“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“Seth used Session 909 as a bridge between chapters 6 and 7 in Dreams. This means that now the session serves as a connective—a very effective lure, say—between volumes 1 and 2. Indeed, in retrospect it almost seems as though Seth, that ‘energy personality essence,’ planned it that way! And Jane and I look forward with intense interest to the final version of Dreams, for as always this work will be as revealing and educational for us as it will be for anybody else. I thank each reader for his or her patience in accepting the publication of Dreams in two volumes.”

Some of my descriptive passages in Dreams as I deal with Jane’s personal challenges are harrowing; they strike at the very heart of our fears of illness and disability, and even death, leading us to consciously face those possibilities while at the same time they perfectly mirror our equally profound inner needs and drives. In Dreams I’m presenting the account of Jane’s struggles with her “physical symptoms” in the clearest light I can manage. I’m also demanding the very best insight, an excellence of understanding, from each reader, even though it may not be easy to summon those qualities. But in my opinion they’re vital for understanding what the Seth material is all about.

I learned long ago that Jane’s great creative abilities are so intimately bound up with her personal challenges that they’re inseparable. Neither of us were ever interested in turning out a series of just “psychic books” per se, devoid of all of those human and intimate details that are piling up during our lifetimes, enriching the moments and the days, the weeks and the years, creating the seamless wholes of our lives. I also believe that in ordinary terms each living entity on earth employs such a process of enrichment, tailoring it for its unique, individual purposes. Obviously, in larger terms Jane and I believe that the earth—indeed, the universe itself—is alive.

In her own creative way, Jane is doing just this; her physical symptoms are the signposts of her personal struggle, and of mine, and of our joint incomplete knowledge. With her successes and failures Jane leads the way for many, even while she and I keep trying to learn more. Yet it’s an exceedingly lonely journey that my wife is taking, even with my help. The varieties of consciousness springing out of this global healing process must literally be without end—always creative, always forward looking.
