“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For the first time in a very long while, most of last week’s mail remains unanswered—sitting in the basket on the table at the end of the couch. Another batch of letters arrived from Prentice-Hall today, adding to the pile. Some of the letters are great, others very depressing. In other words, they range over the usual human situations we encounter. One even took us to task for “obscenities” in Volume 2 of “Unknown.” Jane and I have been talking about how best to deal with the implications of the mail—it often bothers her—but haven’t reached any conclusions. There may not be any simple one way to handle the situation. I ask a question or two about it in my list of questions for Seth.

(Yes, I’ve started my famous list of questions for that “personality energy essence;” it’s based on this latest group of private sessions, that began on February 4, 1981. Jane has read the first two pages of questions. A few may contain new insights into our challenges. Next comes my list of “pithy quotations” from the same group of sessions—positive statements from Seth [usually] that we can quickly review. I can already see that both lists could be almost endless....

(At 9:00 she told me she thought Seth would discuss my questions #5 and 6, about black-and-white thinking, and touch upon “that article” about micro metal-bending, or psychokinetic metal bending. I was surprised to hear this, for even though I’d been quite interested in the article I’d forgotten it for the moment. It appeared in the PSI News bulletin of the Parapsychological Association. Vol. 4, No. 1 for January 1981. She’d read the article this noon at lunch when I called her attention to it. Until I’d first read the piece a couple of days ago, I hadn’t realized that much progress had been made scientifically in the detection of psychic metal-binding on a micro scale. The presentation of information seemed to be very straight-forward, though I’m sure that it will be attacked by the skeptics in a variety of ways. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the situation as it develops. I’m attaching a copy of the article to this session, for Seth came through with some unique insights concerning healing and micro metal-bending, or PKMB.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Thank you very much, Seth. Good night.”

(I also think there are clear connections between Seth’s material this evening and that given in Appendix 4 in Volume 1 of “Unknown.” In that material I quoted Jane’s own material on other “sidepools” of neurological activity. I wrote later in “Unknown” that I thought Appendix 4 contained some of the best material in that work, and I still think so.)
