1. For more extensive material on Seth Two, see Chapter Seventeen of The Seth Material, and Chapter Twenty-two of Seth Speaks. In the latter Seth tells us: “Seth Two stands relatively in the same position to me as I stand to the woman [Jane] through whom I am now speaking.”

2. Jane referred here to the deleted part of tonight’s session, and Seth’s discussion therein of the work we are to do in translating early Speaker material: “The Speaker manuscripts are in your future, and will involve as I told you considerable work — a labor of love.” See the notes following the 623rd session in Chapter Five. Also consult Chapter Seventeen in Seth Speaks.

[...] Mysteriously, she now took over six minutes to deliver the title for Chapter Seventeen.)

(This took half a page or so, and the session ended at 12:03 a.m. Jane was very surprised at the time involved in delivering the title for Chapter Seventeen. [...]

[...] She was seventeen.

[...] Then I saw the whole thing very clearly, and I said, excited: “She died, at seventeen, there in the cobbler’s shop. [...]

[...] The first Sarah, who died at seventeen, never went. [...]

[...] And Sarah … the first one … if she hadn’t burned to death, she would have died anyhow at seventeen, of tuberculosis. [...]

[...] Or was this distorted?” See the 568th session, in Chapter Seventeen.)

(“Number eleven: In Chapter Seventeen you said it would require more training on Jane’s part before she could deliver a Speaker manuscript, and that even then the work involved could take five years. [...]

(This excerpt from the session contains Seth’s first mention of the Speakers and their functions in the reincarnational process, and supplements the Speaker data in Chapter Seventeen.

(Those who are interested in probabilities can also see chapters Fifteen, Sixteen, and Seventeen in Seth Speaks.)

(Patty enthusiastically told us that Seth’s material on the various stages of consciousness, in the 569th and 570th sessions in Chapter Seventeen, closely agreed with her recent studies. [...]

(In Chapter Seventeen Seth told Jane and me that we’d both been Speakers. [...]

[...] [See the notes for the 619th session in Chapter Four, for instance, or for the 660th session, which bridges chapters Sixteen and Seventeen.]

(2. There are clear connections between the “massive” portions of Jane’s latest psychic adventure and her first encounters with Seth Two in April, 1968; she goes into those experiences in some detail in Chapter Seventeen of The Seth Material. [...]

(Jane’s interest in these possibilities began to grow after I described the 570th session in Chapter Seventeen to her — it will be remembered that Seth suggested I do this — and my progress was accelerated through Patty Middleton’s visit a week later, with her information about alpha states.)

[...] (See sessions 662–63 in Chapter Seventeen.)

Ruburt, at the age of I believe seventeen, began a poem with the line, and if he will forgive me I will quote: “The end overshadows the beginning,” end of quote. [...]

By now, the sessions were running from seventeen to twenty typed, double-spaced pages and they lasted anywhere from two and a half to three hours. [...]

(Seth Two is dealt with at length in Chapter Seventeen of Jane’s book The Seth Material. [...]

Malba insisted that she was the same girl I saw die in Levonshire, England, in my earlier trance, except that her death had taken place when she was fourteen, not seventeen as I had reported. [...]

[...] He’d told us not to worry about this in Chapter Seventeen. [...]

[...] Leonard knows Mr. Ryerson, and said that he did have a daughter, who was he thought possibly about seventeen. [...]
