“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“The information Seth had concerning me is very interesting. It could have meaning, especially since I’m dating a Greek boy, and Seth mentions a Greek chorus. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”

([Barbara:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(As we talked about Seth’s statement, and decided we should concentrate upon beneficial things, Jane then wanted to know how this idea fits in with the importance of not repressing negative thoughts. As I started to answer Seth broke in:)

[...] When she returned home she used the pendulum to learn that she had been repressing reactions to a statement of mine of the other day, to the effect that I didn’t think she’d be able to get around well enough to go on tour for Seth Speaks, if Prentice-Hall asked us to. [...]

[...] I reminded her of what Seth had said in the deleted session for February 26, 1972 , in Marathon: “You get what you concentrate upon. [...]

(“Thank you, Seth. [...]

[...] Seth and I did have a chat until 10:38, without notes. [...] I wasn’t at my best but did rouse enough to have a good exchange with Seth. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(More of what I had learned with the pendulum is verified by Seth in more material throughout the session.)

[...] Seth’s information will prove to be very useful.

[...] She doesn’t know if it was Seth coming through. [...]

(6:52.) Seth’s energy helps fill your sails, and in those terms encourages you in proper directions. [...]

[...] I’d say that was the closest to Seth that I’d come. [...]

[...] First it wasn’t Seth, then it almost was.... [...]

[...] While Seth was speaking Edgar hypnotized Maria so she could scan Seth and wondered if Maria should tell Seth or Jane her findings.)

(During break Edgar remarked Seth said he asked foolish questions. [...] Maria remarked Seth yelled at her.)

[...] Edgar remarked he would like Seth’s comments on their method.)

[...] Maria remarked there was no change or fluctuation in the lights while Seth was speaking than she had seen in Jane the previous evening.)

(In the unscheduled 203rd session of October 28, Seth told us we would shortly get another letter from Dr. Instream “within a few days.” [...] This noon Jane told me she thought Seth might have something to say tonight about the attempts at communication with Dr. Instream.

(Also in the 203rd session, Seth said Howard Kimball would be elected mayor of Elmira. [...]

[...] In it Seth mentioned developments to come within John’s family, involving his mother particularly. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Before the session she said, “I still get stage fright when I think of Seth doing this book on his own.” And when the session began, Seth did at once resume work on “his” book.)

[...] But overall Jane’s pace was faster and more confident than in the first two sessions dealing with Seth’s book. She also liked what Seth had done on his book so far.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(At 3:10 Jane said she’d just picked up from Seth the heading for Chapter 4 of the book — that she had to reach a certain level of well-being before she could get his material, obviously.

(Her Seth voice was good, but with many pauses.)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] Seth’s chapter heading is the same as the one she’d picked up from him earlier this afternoon, she said. [...]

As for the question of distortions in the material, and the obvious contradictions in the early sessions as far as dates, etc., are concerned: The reasons for these are dealt with by Seth as the material unfolds. [...] As Seth has often said, the material will furnish its own evidence, more and more emphatically as time goes on.

[...] (This includes a few sessions other than the Seth material.) There are 168 hours in a week.

At first when she began dictating Seth’s answers to my questions, Jane would hear the words within, then repeat them aloud so I could write them down. [...]

Now even when Jane delivers an answer via Seth that may be five typewritten pages long, she never repeats herself, loses track of what she is saying, uses the words “uh,” “er,” etc., or changes in any way what she had said. [...]

(Since I’ve been curious about these questions for some time, I thought the readers of Seth’s book might be also. As things develop, however, Seth doesn’t pay any attention to the first question now, and takes off from the second one in a most interesting way.

(At this point, however, Seth requested that I lay my notebook aside for a bit, saying he regretted that I was kept so busy writing during sessions. [...] Jane’s eyes were wide and dark, her delivery lively; it was easy to sense the immediacy of Seth’s presence. [...]

(I had two questions which I explained to Jane, without necessarily expecting Seth to go into them tonight.

(1. In the 556th session, Seth said that many writers of historical pieces are writing out of direct past-life experience. [...]

[...] In spite of being sleepy just before the session, she said, she had “felt Seth as clear as a bell.” [...] She’d also been aware of what Seth was saying, which usually isn’t the case.

(Jane told me that had the session continued, Seth was going to say that Patty Middleton’s visit last week had been incipient from the time we met her in Philadelphia, in September, 1970. Seth knew there was a high probability that she would be here when he was working on the section of his book concerning stages of consciousness. [...]

[...] Once she began speaking for Seth, however, her manner turned fairly active; her voice became very clear and precise, and slightly loud.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth gave data on Albert Blevins; perhaps John can check some of it. Seth promised the rest of the data John requested in the next session.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.” [...]

[...] Speaking as Seth, Jane now delivered two pages of material for herself and me. [...] Note Seth’s heading for this Section 5, for example.

1. The reader can also refer to Seth’s material on dreams in chapters 8 and 10 in Seth Speaks, and chapters 10 and 20 in Personal Reality.

(Just as she had this afternoon, Jane “picked up” a little material from Seth at 9:00 this evening. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(2. From a discussion Jane and I had the other day: Why do Seth’s books sell so much better than her own? I’ve always been upset by this, and several recent visitors have admitted reading only the Seth books. [...]

[...] Seth’s material this evening was making me wonder if my notes were going to be detrimental in that work. But I was also simply curious about whether “Unknown” Reality was going to do as well as the other Seth books.

[...] For myself, I listed the following before the session, as I’d promised Seth last time I would:

(3. More on Jane’s eyes, since I know she’s worried and frightened by that condition of strain, as Seth described it in the last session.

[...] No sooner had Seth come through than I became aware of an unaccustomed tightness in my writing hand — a tension that interfered with the automatic formation of the letters and words. I kept the notes going by making an extra effort, but I found it quite distracting to keep thinking about the mechanics of writing while trying to concentrate upon what Seth was saying. [...]

(The next morning Jane told me that she and/or Seth “worked on the book all night. [...] We planned to ask Seth about it also.)

[...] (Seth-Jane spoke emphatically, rapping upon the coffee table between us.) Because of this, physically speaking and in life as you think of it, the mind is to a large extent dependent upon the brain’s growth and activity. [...]

(I told Jane I’d thought of using the pendulum after the session to get at the cause of the hand phenomenon, since I didn’t want to interrupt book dictation by asking Seth about it. [...]

(In an effort to further clear up Seth’s rather involved interpretation of Jane’s dream of September 7, I made it a point to ask Jane just before the session was due tonight about the statement Seth-Jane had made on page 46, involving Jane’s friend, Marie Tubbs, in childbirth. Marie wrote Jane on October 11 that she has not given birth for two years, and Seth dealt with what looked like a discrepancy between the two sets of facts to a partial degree in the 98th session. [...]

(Jane had a rather unexpected opportunity, also, to verify Seth’s diagnosis of the nodule on her left wrist yesterday afternoon. [...] See Seth’s diagnosis on page 77. Needless to say, Jane was pleased that Seth was verified.

[...] Seth has dealt with the machinations below the surface at Searle in various sessions. John now feels also that things are percolating below the surface, and he requested Jane and I find out what we could about the current state of affairs involving Searle, from Seth tonight.

[...] She thought Seth might discuss this subject this evening.

[...] We discussed the Seth tapes Wade is keeping for us, and Yale University Library. [...] But we sat for it as usual, and eventually Jane began to feel Seth around. [...]

[...] The notes Seth referred to are those I wrote this afternoon and tonight for the first session of the latest Seth book, Mass Events. [...]

[...] At the same time, an extra copy of it is inserted into the deleted notebooks so that Jane can refer to it along with the rest of the material Seth has given for her.

(This reminded her that sometime this afternoon she’d picked up something from Seth about a topic for this evening’s session. [...]

[...] Seth then came through, and in no uncertain terms told us to mind our own business. We were told, in a strong and echoing Seth voice, to let the poor man rest in peace; he would be “here” for a while longer yet, then leave. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Peculiarly, she had a mental image which she described now; while speaking for Seth she had seen, in color, blue water as in an ocean, and white sand and two people running toward the beach in bathing suits. [...]

(Seth refers to our adventure of last Friday, October 27, 1967. [...]

[...] Suddenly I got some material on dreams that I knew was from Seth. I called Rob, and when I told him what I had, a spontaneous Seth session began—most enjoyable from my standpoint.... My consciousness seemed to be riding on top of his [Seth’s] in a funny way.”

[...] “I was Seth then,” she said, “but it was half and half there for a while. [...] “So I went into a Seth thing. [...]

[...] An extra copy of this dream is attached to my own notebook that I’m letting grow all by itself into ideas that may be used in a work of my own, similar to Seth’s original suggestion forThrough My Eyes.

[...] As she sat at the sink she began to get more dream material, this time from Seth. [...]

[...] So we talked about what a great book Seth could do on the hostage question. [...] I agreed that it would certainly encapsulate our whole civilized world structure before Seth finished it. [...] She wanted to know what would happen to Seth’s book on dreams in the meantime, and I explained that it would only wait until the other project was finished. [...]

(Jane said she felt Seth around by 9:20, but that she thought the session would be a short one. [...] I wanted to hear from Seth something about why her body was taking so long to respond in those areas.

(I might add that Seth’s capsule commentary on the reasons for her symptoms is just what I wanted, and that we ought to keep copies of it available for easy reference. [...] If Jane reads this material before holding a session tonight, perhaps Seth can comment.)

[...] She hasn’t been able to really explain them yet; perhaps Seth will comment. [...]
