“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We missed holding the last two regularly scheduled sessions. Jane’s vocal difficulties have been minimal, but her handwriting hasn’t been too steady as she answered mail and worked on some poetry. After supper tonight she suggested that I get the session notebook ready, although when I joined her in the living room at 8:30 she said she didn’t feel Seth around at all.

Two and a half years ago I wrote in the closing notes for Session 869, in Chapter 10 of Mass Events, that she had finally received from Seth the full title for this book: Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. Mass Events was published eight months ago, and we have been receiving a steady flow of inquiries as to when Dreams will be issued. We’re glad to try to answer questions like that, but our correspondents cover many topics and express many viewpoints—and some are hard for us to handle. As we waited for the session Jane gave me two very long letters she had received yesterday. I felt sad after reading them. We think that both writers express extreme points of view, and that both are much too adulatory of us. To answer one letter would draw its author to our doorstep at once: “I am your Seth,” and: “I will visit you as soon as I hear from you.” The writer of the other letter, while praising our work, is caught up in questions of conventional religion: “I keep wondering over and over again whether Seth is a demon or a deception. What do you have to say about this?” We don’t feel like justifying ourselves.
