“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session tonight Jane and I discussed the excellent manner in which Seth was able to relate to the various people who have witnessed sessions. This ability escaped us for some time, until we finally realized the various approaches used by Seth to make the material given meaningful to the very different personalities involved.)

(Before the session I told Jane, half jokingly, that she should publish a Seth Reader, said volume to contain Seth material on many subjects, presented in a rather more simplified way.)

(A couple of days ago we began to collect the sessions given by Seth in Jane’s ESP class in a separate category. This work, just beginning, gave rise to the idea for a Seth Reader, etc.)

(The phone rang at 9:35 and interrupted Seth’s delivery. Jane herself answered the call before I could do so. The call nicely pointed up the material for the session given above, re making it known to others, etc; the call was from a prospective ESP class member.

(Jane resumed in the same fast, active, eyes-open manner, with a good amount of emphasis, at 9:53.)

(Yesterday, Tuesday, Seth spoke over the telephone for the first time. The occasion took place during a call from Tam, in New York City, to Jane in Elmira, at about 9:30 PM, and lasted at the most perhaps five minutes.

(Tam has written Jane a letter covering the above episode; the letter will go into our files, etc.)

(Jane had requested that Seth communicate with her during a dream, and that she remember the dream. Next morning however she could only recall that such a dream had taken place; no details appeared.)

(Here Seth refers to preparations I am making to paint a larger, 3/4-length portrait. Jane has seen a pen and ink drawing I did recently, which is the basis for the painting.

(A note: After the session Jane told me that she knew what Seth was going to tell me when I had finished the painting under discussion. I asked Jane just how she knew this; was Seth telling me one thing, and Jane another; did Jane divine the information from Seth as he spoke through her, or what? We can learn more about this later; this is the first time we have been aware of information being given and received in just this manner, though it may have happened before. But as Seth told me about the painting Jane knew what he was to tell me.)

One note before I close. The Saturday-night excursions, regardless of your activities, are necessary and beneficial. Sundays, if you do not go to your mother’s, then the two of you should at least for an hour or so also leave the apartment, if only for a walk or ride. (My mother lives. Jane’s has died.)

(10:44. Jane left trance quickly. She said Seth could have continued for an hour, etc., in his excellent mood. His presence had been immediate this evening.
