“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth reiterated that Jane’s book on the Seth material would be published, and that the poetry book would be published. He did not say who would publish them, and I did not ask. See page 269 of the 232nd session for background material and other references. Jane’s publisher F. Fell, has written asking for photographs pertaining to the Seth book; in connection with this and in answer to my question, Seth said he would be amused to see a reproduction of my painting, purporting to be Seth, in the book. I’d done my oil of Seth in May/June of 1965.

(Today Jane received the galley proofs of her ESP book, along with the original manuscript, from her publisher by special delivery. We noted that most of the typed pages of her script bore handwritten comments in the margins and on the back. They were made evidently either by a psychologist or parapsychologist, probably at the invitation of the publisher before he accepted the book. We had considered this possibility, although the publisher had not mentioned it to us.

(Someone had then laboriously used a magic marker to try to cross out the notes so they couldn’t be read; we were much amused to read them rather easily by holding the pages up to a light. The comments run the gamut from scorn to approval, and tell us as much about their author as they do about Jane’s book. Jane plans to ask her publisher, F. Fell, for the name of the author of the notes, and for a copy of the covering letter he refers to. We have initials. Seth also comments on the events, although we did not ask him to.

(Previous to obtaining the package, Jane spent several hours in a strong state of worry and anticipation, and feels this state was a clairvoyant/telepathic attempt to give her conscious self information concerning the package. She believes her tension prevented her understanding what she was trying to tell herself. Her publisher had not advised her the galleys were on the way, incidentally.

(Jane took another long pause. We had just about decided to finish the book in the above manner. Jane has been thinking over what material to include in the center section so as to maintain reader interest, and some time ago decided to finish the book with what evidential material we have so far. The first section is now in the hands of her publisher.)
