“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As predicted by Seth in the 420th session for July 1, 1968, Prentice-Hall is to publish the first book on the Seth material. Jane was notified of this over the Xmas holidays, and signed a contract earlier this month. See Volume 8 of this series.

(Seth also said that Jane and I would die within a short time of each other, when our earthly work was finished. No date or sequence was given. Seth said that Jane would publish 5 books on the Seth Material; 3 novels; 3 books of poetry; plus 2 books to be dictated by Seth himself. I do not recall if the dream book, now at Ace, was mentioned; or if others were.[Jane died in 1984. I’m publishing Volume 9 in 2002.]

(Seth was in a particularly good mood this evening, after the long holiday break, and because of the presence of witnesses. Jane entered trance easily and spoke vigorously, rapidly and with much humor. Her eyes opened often. The pace proved to be so fast in the beginning that I soon gave up trying to keep abreast. I also discovered, to my surprise, that I was somewhat rusty at taking notes.

(A reference to Jane’s hair falling over her right eye. She had to keep brushing it back as she spoke.)

(Earlier today Jane had said she thought this development referred to the dream book, now at Ace Publications, and that a sale was quite possible.

(9:30. Jane now took a break, I wished for full notes because of the humor flying about, but had fallen way behind. Seth then returned briefly when John, during break, asked Jane a question related to the causes of gout.)

(Jane’s trance was a good one, she said. Her pace here was quite fast. After a break she resumed as Seth at 9:45.

(10:00. Jane’s trance had again been good, her pace a bit slower but still usually faster than I am used to as far as note-taking goes.

(Peg is planning an interview with Jane for the Elmira Star-Gazette concerning the publication of Jane’s book on the Seth material.)

(Jane took a break at 10:28. Her trance had been good. John Bradley said at first that he knew of nothing he is taking into his system that would encourage fluid retention. He said he very occasionally takes Metamucil, which is inert.

(Jane, during break, began to get impressions from/for Bill Gallagher, and Bill signaled me to take them down. There follows an accurate account of what Jane said, not quite verbatim however.

(11:16. In contrast to earlier breaks, Jane now came out of trance rather quickly. Bill and Peg didn’t particularly want to talk about the data given above, but said it had a direct bearing; something, we were told, about a meeting tomorrow...

(Bill showed Jane a page of pencil drawings he had doodled while Seth spoke. They were heads, in various stylistic poses, small in scale. He told Jane they were not cheerful. After a short discussion Seth returned.)
