“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 630, DECEMBER 11, 1972
9:26 P.M. MONDAY

(Jane and I sat for the session at about 9:15. At 9:25 she abruptly told me that she’d just “received” the title of a book I am to write: Through My Eyes. She was very surprised — and so was I. At first, Jane said, she interpreted her information [from Seth?] to mean that I would be writing a chapter with that title for one of her own books. But then she quickly realized that this is to be a work of my own.

(It’s supposed to express my views of the Seth experience, and how it has influenced or changed my ideas on art, life, and so forth. Then, as Jane told me about all of this, she announced that Seth was coming through right away — a most unusual procedure as far as our regular sessions are concerned. She took off her glasses….)

The book can include some of the material I have given you on art through various channels, and how you have applied it. This work can be followed by one utilizing sessions concerned with art mainly but covering some other artistic areas as well, such as the nature and origin of inspirations.

(“I’m really surprised when something like this happens to me in a session,” Jane said. “It’s so different from what I’ve been thinking about, or doing. I can see a center section of the book right now, with your illustrations. And I can see Seth’s portrait on the back cover.” She pointed over her right shoulder to where the painting — which is reproduced in The Seth Material — hangs on our living room wall just in back of her rocker.

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.

(Pause at 10:01. Our telephone began to ring. The sound penetrated the two closed doors between Jane’s study and the living room, where we were. I disliked interrupting the session so I let it ring — feeling uneasy all the while. Jane, in trance, seemed not to hear it.

(10:27. Jane’s pace had been good. This was the end of book work. After break Seth delivered two pages of data for Jane and me, and the session ended at 11:01 p.m.)
