“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Even her early intuitive connections with her grandfather, “Little Daddy,” helped only so much. Add to those early fears her later fears of rejection not only by the mainstream publishing world because of the “psychic” nature of her work, no matter how good it was—but also by most of the world in general because of her chosen and unique way of expressing her great creativity: the Seth material. Seth also told Jane that her mother was “an old enemy,” thus implying a reincarnational relationship, but we didn’t demand details at that early stage. [...]

Thus, I opened up several years ago to ask Rick to publish the nine volumes of The Early Sessions through his New Awareness Network, Inc. [...]

[...] See Volume 1 of The Early Sessions. [...]

[...] Not only because of Jane’s intense early fears in this lifetime, I felt, but also because of past lives, as Frank Watts had indicated. [...]

(Long pause at 9:20.) Ruburt’s creative nature early began to perceive at least that man’s existence contained other realities that were deeper. [...]

In the meantime, since he was older, and in the light of our sessions, it seemed to him that he must have outgrown many of the beliefs of early childhood, and that he must have enough perspective so that those earlier feelings and fears no longer applied. [...]

So we must now show Ruburt the source of the Sinful Self to begin with, and convince him that such is not his natural self at all and to do so we will to some extent at least go into his early background. [...]

[...] The story told by the driver upset early sexual feelings, and all of this together caused his difficulties. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s past compulsive behavior was established at a rather early age, the ritualized activity serving as a substitute security framework.

[...] They were obviously breaking down in any case, no longer serving their purpose you see, and you did not realize that they were being fueled by early compulsive behavior.

[...] But on the other hand the mother was early frightened by the idea of a vital male baby, who might be overly rambunctious and difficult to control. [...]

The disease showed itself early. [...]

[...] I said that the spectacular results obtained had seemed to come straight out of Framework 2. We also discussed the long essay on early man in Time for November 7, and I remarked that I’d like to ask Seth some questions about the state of our present “knowledge” about our heritage.

Remind me, however, of your question about early man, and I will give you some material for it at our next session.

[...] We also talked of moving the beginning time ahead an hour to 8 PM, at least during the winter months when it gets dark early.

[...] At the time the lad was in his very early thirties, but you were much younger.

You stretch, a symbol of the relatively sleepy, unrealized period of youth, early youth, in which you were caught, hence the stiffish arm that was not able therefore to keep the man who is your father with you in time. [...]

Your mother sat in the dream before a higher bar, symbolizing your own inner conviction, based on early rather puritanical bases, that your mother and her actions should be judged, and a child’s natural but unfortunate vindictiveness: “She who has hurt me, particularly if my mother and a female, shall meet justice.” [...]

[...] I began it early in February. [...]

(Intently:) I am trying to tell you something about the greater reality of your species, yet to do so with any justice, I must divest you, if possible, of certain concepts about the beginning of time, or “man’s early history.”

[...] It immediately begins to learn to accept certain neurological pulses which bring results, and not others, and so neurological patterns are early learned. [...]

Then, for some early quotes from Seth about his own ability to move among certain systems of reality, see Note 4 for the 680th session in this volume.

[...] Marjorie Buck took over ownership and operation of The Art Shop early this year. [...] See Volume 6 of The Early Sessions.

[...] I was working with him in the early 1950’s. Also, see Session 290.

(Bill Ward’s letter accompanying the artwork mentioned his recent attendance at a dinner gathering of many of the group of friends we worked with in the early 1940’s. Oddly enough, the last letter I received from Wendell Crowley, in May 1966, also described a similar event.)

An amphitheater in evening or early evening, before the trip home. [...]

[...] Some of your early unfortunate responses, for example with Rebellers, were highly charged, you see, because of the circumstances. [...]

(The next day I began my monthly period, a few days early but not at all unusually early. [...]

[...] attempts on her life, but would die in her early eighties of [pneumonia?]. [...]

A few of the early factual statements made were unknown, I believe, even to his wife. [...]

[...] Sessions usually run until 10:30 to 11 PM these days, so the early end this evening shows that conditions were not of the best. [...]

[...] We were left thinking that the general tone of Seth’s material early in the session, especially in his references to such ideas as “historical sequences” and “alternate realities,” might have served as a trigger.

[...] Listening to some of the tapes students made in Jane’s ESP class—in the early ‘70s, say—I hear Seth being allowed to spontaneously give regular students and first-time visitors often quite detailed and penetrating insights into their other lives; explaining how events and emotions from other existences can intermix with their counterparts in present lives. [...] I think her deep concern about leading others astray, related as it is to her early religious training, is the inhibiting force here. [...]

[...] We finished correcting the proofs for Mass Events during our very quiet celebration of the year-end holidays, and early in January I mailed the book to Tam.

[...] Early in February she wrote an essay on Seth as a “master event.”⁴ That piece was inspired by her material in an old journal; Jane elaborated upon it in an effort to fit events from our own lives into our national consciousness. [...]

[...] During the early morning hours of the 6th she had a very vivid and joyful reincarnational dream involving herself, and a dream in which she returned to her own past in this life. [...]

(Long pause.) In your terms of time, however, we will speak of a beginning, and in that beginning it was early man’s dreams that allowed him to cope with physical reality. [...]

In those early times all species shared their dreams in a way that is now quite unconscious for your kind, so that in dreams man inquired of the animals also—long before he learned to follow the animal tracks, for example. [...]

People were not nearly as isolated as it now appears, for in their dreams early men communicated their various locations, the symbols of their cultures and understanding, the nature of their arts. [...]

[...] I use the word “sinful” in Ruburt’s case because of the early church connections in particular. [...]

[...] While you do not possess it in the same fashion, you are also tainted by it, picking up such beliefs from early background, and primarily from your father in that regard. [...]

[...] The child or infant is highly suggestible to parental belief systems, so that it can early be provided with a conceptual framework that is complementary to its surroundings, to the group or environment. [...]

[...] And shrug aside many early beliefs. [...]

(2. I found myself wondering if my own attitudes might have strongly influenced Jane’s early psychic behavior in ways neither of us suspected—that she may have inhibited certain elements of her abilities because she feared my own ideas about distractions, time, failure, etc. [...]

I simply wanted to get the material started—get an early start for our next session. [...]

[...] I told her that I’d be leaving early to go to the dentist. [...]

I believe that his (ESP) class will work up to seven by the end of spring, or very early fall, stay at that level, and then be joined by others. [...]

[...] All of this goes back to ideas that existence must be justified, and Ruburt’s early ideas that writing would justify his life—but writing should express life, and is an expression of being, an expression of spontaneity, an expression of emotion, of body as well as mind (all intently). [...]

His early writing, and his best later writing, spring alike from that realization, when he forgets ideas of our work’s responsibility, or how respectable he should appear, and simply does it because it is a natural expression of his being —one expression among others. [...]
