[...] I have already given the title, and at another level of consciousness Jane Roberts was able (12 days ago, for example) to perceive some glimpses of some of the subject matter that will be included here. So far, however, physically there is only the page of paper upon which Robert Butts is writing down these words I speak.

I speak through Ruburt—or through Jane Roberts, if you prefer. [...]

[...] The Robert Browning reference concerns a letter Dick received from someone [a medium?] who told him that he’d been Robert Browning in a previous life.

All Dick Bach needed that night after Robert Browning was another fancy tale. [...]

[...] Only the session notes taken by my husband, Robert Butts, tell me what particular daily events we were engaged in during the time of the book’s production. [...]

Robert Butts

Dear Miss Roberts:

[...] For example, the Jane Roberts of now is different from the Jane Roberts of ten years ago, though “I” have not been conscious of any particular change of identity.

[...] Having a whole self may be great, but if my Jane Roberts self is engulfed by it after death, then to me that’s not much of a survival. [...]

[...] These fragments—Jane Roberts is one of them—are entirely independent as to action and decision, yet the inner psychic components are constantly in communication with the whole self of which they are part. [...]

[...] I simply went into trance twice a week, spoke in a “mediumistic” capacity for Seth, or as Seth, and dictated the words to my husband, Robert Butts, who wrote them down.

[...] Robert Butts had gone out for a while, and Jane, Eve, and I were chatting. [...]

(The rest of the session was devoted to Seth’s interpretation of one of my dreams—Robert Butts.)
