“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

For example, I would like to give you some idea of the contents of my own book. Many issues will be involved. The book will include a description of the way in which it is being written; the procedures necessary so that my own ideas can be spoken by Ruburt, or for that matter translated at all, in vocal terms. (Long pause.)

I do not have a physical body, and yet I will be writing a book. The first chapter will explain how and why.

I will tell the reader how he sees what he sees, or hears what he hears, and why. I hope to show through the entire book that the reader himself is independent of his physical image; and I hope, myself, to give him some methods that will prove my thesis to him.

(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.

Now this is my outline for the book, and contains merely a sketch of my intentions. I am not giving a fuller outline, for I do not want Ruburt to anticipate me. The difficulties involved in such communications will be given thoroughly. It will be made clear that so-called paranormal communications come from various levels of reality, and that those communications describe the reality in which they exist. So I will describe mine, and others of which I have knowledge.

This is not to say that other dimensions do not exist of which I am ignorant. I will dictate the book during our sessions. (Long pause.) You may take a break and I will briefly continue.

(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.

(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.)
