)

(Jane now spends much time afraid that she won’t be able to manipulate in the john, so it seems that now is the time to go on to other modes of help than our own and Seth’s, I said—unless these last few sessions can help, unless they can add an understanding and/or stimulus that will bring her some relief. [...]

[...] Jim agreed with us—and Seth, incidentally—that Jane’s trouble with double vision was muscular in nature. [...]

[...] Seth has said often that just because one has physical difficulties does not mean those problems are fated to get endlessly and progressively worse, but this hasn’t been born out in Jane’s case —so far. [...]

[...] So far, then, events have fallen into line with Seth’s material yesterday—about the probable lack of a lawsuit, an early resolving of the insurance question, and with Jane’s own feelings about same, at the end of yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] Her Seth voice was quite good. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(Jane, perhaps Seth can tell us next time how we could have reacted even better yesterday to the insurance challenge. [...]

[...] Indeed, Seth was in an almost jocular mood.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(In the 136th session such an interruption was enough of a shock to Jane to cause Seth to end the session. [...]

[...] Seth has discussed them at various times in the past and his advice has been very helpful. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth repeated the last two sentences to make sure I had taken them down correctly.)

(This was one of those times when she was consciously aware that several channels of information were available from Seth. [...]

[...] See the notes for the 616th session, in Chapter Two, for descriptions of Jane’s first experience with Seth’s multiple channels. [...]

(Just before the session Jane told me that Seth could give us what she called The Christ Book at any time. In last Monday’s deleted session Seth had included a section on Jerusalem, which I’ve included in the records as the 678th session for September 3, 1973. Seth told us we could have more on Jerusalem and related events whenever we want it, or have the time, so presumably the Christ Book idea stems from that. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Thank you, Seth. [...]

[...] Finally Seth returned at 11:40.)

[...] Before the session I’d expressed the hope that Seth would have something to say about Jane’s frequently-very-relaxed state today.

(This marked the end of the private material, and Seth ended the session shortly at 9:56 PM.)

[...] Seth was still around, she told me. [...] Even sitting in bed, she remarked that she was picking up more of that generalized material from Seth.

[...] I felt much better by the end of the session; remarkably so, so Seth’s material was on the mark. Then in the bathroom it came to me as we prepared to retire: the feeling in the groin was like a knot—and my realization had been triggered by Seth’s remark about tension I had created in that area. [...]

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

[...] “I know that in those earlier sessions Seth said I equated the left side with the unconscious portions of the personality and the masculine role in society [see the deleted sessions for April 4 and 16, 1979], but—”

[...] She said she now had the feeling that Seth would begin to discuss the affair of the house if we wanted him to. Talking it over, we decided to let Seth bring up the subject when he wanted to. [...]

(This cancellation raised many questions, since Seth had said nothing about any such event; on the other hand, his forecasts had all been prefaced by the word “if,” or similar ones. [...]

(Of course we could still have obtained the house through a bank loan, which was offered to us, but we declined, feeling our ideas had changed in some way as yet unclear to us; yet we felt it was tied up with the material, meager as yet, that Seth has been giving us concerning the power of expectation.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Yet Seth’s Nebene rings true—even including my relationship with Jane way back then.)

(And, of course, recording the thousands of pages of the Seth material in my meticulous way for over 20 years surely reflects a large portion of the Nebene psyche: keeping his own “purified” translations of ancient records.)

He also felt that you had already disapproved of Seth Speaks, not understanding the Nebene connection. [...]

[...] “I think Seth’s going to start another section tonight — but I don’t think he’s quite finished with the last one….” [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] She said she felt that in this section Seth would have a series of exercises related to the one he’d just given, these would help people glimpse at least some of the alternate or probable realities discussed in Section 4.

[...] Seth-Jane’s pace had been good, though — quiet yet forceful.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane as Seth was talking about a sale of her work, which has not even yet taken place: “A woman might have something to do with one sale, through influence. [...]

(“Good night, Seth.”

[...] She said she was quite aware of Seth’s affection for us both at the end of the session.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Again Seth surprised me. [...]

(Actually, I took a moment or two to toy with the idea of asking Seth to comment upon the affair in Iran with the 49 American hostages being held at the American embassy. [...]

[...] Seth’s analogy with the bank accounts and Frameworks l and 2 is an excellent one, of course, and in theory at least I agree with it completely.

(I also suggested to Jane that if she began another Seth book, we do it without notes—straight Seth, with her writing her own introduction, say. [...]

[...] Her Seth voice was good, her delivery rather fast.)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(I said that Seth may have already begun his next book, and if so, fine. [...]

(The first part of this session, being personal, was not used in the Appendix for Seth’s book. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] (Seth’s punctuation.)

[...] For one reason or another—or several—they have been set aside; finishing Seth’s book contributed of course. [...]

[...] It was one of the most difficult sessions I ever recorded; I told Jane that by its end I was barely able to write Seth’s words legibly. [...] As soon as Seth mentioned her feelings of inferiority at the beginning of the session, it was all downhill for me; I thought we’d done a reasonable job on encountering those with our pendulum work, but it seemed that they were still as present and active as ever. Nor could I take any comfort from Seth’s remarks about encountering strangers, or even friends, I said, since it seemed that whenever any outsider was present we were both constantly worrying about whether they would notice Jane’s condition, whether she ever got on her feet, and so forth, until it seemed that those episodes were hardly worthwhile. [...]

[...] Seth spoke at the end of last night’s final interview, and did very well as usual. [...]

(I missed having Monday’s session delayed, since I had a couple of questions for Seth. [...]

(“I don’t know whether that was Seth or not,” Jane said in answer to my obvious question. [...]

It was as close as we could manage to get to the Seth recommendation. [...]

(Her Seth voice was good—more “separated” from her normal voice, more distinctive, perhaps more sure, and a bit louder.)

(“Afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] I thanked Seth. [...]

[...] I told her at the end of the day that the Seth material is an excellent example of her own direct cognition; this obvious description had come to me after I worked with Seth’s material on direct cognition in Chapter 6 of Dreams. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(Seth commented upon the fund, perhaps, because of the letter I took to read Jane, from Mary Newman. [...]

(My dream Seth referred to took place yesterday morning, and was so vivid I lay awake for an hour after having it. [...]

(There was a short exchange between Seth and me, which I didn’t note down verbatim. [...] When Seth asked if I had more questions, finally, I said no, that I’d have to think it over, and that perhaps we’d decide not to use photographs after all in “Unknown” Reality.

[...] to some degree—proof to me that Seth’s diagnosis had been quite accurate.
