“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We sat for the session at 8:45. Jane has been feeling considerably better: “My backside feels 75% better,” she said again now. I’m back working on the chronology for Seth’s latest book, Dreams, and have been doing some paintings involving my own dreams. Jane has done excellent work interpreting the dreams; some of my nighttime excursions have resulted from these sessions on the magical approach.

(Now to my surprise, Seth answered a question or two I’d asked Jane earlier today to relay to Sue Watkins — material I could use in my chronology for Dreams. Sue had recently given me some information, and my latest questions are extensions of those.)

(10:08 P.M. Even though it was a shorter session, Jane’s delivery had often been intent and emphatic. A good session, I told her. It’s the next night as I type the session, of course. Today I sent Sue a copy of a recent page of Seth’s material on the intellect, and a list of the questions about George that Seth discussed above. I expect her answers to tally with Seth’s.

(Jane spent more time than usual in bed today, laying down in between her working stints.)

3. Tam Mossman was the editor at Prentice-Hall for both Jane and Sue. Conversations With Seth is Sue’s fine two-volume account of the ESP classes Jane held from September 1967 to February 1975. Tam’s enthusiastic and intuitive help was always invaluable to Jane, ever since he encouraged her to publish her first book, The Seth Material, in 1970.

Artist George Rhoads also attended ESP class. To Seth, George and Jane and Sue and I are “counterparts” — entities psychically connected to each other, and to other men, women, and children alive now in this country and in others. The connections can be conscious, unconscious, or both. Many of us will never meet physically, but as a group all of us are exploring related lifetime themes in ways that no individual can do.

Obviously, some ESP class members met counterparts in class. But I know that I’ve also met a counterpart outside of class, and later in life: Laurel Lee Davies, the beautiful young lady from Iowa who’s been my loving companion for some years now, following Jane’s death in 1984. Laurel is helping greatly as we put The Magical Approach together. She is doing invaluable work as a research and editorial assistant; studying Jane’s notebooks, journals, and poetry, and putting together material from those sources to be included in this book. She has also been working with and choosing the published and unpublished Seth sessions for The Magical Approach. Laurel moved here in 1985 with us having that job for her in mind. I feel that Laurel’s and my relationship is a clear case in which a long-standing “unknown” counterpart connection came into our consciousnesses when we were ready for it to, and that eventually it led to our meeting. Laurel has been involved with Jane’s, Seth’s, and my work since November of 1979, when she was 24 years old. Her boyfriend recommended Seth Speaks to her. Although he did not believe in metaphysical realities, he had heard the book was the best of it’s kind, and they found it in a used-book store in Seattle, Washington. Laurel began writing to Jane and me in 1980 — while Seth was dictating The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events and Jane was writing her God of Jane. What interesting timing.…
