“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:01.) You must begin to trust yourself sometime. I suggest you do it now. If you do not then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time resenting those from whom you seek such aid. It will seem to you that their experience is legitimate and yours counterfeit. You will feel shortchanged.

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.

They might have felt that they had lost direction at times. For certain periods they might have had problems in which they forgot their aims momentarily, and yet their beliefs in themselves individually and together were strong enough to give them their present reality.

(11:16 p.m. Jane’s final book delivery had been quiet most of the time, and steady as usual. She was both surprised — as she remarked several times — and a bit disconsolate now that Seth’s part of the long project was through. Just a week ago she’d finished the first draft of her Introduction, so that too is underway. She had no feeling any more that Seth would do an Appendix, as we’d speculated about occasionally.

(A subsequent note, with some references: Seth’s closing remark about other books of Jane’s proved to be quite accurate. Even as we prepared this manuscript for the printer, two more of her works, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time, and Aspect Psychology, were contracted for publication by Prentice-Hall. Portions of each one are dealt with in these chapters, and Jane also discusses them in her Introduction. I am to illustrate both.

(Dialogues, a book of poetry, is described in the 639th session in Chapter Ten. Aspect Psychology, Jane’s own theoretical work on psychic matters, is referred to in the 618th session in Chapter Three, among others. It was born out of her writings on Adventures in Consciousness, as mentioned in Chapter Twenty-one of Seth Speaks, and incorporates that material.)
