“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I explained that I’d become quite interested in the Fred Conyers thing because I’d been reading a couple of pages a day of one of the manuscripts he’d left us: The Rule Book of Love: A Seth Book. I thought the title intriguing. I also thought portions of the manuscript itself were intriguing, quite acute, mixed up with Fred’s obsessions and compulsions, his personal life and family, his far-out ideas, his attempts and frustrations as he tried to use the manuscript as a vehicle toward understanding himself as he attempted to uncover the secrets of his personality: He thought them locked away from his understanding by the very device he had chosen of speaking for Seth. [...]

[...] Considering her sleepy state of a few minutes ago, her Seth voice was very good, her eyes open and dark, pauses as usual.)

[...] For the first time in a long while, I’d say, her delivery and manner was much more like the Seth of old —firm and amused and emphatic in turn, and free of tremor, with pauses as usual. [...]

(As I told Jane today, a study of the affair would be fascinating in many ways, particularly as it would have to involve Fred’s behavior and beliefs as associated with the Seth material. [...]

(Tonight we were not sure what Seth would discuss, so just before the session I asked that he talk about the seance held last week, representing the 435th session. [...]

(Jane made the humorous remark that she hoped she was “more than a doorway that Seth walked through.”)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Mark is Seth’s entity name for Bill Macdonnel.) A child was present, hence the Nina connection again. [...]

([Pat:] “But I hate to ask for a Seth session. What right have I got to ask for a Seth session.”

[...] My emotional condition at the was a mixture of embarrassment for I was about to be exposed; guilt that I was imposing on a friend, for I want to give to friends, not take from them; an utter fear that Seth was about to smash my hopes with the truth. [...]

([Rob:]“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth’s voice was deeper when the session began again.)

(I had to laugh as Seth-Jane began the following monologue, for as soon as it began Jane got to her feet and resumed pacing. [...] She said that Seth didn’t care about her position. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Seth, what do you mean exactly when you use the word universe? [...]

(Seth’s following answer, through Jane, tallied so closely with the words forming in my own mind that once again, as in the 28th session, I wondered if telepathy might be involved, as in the case of John Bradley.)

[...] Seth now resumed dictation on his book. During the above presentation, Jane was again aware of channels being available from Seth, about us, the speakers, the book, etc.; she could tune into any of these, etc.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane came out of trance and told us that she knew Seth had said something about astrology because she had had a conceptual experience, which she simply couldn’t put into words, involving the positions of the planets and the vastness behind their symbolism. [...] Break lasted for a half an hour and Rob was wondering if the session was over when Seth resumed at 11:02.)

[...] Jane had written this chant down during an Alpha experiment in class; when she started to read it to us, she suddenly wailed the words as loudly as I have ever heard even Seth’s voice go:

(I thought that Jane was uneasy about the whole experience last night, but as soon as she felt Seth around, we all seemed to relax more. [...]

(To me:) Now, you remember, because of one of your experiences and something I said in a session—or, rather, another portion of me said in a session —having to do with the fact that Seth II, if you could perceive him, would be as small as a brown nut. [...]

(“Thank you, Seth. [...] Jane’s stance is showing improvement now, as Seth commented. [...]

[...] I was aware that there wouldn’t be much emotional charge connected with these, and Seth was too. [...]

[...] This includes the two usual tests plus the material delivered by Seth concerning our landlord. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth had dealt with Jimmy and his family in other sessions, notably the 100th and 101st. [...]

[...] I had quite a few questions to ask, but since my anger had still been building up I now did not write them down, or Seth’s answers—which were very good, incidentally. [...] A sharp exchange with Seth followed, and I ended up furious—which I suppose was a good way to blow off steam. Seth insisted that the answers re Jane’s symptoms, and my own contributing attitudes, had already been given in past sessions, but were not being followed.

(Although we were both tired by the end of the session, I had the feeling that Jane, as Seth, was a bit reluctant to go too much into the affair with Prentice re The Seth Material, and ended the session rather abruptly at that point for that reason. [...]

Good evening, Seth.

(As Seth, Jane gestured to me to wait. [...]

[...] “I’m just laying quiet for a second, although I don’t feel him around [Seth],” she said.

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] She began reading the sessions—just the Seth material itself—from the first one for October 9. She did as well as she had done earlier today. [...]

[...] I wanted any information from Seth I could get. [...]

[...] I told her that Seth had done an excellent job of analyzing the dream. I reminded her of the Oriental woman and daughter in the dream, since Seth hadn’t mentioned them. [...]

(I described the dream to Jane before she had lunch, and asked that Seth comment if she had a session. [...]

[...] I should have asked Seth to comment.

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] Maybe Seth’s right—about dozing after eating.... [...] But I do have the feeling that Seth will give us considerable help once we get going. [...]

[...] She added that she often thought of trying something that way, but that she hesitated to ask me to take the time to sit around in case nothing happened, since she knew I was trying to work as much as I could on the intro for Seth’s Dreams. [...]

(This course of action has been reminding me, of course, of Seth’s assertion that Jane’s thyroid has regenerated itself in the past. [...]

[...] She didn’t remember much of what Seth had said—yet she also knew she’d told me various parts of the material through the day. [...]

How does the human data from such very ancient times fit in with the comparatively modest dates — of “only” 50 million to 30 million years ago — that Seth cites for his mutated forms at the beginning of this session? [...] We think Seth can help put it together to at least some degree, should we ever ask him to try.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

1. Seth is letting his material automatically answer my question about early man; See Appendix 6, as well as Note 7 for Session 688. According to our dictionary, the geologic time span he indicates in tonight’s session falls within the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. [...]

[...] In connection with Seth’s material here, however: In the United States alone there have been many discoveries of human (and/or humanlike) tracks, both large and small, in very ancient rock formations. [...]

[...] Felt much better today, mentally and physically—roused, enthusiastic—followed Seth’s suggestions as far as I recalled them from last night and with I admit, results. [...]

Twilight; remembered Seth last PM on sense data; felt myself respond... [...]

[...] I’d wanted Seth to comment on my first art dream, the one involving greeting cards, but he hasn’t done so yet. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] Jane has become so adept at snapping out of even a Seth trance that no one on the staff ever notices anything. [...]

[...] I told Jane the session was very good, that Seth had done an excellent little job of interpreting our dreams. [...]

(Here Seth refers to the fact that Jane has been made Assistant Director at the art gallery. [...] Her duties have been changed somewhat, and will include lecturing to the children’s classes on art history; Jane likes to teach, and many sessions ago Seth said this ability was a carry-over from a previous life, and was so far not being used in this life.)

(Continuing the story of narcotics in Elmira as predicted by Seth in the 63rd session, June 17, 1964, there was published in the Elmira paper for Saturday, Aug. [...]

[...] 30, Bill Macdonnel, back from Provincetown, Cape Cod, confirmed almost all of the data given by Seth in the 68th and 75th sessions, concerning Bill’s vacation. [...]

(Before tonight’s session I mentioned to Jane that I hoped Seth would discuss the August 12-15 date he gave for Miss Callahan, and would mention Bill’s report on his predictions. [...]

[...] And when you look at me and want Seth to come through, and when you don’t want to know what Jane says but you want to know what Seth says, you are denying your own reality. [...] Because you’re saying, well, Jane is just an individual, and she can’t know but Seth knows, and I’m an individual and I don’t know, but Seth knows. But without me Seth couldn’t speak, and without your inner selves you wouldn’t have the knowledge.

[...] But if you’re waiting for me to have Seth come through, you should be as anxious to hear your own inner selves come through. [...]

[...] Seth was speaking. [...]

(During break Astor gave his views of Seth and the material.)

[...] Sumari came through to explain the tape, then Seth spoke.)

And now you may all take a Seth break except, of course, I will answer our friend here from Richelieu’s time. [...]

[...] Now you may all take a Seth break. [...]

(Gert remarked it was good to hear Seth speak again.)

(At 8:30 this evening Jane had “not even a glimmer” of what Seth would discuss for the session. [...] She said that sometimes for a period of perhaps two weeks, she will have an idea of what Seth will talk about; then will begin a longer period during which she has no advance ideas. [...]

(Here Seth referred to Bill Macdonnel. [...] In past sessions Seth has given Bill the name of his entity, Mark, and answered for Bill several questions that we relayed. [...]

(I would like to ask Seth if I was using my inner senses during the following episode, without being aware that I was doing so.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane said Seth “was full of energy. [...] Seth could have gone on for hours.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(At last break I asked Jane if Seth could discuss two points: Who would be waiting for Father at his death?; and the situation surrounding a letter Jane recently received from a professor at Cornell, who works in remote sensing and asked Jane to deliver an ESP presentation to his graduate class.)

(“Earlier this evening I had mentioned to Jane my long-standing interest in Seth’s statement, years ago, that all ESP perceptions had an electromagnetic basis. [...]
