“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This is the first regular session since May 12. There were many factors behind the long layoff: Jane’s sheer need for rest; problems and questions of our own that we had wanted to deal with, but had put off for a long time; some work with others; a vacation; and the acquisition of several more rooms across the hall from our original apartment. Jane held ESP classes for some of this time, though, and gave a few sessions within that format.

(The session was held in our old bedroom, which, having been cleared out now, is an adjunct to my studio. The additional space we’ve acquired is most welcome.)

(Smiling): And welcome back…. Now give me a moment, and we will begin by resuming our chapter on religion. (Pause.)

(Our discussion at break concerned several other points I thought readers might be interested in: One was the zealot designation Seth applied to Paul. At first I’d thought he was going to say there was a connection between Paul, or Saul, and the Zealots, one of the religious sects the Jewish people had been divided into in Judaea in the first century A.D. The Holy Land was occupied by the Romans then, and Paul was a Jew and a Roman citizen. I’d been reading about these sects recently in a book on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and had been somewhat puzzled by my interest in both the scrolls and the sects; but after hearing Seth tonight I assumed he wasn’t going to say much about these subjects.

We will have a personal session also, and continue with our book. And I missed our private sessions.

(“That’s why I’m having our recorder fixed.”)
