“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We waited over 20 minutes for the session to start. Several times Jane remarked: “The delay seems real odd….” But Seth continued with his material on the behavior of our species, even while bringing Psyche to a close.)

(“Will it?” I tried to egg Seth on a bit. The session hadn’t been underway long before I’d realized he was bringing Psyche to a close. Even Jane’s voice, speaking for him, had been somehow indicative of a summing-up.)

(Our cat, Willy Two — or Billy — had been sleeping beside me on the couch. Waking up now, he stretched, jumped down, then up into Jane’s lap as she spoke for Seth. Billy sat facing her. I laid my notebook aside and picked him up. Seth spoke as I carried the cat to the cellar door.)

(“Yes.” As soon as I sat down again, Seth finished the sentence he’d begun before Billy’s interruption.)

(“Thank you very much, Seth. Good night.”

(As can be seen by Seth’s comments about the mass world mind-brain, he was all ready to launch into some new material. And though he mentioned a new book, Jane and I had no idea that he’d begin one within a few weeks’ time — yet that’s exactly what happened.

(Volume I of “Unknown” Reality came out in the fall of 1977 — and by then Seth was well into his latest, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, even though this book, Psyche, hadn’t yet been typed for publication. I was still working on the notes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.

(Jane’s writing on William James also developed into a book: The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher. So during Seth’s dictation of this present manuscript, she produced on her own the Cézanne and James books. Surely all of the creativity cited in this note is the “proof of the pudding,” then — evidence of the psyche’s richness and abilities. Jane displays those attributes in her own way, of course, yet their equivalents are inherent in each of us, waiting to be used.)
