“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This is the first regular session held since November 24, 1969, although Seth has spoken in ESP class occasionally since then.

(Within the last two weeks Jane delivered the final version of her book, The Seth Material, to Prentice-Hall. They have asked her to do a book on Seth, dreams, and reincarnation.

(Here are some corroborative notes re pages 436-37 of the last session, dealing with our invitation to a party given by Tom Hartley on Saturday, November 29. Seth’s predictions, and Jane’s own data, given at break, were borne out very well. Seth talked about two men connected with me in the past in various ways; I would meet these men at the party. I did meet two such men, and they were together, also as Seth predicted. They are Don Simmons and Pete Tomoski, high school classmates of mine from Sayre, PA; I had not seen them for 33 years [1937]. They are friends, it developed, of Tom Hartley, a fact totally unknown and unexpected by me.

(Both men approached me at the party, at separate times, and introduced themselves; both recognized and called me by name; I did not recognize either of them. Seth could develop this material, since I do not know how one of these men “influenced my life at one time,” etc. Nor was I able to make any connection with the initials or letters given, D A R..

(Pete and Don drove to Elmira from Sayre in one car; “together”, as mentioned by Seth.

(Jane began speaking for Seth in an average voice, with pauses, with her eyes open and very dark much of the time; many and varied gestures, etc.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

The next chapter will relate what experience I have had in all my existences, with those pyramid gestalts of which I speak in the material, and with my own and about my own relationship with the personality you call Seth Two, and with multidimensional consciousnesses far more evolved than I.

(9:50. Jane left trance easily, although it had been a good one. She said she knew from the beginning of the session that Seth was “putting me out deeper.” She knew Seth was talking about his own projected book, and avoided blocking, etc. She hadn’t been using suggestion in an effort to get this material tonight.

(As we talked Jane recalled that yesterday she “had a small glimmer” that she might be ready for Seth’s material on his own book; Jane linked this information up with the recent insights she has been attaining.

(10:29. Again Jane’s trance had been good. Her last pause had been quite long; when I mentioned this Jane said she thought that Seth had been trying to get the title of his book through; at the same time Jane had been In the process of coming out of trance. Again her pace had been slow, her eyes often closed.

This is the title for our book (Smile:)Seth Speaks: (colon) the Eternal Validity of the Soul. I am using the term soul, for it will have instant meaning to most readers. (Long pause.) I suggest you equip yourself with some good pens. Ask our friend Ruburt to kindly mail my outline, on my behalf, to our friend Aerofranz. (Smile.)

I wish you a hearty good evening. My best wishes to you both. I am pleased with our new venture. Now tell Ruburt that this book will in no way interfere with his own writing, neither with the Seth dream book, his novel, nor the poetry which he shall shortly begin again. Good evening.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(10:37. After the trance was over Jane said she hadn’t been trying to think of titles for Seth’s own book, etc., nor had she been speculating about its contents.)
