“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has not been experimenting with psychological time since Seth suggested she stop at the time of her prolonged trance state of March 15.

(Lying in bed in a drowsy state last night, Jane received the following items, she believes from Seth. She woke me to tell me about them:

(Also about my illness: Seth doesn’t like to give warnings of future events, particularly when they may be only strong possibilities, yet avoidable. In these cases the suggestion itself could, under some conditions, bring the events about.

(About the subconscious: According to Freud the subconscious is often held to blame for present ego difficulties. This is not so in many cases—the real trouble being that the present ego did not assimilate the subconscious experience. Seth has discussed Freud and Jung to some extent, in the 83rd and 119th sessions, among others.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth has discussed this inner comprehension and physical illness in the 98th, 99th and 120th sessions, among others.)

(Just before tonight’s session I told Jane I hoped Seth would clear this matter up. See the 133rd and the 135th sessions. The 133rd session also contains a list of previous sessions in which Seth has dealt with Miss Callahan to varying degrees. Miss Callahan, a retired schoolteacher, was also acquainted with Frank Watts. It was Jane’s initial contact with the Frank Watts personality, through the Ouija board, that led to these sessions. F. Watts has been dead perhaps twenty years, and is one of the personalities making up the Seth entity.

(Our host of visitors during my illness was another subject we’d hoped Seth would discuss this evening. From March 24 to April 2, Jane and I received a total of 21 visits from 16 different individuals. Of these 16, 7 had witnessed sessions. Some of the visits lasted for hours and left Jane very tired.

(Sonja bought a painting from me on November 18, 1964, and is mentioned by Seth in the 108th session of that date. Louis witnessed the 89th session, held in Rochester, NY, and was also discussed by Seth in the 90th session. Another visitor that first day was Jim Beckett, who witnessed the 47th and 49th sessions. Thus Jim and Louis were the two neutral visitors referred to by Seth.

(Philip of course is the entity name for John Bradley, who has witnessed several sessions. While visiting us on the second day of my illness, John said that events transpiring within the drug firm he represents, Searle, appear to bear out predictions made by Seth some time ago. Seth had mentioned a time limit of several years for some of these predictions to work themselves out, and counseled patience on John’s part. See the 37th session, of March 23,1964, and the 70th session, of July 13,1964, among others.

(“Good night, Seth.”

(Jane had told me that during my illness she hadn’t felt Seth around. There were times during my illness when I had an actual feeling of disbelief at the steady parade of visitors. I did not see them all. I soon became aware that I felt better after talking to the ones I did see, and once I realized this I rather deliberately tried to capitalize upon this apparent exchange of energy. Sonja Carlson visited us twice; almost at once I understood the negative character of her thoughts, and decided not to let it bother me. I was concerned about Jane bearing the brunt of this, however.)
