“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session Jane and I went over the questions remaining on the list we had prepared for Chapter Twenty. “I hope Seth will just do those chapters on religion and reincarnation, and get them over with,” she said. We’ve realized for some time that Jane is sensitive to those subjects, particularly religion; she had strict training in that field as a youngster. Coupled with that, however, she developed a very strong, literal, religious drive on her own. She is well aware that such an early environment leaves its marks, even though she had left her church by the time she was nineteen….

(Somewhat to my surprise Seth started Chapter Twenty-one this evening, but I soon realized that he wasn’t leaving our questions behind. The session was held in my studio again, and because of its rather small size Jane decided not to smoke. It had been raining all day, and still was.)

(Pause at 9:45. The above paragraph is, incidentally, an excellent little description of the results flowing from Jane’s own psychic initiation in September, 1963. Her transcendent experience led to her manuscript, The Physical Universe as Idea Construction, which in turn led to these sessions. See her Introduction to this book.

(A note: I was amused, now, to see Jane light a cigarette while she was in trance.)

(10:25. Following break, Seth-Jane delivered five excellent pages of data about my painting and related subjects. The session ended at 11:03 P.M.

(Jane, knowing Seth had started his chapter on religion, was both relieved and very curious. I finally ended up giving her a copy of the material, in order to answer all of her questions. She liked it so much that she read it to ESP class, as she has done with a few previous segments from the book.)
