“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Jane regarded all of these works as being science “fantasy” rather than “straight” science fiction. Her fictional themes especially were extensions of much of her earlier poetry, and contained the same kind of thinking that had led to her breaking with her church. She had no conscious intimations that within a decade she would develop the Seth material. “My mind just worked that way,” Jane said of her stories. “I was concerned with those themes so I wrote about them.”

Idea Construction did serve as a psychic trigger, however; it led Jane to her outline for How to Develop Your ESP Power (see Note 2 for Seth’s Preface in this book), then to the beginning of the Seth sessions two months later. “Enough energy was generated in that evening to change the direction of my life and my husband’s,” she wrote in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material. In that chapter she examines the experience in some detail, and gives excerpts from Idea Construction itself. In Seth Speaks, see her Introduction and Session 596 in the Appendix for further references to that original manuscript.

Even in his poetry, before our work, Ruburt’s energy led him way beyond “himself” at certain times. [...]
