“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On the evening of February 2, during the 229th session, Seth said: “You will get no appreciable amount of snow, I believe for ten days or so...” See page 254. Seth was correct. Indeed, we began to receive our first appreciable snow within three hours after the ten days were up. This was a very heavy wet snow that began shortly before 1 AM Sunday, February 13; it continued until dawn, accumulating about an inch, then turned into a very heavy soaking rain that lasted all day Sunday and on into the night. Jane and I were quite conscious of the prediction Sunday because we had to be traveling. I had been keeping track of it in the meantime, however, and noted that we received a few very light dustings of snow during the ten day interim. Actually, the weather has been so warm that most of the heavy snow received two weeks ago has melted.

(Saturday night, February 12, Jane had a vivid dream that she believes to be significant, and hoped Seth would discuss it this evening. It is included later in the session.

(The session was held in our front room. All windows were shut tightly, and the traffic noise was not a problem, although it was audible to some degree. Jane began speaking while sitting down, at 9:01. Her eyes were almost immediately open. Today was Valentine’s Day. Jane had been in a good mood, and so was Seth. Jane smiled broadly as she opened the session.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth began to talk about the simultaneity of basic reality in the 41st session, which dealt with the spacious present. see Volume 1.)

(For an idea of the complexity implied here,in Volume 3 see the 88th session, in which Seth goes into the structure of the subconscious to some degree.)

(In the 222nd session Seth asked Jane not to smoke during tests. Sometimes seriously but more often humorously, he has gone into the reasons behind Jane’s smoking in these sessions: 31, 32, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 222.

(Seth has mentioned psychic gestalts before, and has given bits and pieces of information on them, along with data on the general heading of the God concept, in these sessions: 31, 66, 81, 95, 96, 97, 146, 147, 149, 135, 151, etc.

(I read the data to her before she opened the envelope. Jane pointed out three instances in it where she had personal associations with Seth’s data, and as it turned out all three would have been in error had she voiced them.

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 278. As stated, the object is the front page of the announcement of the marriage of my brother Loren’s daughter, Linda, to Dennis Murray of Brooklyn, NY. Once again Seth goes over the data with us, so immediately below is listed, first, the connections Jane and I made ourselves.

(“An initiation, and a bringing together of fragments.” We thought this of course a reference to Linda’s marriage. The use of the word fragments here, by Seth, led us to think that reincarnational motives might be involved in the marriage; but I did not think to quiz Seth about this when he resumed. In the very early sessions Seth began to use fragment as a reference to each physical personality manifested by the entity.

(“A connection with something twice” is another quite accurate reference by Seth to personal matters involving Linda, and data on this are withheld here for the same reason announced above. The three pieces of data that are not explained in this experiment are the best, incidentally, that Seth gave in connection with the object.

(We were discussing the data when Seth resumed. The first couple of sentences of his discussion concerned the three items noted above. He seemed in the mood to continue for a while, and to discuss the envelope data, so I began to ask questions. Jane resumed with her glasses on, and with her eyes opening occasionally, at 10:40.)

(Here now Seth elaborated further on the three points not explained: Too many too soon; November six three; and A connection with something twice.

(I did not write it down earlier, but we thought Seth had referred to the home of my parents and the house next door. The connection is far-out: My brother, father of the Protestant bride who married a Catholic, was at my parents’ home Sunday; the people who live next door are Catholic.

(See the 204th session, page 39. In this case Seth used the method to pinpoint a raise John received from his company.)

(As mentioned in the notes for the 232nd session, page 269, Fate Magazine wrote Jane concerning an article on the envelope experiments. She has now written the first draft for the article. We suppose Seth’s rather cryptic note above means the article will sell if Jane sticks to the way she has planned.

(There follows a copy of Jane’s dream of Saturday, February 12, as taken from her dream notebook. Jane believes the dream to be a significant one, and had hoped Seth would discuss it this evening:

(The term made me wonder if Seth referred to another physical life for Jane; in the past he has reiterated that our present physical lives are the last for both of us.

(We are not sure whether Seth refers to the publication of Jane’s ESP book, or perhaps the start of another in some fashion. The ESP book is due May 16; Jane’s birthday is May 8. Also, Seth and I are mentioned often in the book. Jane was speaking rather rapidly now, and I did not think to interrupt and ask Seth to clear up this point. She is 38. I am 47.)

(“Yes. Good night, Seth.”
