“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane said Seth was thinking of something having to do with moment points; she had some images, “like star shapes, only layered thick..”

(“Good night, Seth.”

(We received a letter from Pat Norelli today in which she substantiates some clairvoyant material concerning her, given by Seth in Session 340. [...]

([John and I:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

I had some pertinent remarks to make this evening, and since Philip (Seth’s entity name for John Bradley) is indeed a friend, I shall feel free to make them, although they are somewhat of a personal nature, and directed to you and our reluctant medium.

[...] John said that nothing in the impressions meant anything to him; he could see no connections—so much so, he said, that as Seth gave the impressions John wondered if they were really directed to him. [...]

([John:] “Good night Seth.”)

(We had two questions for Seth, since we’re trying to get into the habit of writing such down as they occur to us: 1. Jane wanted Seth to comment on why he’ll take off on something she’s read, and reinterpret it his own way, or carry it further; her question came up because he did this Monday while she’s reading Fred Hoyle’s book, Ten Faces of The Universe; 2. Jane wanted Seth to give information on her “significant” dream of last Saturday morning, July 1. She couldn’t remember any details from it, but has talked about it often; she thinks it had something to do with health.)

[...] I would imagine that Seth made his last remark because Jane and I were speculating about the fate of the material after our deaths – getting a literary executor, etc.)

[...] And in our 12th Session Seth gave what I still think of as a cornerstone that served as a preliminary framework upon which the rest of The Seth Material would be built. I have quoted parts of it in other books, yet the analogy Seth gave us is such an excellent introduction to the interior universe and to his ideas that it is almost indispensable. [...]

I had only begun speaking for Seth a few sessions earlier. [...] We began this one with the Ouija board, but after only a few moments, I shoved it aside and began dictating as Seth. [...]

[...] Those of you who read my two other books in this field know that the experiments were astonishingly successful and led, through the Ouija board, to our first contact with Seth.

[...] Seth didn’t really announce himself until we had worked with the Ouija board four times. [...]

[...] Seth’s material has been infused with a driving energy. [...]

[...] Seth’s manner was quiet to begin with this evening.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Instead I’m usually concentrating on recording it, checking with Seth when I’m in doubt about a word, asking that worthy to repeat a phrase when I fall behind in the notes….

(Seth suggested Jane leave the gallery job in the 82nd session, August 27,1964, and she soon did so. In the 92nd session, September 28,1964, Seth predicted the sale of Jane’s book on ESP by name. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(See the 12th session for Seth’s first discussion of the fifth dimension.)

(“Good night, Seth.”

[...] She felt that Seth came through as a personality to a good degree. She said she could tell this by feeling her features in unaccustomed positions as Seth delivered the material. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth must have caught on though.)

(The unscheduled session Seth referred to above is the one held on Friday, November 5, for our four young friends. [...]

(“Thank you, Seth.” [...]

(Seth’s reference to—concerns a new Oversoul Seven book Jane has just begun. [...]

(“Honestly,” Jane said the morning after last Wednesday’s session, “I think I was doing book work in my sleep the whole night — only I kept hearing my own voice instead of Seth’s. I even thought of getting up and trying to write down the material, except that I didn’t think it would really work that way. [...] Her next nighttime involvement with Seth’s book is reported at the end of this session.

(I reminded her of a couple of subjects I hoped Seth would discuss, as he’d promised to do some time ago: 1. The great flood of June, 1972, in this area, and our roles in it; see the notes for the 613th session in Chapter One. 2. Birth defects, as occasionally referred to by Seth in the course of this book.

(During class, Seth commented that this latest Sumari development would help her decipher the very ancient — and largely oral — Speaker “manuscripts” that she mentions in her Introduction. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(I had the choice of trying to guide Seth back to the object through questions, or of trying again with new data. [...] Seth’s accuracy had picked up toward the end of the data, however. [...]

(At the end of Seth’s second try at the envelope data, he once again came up with the newspaper connection: “Still, there seems to be a newspaper connection. [...] I do not know if Seth referred to this, or merely black ink being connected with newspapers.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth also mentioned a connection with turbulence at the start of the data. [...]

[Seth II:] Let the human characteristics by which you know me, fade into their proper perspective. Seth as you know him, is distant in my own past, a reality that I scarcely remember. [...] I am not only what he will one day become in your terms I am far more—and in me your Seth, while remaining a developing identity on his own, is a distant memory in my consciousness. [...]

[...] Within these, Seth as you know him is a shadow within my awareness. [...]

(Seth.) Now, we will come to get our good friend back. [...]

(Seth II.) Donot imagine that we are not individuals or that because we seem alien to you that we do not know joy or creativity. [...]

[...] I suggested Seth discuss the experience tonight. [...]

(Before the session Jane showed me the paper she’d written this afternoon, on the direction she felt that Seth would be taking in Mass Reality. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Thank you, Seth.”

(As Jane and I worked with the pendulum on Thursday morning, May 8, I thought of two questions for Seth that we’d never asked him before. [...]

[...] I asked that Seth comment.

[...] We asked that Seth comment on the whole idea of inspiration for her, beyond material he’s already given.

[...] The material we covered is indicated in Seth’s material immediately following, so there’s no need to recap it here.)

(As we were eating lunch today Jane said she thought Seth would discuss the question of good and evil, re our conversation on those subjects the other day. [...] Once I’d written it down, I saw that its subject matter fit in very well with the idea of good and evil, and told Jane I hoped Seth would use it in any discussion of his own.

(I had another question for Seth: What should Jane do about her walking on days when she doesn’t feel like doing so—as today? [...]

(I was so surprised by this statement that I stared at Jane—whereupon, as Seth she thought I hadn’t heard it properly and repeated it.)

[...] I’d no sooner begun my closing notes than Seth returned.)

[...] I told her I hoped it was an early sign of the new healing and freedom Seth has been saying she’s on her way to achieving through her latest bouts of fever, her cold, and so forth.

[...] Jane’s Seth voice was quieter than usual, and had a hoarse or rasping quality to a mild degree.)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(“Thank you, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(I should have asked whether Seth was referring to last night’s missed session, or to this one.)

(Seth referred to Greg, a young man who arrived here yesterday afternoon in a taxi. [...]

(I didn’t catch Seth’s last word. [...]

[...] When I asked her what she meant, Jane said she’d been blue lately, wondering what good the work on Seth’s books could do in the world.)

[...] She also thought that she personally couldn’t live up to the high quality of the Seth material — her own “mental work,” a good way of putting it. [...]

[...] Our friends wanted to celebrate the publication of her first “psychic” book, her first mention of Seth, but she read poetry at the party and wouldn’t talk about the ESP book — too embarrassed. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(I read parts of the session for April 18 to Jane — wherein Seth had said she’d become extremely frightened. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(“Thank you,” I said to the departed Seth.

(4.28 p.m. I told Jane that Seth’s analysis of the car dream was excellent. [...]

[...] I think, and as Seth agreed, that the dream means far more than sums of money received alone. [...]

[...] He had many questions for Seth, which that gentleman answered with his usual aplomb.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”

[...] If he now uses psycho-cybernetics as applied to his work and to the (Seth) book, and makes a definite effort with those methods to focus all of his energy into the book, the symptoms will simply fall away, and quickly. [...]

(“All right, Seth. [...]
