“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Our experiments in what Seth calls “Psychological Time” helped us develop our own psychic abilities. The quality and scope of the Seth Material constantly grew, and we were to make some contacts with others in the field of parapsychology. We were shortly to discover that Seth was indeed clairvoyant, and that my own training as a medium had only begun.

I was unhappy with the reincarnational material simply because I still didn’t want to accept the idea—it just seemed too far out. I didn’t exactly encourage Rob to ask Seth to enlarge on this information or to fill in on the details he’d given. But it was a part of the material—I could hardly deny that.

We quickly learned that Seth regarded physical symptoms as the outward materialization of inner dis-ease. [...] In later sessions he would give some excellent material on maintaining good health. [...]

I’ve devoted some time and space to the early Seth sessions so that the reader could become acquainted with part of the material as it was given to us. [...]

[...] He could see and hear me as Seth and I couldn’t. Now during break I questioned him again. I hated to have to depend on someone else to tell me what was going on, but I had learned one thing: I couldn’t be Jane and Seth at once. For Seth to come through I had to stop such mental quibbling—at least temporarily.

Later elaborations on the above statement gave us a pretty fair idea of what inner processes go on so that Seth and I can make contact. [...] At this point I’d been speaking as Seth for about forty minutes, and he recommended a rest period, saying: “Sometime between now and twenty-five years of laying your doubts at rest, I would like to go into some other matters that I have been trying to tackle for several sessions. [...]

The session lasted until 11:30 P.M. Rob was reassured by Seth’s statements about my ability to handle dissociation, and by his responsible attitude. [...] “Of course, Seth said that everything was okay,” I said. [...]

For a while I think I spent half the time trying to psychoanalyze Seth and the other half trying to analyze myself. [...] Even so, Seth said that my strong ego was an asset to our work when I didn’t overdo it, since it kept my whole personality on an even keel and allowed me the psychological strength to handle and develop my abilities.

In early spring Rob came down with several annoying gumboils and one night he asked Seth how he might get rid of them. Seth immediately launched into a rather hilarious discussion of the unsanitary aspects of a refrigerator in the bathroom. [...]

[...] Seth suggested we purchase a particular house. [...] Seth might very well be right, we thought—and we might be happier if we bought the house—but we just weren’t willing to take the chance.
