These eight to ten volumes are meant to show Jane’s and my growth—in the most literal way—but always that of my wife, above all else. From the start we felt that if our “psychic” work had value it should be presented as is, within all of its human connotations; not only its great successes, but with its gropings and mistakes, its questions and learnings along the way. Not edited or prettied up, but as is. Real. I still feel that way. These 510 sessions, then, are exact copies from the verbatim transcripts I made in my homemade shorthand while Jane spoke for Seth; I added notes and comments while typing the material after each session. Over half a dozen years we filed the typed sessions in 44 three-ring binders. The sessions in one of the volumes published by Rick are accompanied by my drawings of the objects used in the series of “envelope tests” we conducted, both for ourselves and long-range with a well-known scientist, over some 11 months.

I want to thank so many for their help and reinforcement that it’s unbelievable. How do I thank all of those thousands and thousands who have written, let alone the millions who have bought books and told others about them? All have helped create the living psychic reality within which Jane’s and my work has been nurtured and grown. Our work is really dedicated to one and all, then. I love to hear from readers—even if it does take me forever to answer sometimes. No letter is ever unread or unappreciated. I’ve saved them all from the beginning. Eventually they’re added to the collection of our papers at Yale University Library, while not being open to the public for privacy’s sake.
