[...] The acceptance from another writer, simply on that level alone, was important: But the meeting with someone who also shared psychic and writing ability was vital.

[...] He knew Pete (Stersky, a member of Jane’s ESP class) who was then a dancer, a woman.

[...] There are other connections with this life, in which Ruburt chose a woman for his mother who was helpless. [...]

Now the woman who was his mother this time had a connection with another leader—I am trying not to get distortions in here; you may have to check some of this later—I believe Charlemagne, and Ruburt slew him in battle, after he was first crippled. [...]

[...] Someone who worked had to keep at the job. [...] Someone who worked had to inhibit such impulses.

[...] Now this morning at the table he suddenly realized why he did not want to get up this morning, and why at other times he did not want to get up: he did not want to go to work, like a child who does to want to go to school. [...]

[...] At the same time other activities became taboo as not-work, so it was “wrong” to putter about the house in his work hours, and equally wrong to work after hours, when people who worked should be free.

[...] Leonard Yaudes has a girlfriend who has a dog; occasionally they leave the dog in Leonard’s apartment when they go out on a date.

[...] The man, who was also planning to attend the VFW affair later that evening, gave Jane and me a free ticket.

[...] When communications take place between a survival personality and a personality who exists within the physical system, then this involves a reshuffling, again, on the part of the survival personality, where the ego is momentarily given greater reign.

[...] If it did not occur, then in most cases communication would not be possible, simply because the survival personality would have such difficulty in impressing the personality who was still ego-oriented within the physical system.

The boy who delivered the message in Ruburt’s dream was partially a dream construction, representing a George Pilotte Junior, with whom Ruburt felt an affinity in early life; a relative, a cousin who is also psychically connected with Ruburt’s mother, and who is subconsciously connected in Ruburt’s mind with the death of his grandfather, since the boy, who is now a man, was kind to Ruburt at that time.

Last night’s dream was a communication from the Helen who was the friend of Ruburt’s mother. [...] The envelope, the black envelope, was obviously a symbol, but it did enable Ruburt to see the name of the woman who was sending the message. [...]

(4th Question: Who is the other man referred to besides myself? [...] I had been hoping Seth, or Jane, might come up with Caroline Keck’s husband, Sheldon, or her son Larry, who is named on the object itself. [...]

(“Who does JB refer to?”)

(“Who is the other man referred to besides myself?”)

(2nd Question: Who does JB refer to? [...]

However, for every scientist bold enough to think this way, there are scores of others who vehemently disagree. [...] They derisively call their rebellious colleagues “animists”—those who believe that all life forms and natural phenomena have a spiritual origin independent of physical matter. [...]

[...] As far as we know, human beings are the only creatures on earth who would seriously engage in such learned, futile behavior. [...] To which, understandably enough, those scientists who do accept the reality of mind reply that neither can the idea be falsified that only what is “physical” is real.

Then tonight she began writing “a fun thing” about our cats, Billy and Mitzi, who are brother and sister just 10 months old now: “In the beginning, Billy and Mitzi weren’t even kittens yet, but only bits of sky and cloud that wanted to be pussycats. [...]

[...] For reasons too complicated to go into here, this attitude prevails even with some mathematicians who seek to penetrate to the core of our reality as they understand it.

[...] Now I want you to give that feeling freedom to expand, to change into another feeling, for there is for each of you at least one other individual in a parallel existence who is conducting the same experiment that you are conducting now. [...]

[...] Tell yourself before you go to bed that you can do it and then those of you who do stuff during the week, try to do it consciously using the same way we did it tonight. [...]

[...] It’s also one that may startle those who are used to quiet and proper “spirit guides.”

This does not mean, my dear young friend, that you need to go about speaking [the word] to those who do not like it, and saying “Fuck you.” [...]

[...] And I, who have died more times than I care to tell, write this book to tell you so.)

[...] Therefore I would not communicate as a male personality who has lived many physical existences, though this is a legitimate and valid portion of my identity.

[...] I share my field of existence with others who have more or less the same challenges to meet, the same overall pattern of development. [...]

[...] Jane said okay — after 8:00 p.m. I told Jane I hadn’t even had time to tell her of my impression before the woman — who perhaps was a volunteer answering the phone — came to us. [...]

[...] The woman who sent it wanted Jane to write the founder of a Seth group in Syracuse; the lady is dying of cancer. [...]

There are innumerable ways of reclaiming joy in living, however, and in so doing (long pause) physical health may be reclaimed by those who have found it lacking in their experience.

A man who makes a statue uses his conscious mind, his creative abilities, his physical body, and the inner resources of his own being.

[...] If you read books in which you are told that a certain object always represents such and such, then you are like the artist who accepts the critic’s idea of the symbols in his own work. [...]

[...] So, in the barrage of mass ideas to the opposite, those who try to allow themselves the benefit of their own innate healing must usually face the stress of wondering whether or not they are right.

Elements, chemicals, cells, atoms and molecules — these partially compose your living sculpture, but you are the one who directs their activity through your conscious beliefs, which then initiate all of those great creative powers that give your body its life, and insure its constant reflection of the self that you believe you are.

[...] So is the man who wrote the book (Powers of Mind)—Adam Smith—interpreting in the only way he could for others who will later be led to read other books—that is, he helps awaken hunger.

[...] It will be a source book for all of those who try to understand the self as it operates consciously and unconsciously. [...]

[...] Instead, all of those who read the books change themselves to some extent, look upon reality in a different way, and extend the frontiers of the private mind.

[...] The Moslem militants released 13 of our citizens—5 white women and 8 black men—who returned home by Thanksgiving Day, but this time they kept in bondage the remaining 53 Americans. [...]

[...] [Your] world did not just come together, mindless atoms forming here and there, elements coalescing from brainless gases—nor was the world, again, created by some distant objectified God who created it part by part as in some cosmic assembly line. [...]

D. Zeus was the supreme god of the ancient Greeks, who worshipped him in connection with almost every facet of daily life. [...]

[...] While at the bank yesterday noon I met Wanda, a nurse who worked in the office of a doctor I’d seen some years ago for an ear problem. [...]

[...] Frank, who was away, had returned, and would visit that day. [...]

[...] Frank, who was expected at noon, did not come until later, because unconsciously he was also aware that something of that nature was occurring. [...]

[...] You both had exaggerated ideas, or distorted ones, about the nature of creativity, and about people who were creative, and you considered yourselves rightly as creative people.

[...] Experiences — both personal and global — will come into the perception of a person who holds this belief, that will only serve to deepen it further.

[...] Now a person who holds such an idea will ordinarily not recognize it as an invisible belief. [...]

[...] The person who accepts it completely, though, will be wealthy and in excellent health, and everything will fit in quite well with his beliefs. [...]

[...] While you believe that you become ill because of viruses, infections or accidents, then you must go to doctors who operate within that system of belief. [...]

[...] The consecutive method, from the early sessions through, will appeal to those who have little knowledge of such affairs, and will serve to let them (smile) get their feet wet, bringing them this time into the stream little by little.

[...] There are those however who are ready for headier stuff. [...]

[...] For if you will forgive me, the material is much more significant because it is backed up (deeper voice) by someone who is no longer within your system.

Knowledge does not exist independently of the one who knows. [...]

A few day’s later, I received a long distance call at home from a woman who told me that Seth’s appearance on the “Today’s Woman Show” convinced her of life after death, though she had never believed in it before. [...] Since then, we have received many calls, letters and visits from people who saw that show. [...]

[...] Though my eyes are wide open, it is Seth who looks out and smiles at Rob; Seth who speaks through my lips, discussing the nature of reality and existence from the viewpoint of someone not confined to the three-dimensional world.

[...] My husband, Rob, and I sat with Sonja Carlson and Jack Cole, who were interviewing us on the Boston “Today’s Woman Show” on television station WBZ. [...]

As he began the interview, Jack Cole told the unseen audience that I was a medium who spoke for a personality called Seth. [...]

[...] As much of it as possible should be read by any who may become interested. [...]

[...] I am the one who asked the questions.

(“Who did Ted marry?”)

(“Who is your teacher on your plane?”)

(This afternoon John Bradley, our friend from Williamsport, PA, who has been a witness several times now, stopped and asked if he could be a witness for tonight’s session; he also had some information on how to obtain some extra copies of this material. [...]

[...] Now John wondered if the Seth mentioned in the 3rd session, page 18, was the same Seth who is now giving us the material.

[...] I have said that all the entities who would ever dwell upon your plane did exist, and actually have a hand in on the creation of your planet, that would ever dwell upon it.

[...] In fact, you have an old superstition in some parts of your own country, that a man is not truly dead until everyone who ever knew him is dead. [...]

[...] She went to Andy Colucci, a dentist (and friend) who had his office around the corner from where we lived on West Water Street for routine cleaning (she had perfect teeth); and on rare occasions one or both of us visited Sam Levine, a doctor who had his office on the ground floor of his building next-door to 458. [...] Doctor Sam was a very kind but reserved Jewish doctor who helped many people on a daily basis. [...]

[...] I know I’m in good company with the many who have been and who are nourished by their works. [...]

[...] Sometimes I think I’m a slow learner: It took me a while to realize, for example, that the responses to the Seth material by mail and in person—and now electronically—are actually myriad extensions of that work, showing in all of their varieties the questions and answers it’s raised and the beneficial effects it’s had on the many who have communicated since Jane held her first real session on December 2, 1963—and on those who still do. [...]

We’d borrowed the board from our landlord, James Spaziani, who hadn’t had any success using it with his family. [...] Jimmy (long deceased) was a kind and outgoing landlord and restaurateur who lived with his wife and three children on the second floor of the old converted horse barn and carriage house in back of the apartment house he owned at 458 West Water Street, where Jane and I lived.
