“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(And finally, I can note that in recent years I’ve had some experiences of my own with the seventh inner sense. These have been very pleasant, but not nearly as deep as Jane’s. While immersed in them I’ve always been exceptionally sensitive to sound.)

Her first massive sensations in March [estimated], 1962, were followed by these phenomena in 1963: our York Beach experiences in August; her reception of Idea Construction in September; her massive feelings in October [estimated]; the outline she produced for ESP Power [or The Coming of Seth] as a result of the Idea Construction adventure; and the beginning of these sessions in November, through our trying certain experiments listed in that outline [as Jane explains in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material]. It didn’t occur to us to label any of those events as “psychic” until the event of Idea Construction.
