“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:30 this evening I finished typing Monday’s short session [for the 8th]. I’d forgotten to do it last night, so absorbed was I in working on the copy-edited Mass Events. Then I made a surprising discovery as I put the session in private notebook number 23 — for there I found my original shorthand notes for the September 3 session. I’d also forgotten to type that one, and for the same reason, evidently. I believe that’s the first time in well over a thousand sessions that I’ve forgotten to type one. I’ve deliberately let a few go for a while because I was busy on other things, but haven’t simply forgotten any.

(I also told her something I’d thought about this afternoon, and had a bit of trouble expressing now. But these sessions, dealing with Jane’s improvements, validate the Seth material as it’s come to us over the years. This has a drawback, of course, in that we have no official evidence of her “symptoms” on the medical record. However, we do have the testimony of many who know us, plus years of sessions on record, plus our own memories. [Others, I’ve often speculated, couldn’t realize the depth of Jane’s challenges.] As we talked, Jane laughed and said she picked up from Seth that “the best books are yet to come.”)
