“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 591, AUGUST 11, 1971,
9:03 P.M. WEDNESDAY

(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.)

(“We’ll just have to wait and see,” I replied. We made various joking remarks about what would come next in the sessions, but I could see that Jane didn’t really feel humorous. Actually, Seth’s own book contained so many ideas for future sessions that our problem would be what to explore first — and we would have the unaccustomed opportunity to carry out these studies at our leisure.

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

We will have a private session next time.

Seth devoted three full sessions and portions of two others to this Appendix. It includes additional information on several topics already mentioned in the book proper, such as coordination points, biblical times and records, objects as symbols, reincarnation, and expansion of consciousness. Sessions 592 and 594 are particularly intriguing in that events occurring during the sessions highlighted and illustrated the dictated material.

We also added portions of six other sessions. Five are class sessions; one is included because it is relevant to the discussion on after-life organization in Chapter Nine. Another contains an excellent description of true spirituality. In the remaining class excerpts, Seth answers questions that readers might also have in mind.

These sessions also show Seth as he relates to others in personal contact. To an engineer he gives an explanation of the pulsations of atoms, discusses mental health with a nurse and aggression with a minister — all class members. The sixth presentation is from a session held for a student in which Seth mentioned the Speakers for the first time.
