“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She was also working on her own The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher: The World View of William James. [...]

[...] Later in the month, Jane started writing James. [...]

[...] The pointer’s loss however was quite embarrassing because the board did not belong to us, but to our landlord, James Spaziani. [...]

[...] (This from Jane’s reading of William James lately.) You have been afraid of really structuring the improvements, of really making an important effort, for fear that effort will fail.

(She hasn’t undergone a classical religious conversion of the kind William James describes in his The Varieties of Religious Experience,⁴ yet more than once she’s known her own forms of ecstasy, or deep alteration of consciousness, or illumination — whatever one chooses to call such states. [...]

[...] For a few minutes, five or more, I was aware of quite a bit of material on work, and the Protestant mainstream [as separate from, say, Emerson or James or Thoreau, even]. [...]

[...] The number 2 is shown in the address of one of the women council,members on the front of the object: “…daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. McFarland, 2 Glenbrook Rd…” etc.

[...] As gifts for me because of my interest in their great creativity, Jane “tuned into”, on her own and without Seth, excellent books on the artist Paul Cézanne in 1977 and on the philosopher William James in 1978. [...]

[...] So she’s been working on her own James, writing poetry, painting, and helping me out with Seth’s Psyche by doing some of the work I usually do when he’s finished a book: typing sessions for the manuscript, checking my rough notes, rewriting some of them and making suggestions about others. [...]

(Our landlord and his wife, James and Marian Spaziani, were scheduled to attend tonight’s session, and to arrive by 8:30. [...]

[...] The idea [of protection] also came back after reading a book on William James that a friend gave us for Christmas. [James’s] attitudes and mine so often seem similar—that he was determined to be daring, press ahead no matter what, explore consciousness—while at the same time being attracted to safety, disliking controversy, wanting peace, etc. [...]

[...] My eye troubles started the same spring that Seth started dictating it [in 1977]; I was doing [my world-view book on William] James; and those people were picketing Prentice-Hall’s offices in New York City because of the Seth material. [...]

[...] The Seth books sell better, however, than do her “own” books: How to Develop Your ESP Power, Adventures in Consciousness, Psychic Politics, Cézanne and James, her Oversoul Seven novels, Dialogues and Emir. (See the opening notes for this 931st session, as well as Note 10, for my description of the demise of Emir.) Now Jane adds God of Jane to her list, with If We Live Again to follow in a few months.

After tonight’s session, Jane told me that his Practice Element 13 was one of the two she’d had insights on during the night preceding the deleted 717th (James-Jung) session. [...]

COMMENT: The next day a friend, Peter James, visited us. [...]

Today I received scientific corroboration by mail from James Beal, a NASA scientist, for some of Seth’s data on the units that Seth says underlie all physical particles. [...]

[...] It belongs to our landlord, James Spaziani.)

[...] James Spaziani might be good. [...]

[...] The other two are The World View of Paul Cézanne (1977), and The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher: The World View of William James (1978). [...]

[...] One personal example: for many years I carried a beat-up old paperback edition of James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience beside me on the front seat of my old Ford Taurus. [...]

We’d borrowed the board from our landlord, James Spaziani, who hadn’t had any success using it with his family. [...]
