“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Recently Jane sent her dream book to Prentice-Hall. An editor rejected the book but wrote a very encouraging letter concerning the publication of the Seth material. Since we were somewhat confused as to what course to follow, a session was held this evening.

(Jane began speaking in a good trance at a somewhat slower pace than usual, and her eyes did not open as much as usual.)

(Before this evening’s session I had said that publication of the Seth material could help many more people than Jane [called Ruburt by Seth] could help personally in her ESP classes, and that too much energy expended in the classes took away from that available for the theoretical material available to us in our regular twice-weekly sessions. I had also said that now that her ESP students were quite used to Seth speaking during classes, the absence of this would be resented by them.)

(9:40—Jane sat quietly without opening her eyes, then said: “He was saying that I don’t have to use other people’s paraphernalia.” She slowly came out of trance, and briefly seemed about to cry. But this passed. Both of us, correctly it developed, attributed the crying feeling to regret at some of our past efforts that were not as successful as we had hoped they would be, regarding using the material to help others, to get it published, etc.

(Jane resumed in the same active manner, but with pauses, at 10:55.)

Many, or any of the books, Montgomery comes to mind. Any of the leading psychic books of the day that were, again in quotes, “spiritualistically inclined”, for the term itself is misleading. It means something to him (Jane)—he will know what I mean. “Many lifetimes…” (by Kelsey and Grant) does not apply here.

Give us a moment. (Her eyes open, Jane picked up the letter from Prentice-Hall briefly.) This is the direction toward which you should move. (Now Jane touched the carbon copy of the manuscript of her dream book.) The energy in this book was not wasted. It was not used as wisely as it could have been. What is preserved of it will be in exact proportion to the amount of perception Ruburt had as to the direction in which it should move.

(Again Jane picked up the letter from Prentice-Hall.) The material in the dream book should be utilized here.

Take your vacation. (Pause.) Give him physical activity then. Stay away from his mother until I tell you. He does not have to prove he is all saintly yet. The time will come. (Our cat Willy jumped up into Jane’s lap.) Psycho-Cybernetics was good for him, for it stopped at least some of his conscious brooding. He must rediscover however his spontaneous self for these distorted and adopted and superficial ideas—underline superficial—of religious rules inhibited him.

(“To hear that Jane has such fears about her thoughts.”)

(10:55. Once again Jane’s trance had been a good one. She came out of it all right, if slowly, however. Once again she seemed about to cry, but did not. She did not remember what she had said, but had a feeling of sadness. She said she thought tonight’s material would be very helpful.)
