“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Again, this was a short session. Jane and I had grown very used to living with Seth’s production of his book; we had come to look forward to each development. But now… “I almost don’t want to hold the session,” Jane said as we waited for 9:00. “It’s a real funny feeling — almost nostalgic. I can feel — I know — that Seth’s going to end his book soon now, probably tonight, and I don’t want it to happen, I guess.” She’d mentioned such feelings occasionally before, since Seth began work on the last two chapters.)

Now: We will resume dictation. (Now Jane’s pace was rather fast, her voice quiet.)

I titled this chapter “A Goodbye and an Introduction.” The good-bye is my own, since I am now finishing this book. The introduction applies to each reader, for I hope that you will now be able to meet yourself face to face with a greater understanding of who and what you are.

Each reader, however, should in one way or another sense his own vitality in a way quite new to him, and find avenues of expansion opening within himself of which he was earlier unaware. The very nature of this book, the method of its creation and delivery, in themselves should clearly point out the fact that human personality has far more abilities than those usually ascribed to it. By now you should understand that all personalities are not physically materialized. As this book was conceived and written by a nonphysical personality, and then made physical, so do each of you have access to greater abilities and methods of communication than those usually accepted.

Now you may take a break. A well-deserved one.

(9:30. The end of the book seemed to come abruptly even though we were prepared for it. Once out of trance, Jane again expressed her peculiar regret that Seth’s book was done, even though this was what we’d been working for. “What’s he going to do now?” she asked. “I can’t really believe it’s over, you know.”

Now: For your edification:

(10:05. Jane’s pace had speeded up considerably by now.)

Now you may take your break.

Now: He knew that without the wounds, they would not believe he was himself, because they were so convinced that he died with those wounds. (See John 20.) They were to be a method of identification, to be dispensed with when he explained the true circumstances.

Now: I will end our session for the evening. I bid you a fond good evening.

(With a good deal of anticipation and not a little nervousness — Jane now began to read Seth’s book from page one. She was amazed.)
