“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause at 10:06. Our cat, Willy, had been sick so we’d kept him with us during the session. Waking up now, he strolled over to Jane as she sat in her rocker speaking for Seth. He crouched, preparing to spring up into her lap. I called him; whereupon he chose to curl up beside me on the couch instead.

(Jane remained in trance. Later, she told me, Seth waited with “affectionate amusement” for the episode to resolve itself.)

I am also journeying. What information and knowledge I have I try to give to you through Ruburt and Joseph (pause), who are parts of me in your space and time. But they are themselves as I am myself.

(10:17. Jane’s trance had been good, her delivery even and rather quiet. “You know,” she said, “I thought this book was going to go longer, but I’ve got the funny nostalgic feeling that Seth’s going to end it real soon. I’ve got the shivers. I don’t know about you,” she laughed, “but I’d like to see it last another five chapters…. I felt the same way about Seth Speaks; the end always shocks me.” I told her that I thought Seth would close out the book tonight. I joked that we could ask for the title of his next one. “Oh, he’s got them stacked up to here,” and Jane patted the top of her head.

(A note pertaining to the material given just before break: In Chapter Nineteen Seth deals with reincarnation in a general sense, but he’s said little in this book about his psychic “connections” with Jane and me. There are references to such ties scattered through The Seth Material and Seth Speaks [see the 595th session in the Appendix of the latter] and we have a modest amount of unpublished information. But to explore the ramifications of reincarnation just as it involves the three of us, for example, would take a book in itself….

(11:14. “Thank you. I think it’s very good,” I said. Seth-Jane stared at me quite soberly.)

(“— but I can’t believe it’s over!” she said once again. “As far as I’m concerned the whole thing was effortless. It just came out of me, it seemed, while I was busy doing other things….” Which, while true, hardly considers her deep emotional and intellectual involvement with the book for the last ten months — or since Seth took up steady dictation on September 11, 1972, following the extensive delay caused by Tropical Storm Agnes.
