“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last night, Jane told her students in ESP class that Seth had started a new book. Seth had a few things to say about the book, too. From the transcript of the class tape [received a week later]: “Now, reality has no beginning and no end. Hopefully — hopefully — hopefully, in your terms of time, you may get a glimpse of what I mean. There is indeed an expanding universe, and it is formed in the eternal present. In my book I will go as far as I can into those precepts, yet some [of you] will not follow. You create your own reality. That works, and is true, whether or not you follow, or care to follow, into these other realms …

(A note: Jane telephoned Tam Mossman, her editor, today — and learned that Tam already felt that Seth might have begun another book: he’d wondered about it several times in recent days.

(As we waited for the session to begin at 9:30, Jane said, “I’m getting ready — waiting for that certain clear focus — the one clearest place in consciousness for the material to come through …”)

(10:35. Jane’s pace had been slow often, but emphatic throughout. Resume in the same manner at 10:49.)

(Jane paused at 11:33, still in trance, and lit a cigarette. Since starting the series of sessions that make up “Unknown” Reality, it’s becoming something of a custom for her to deliver a little material on other subjects after book dictation; she did so again now, and finished the session at 11:51 P.M.

(Following the last session, Jane began thinking about chapter divisions and headings for the new book. Seth hasn’t given any, of course. I told her that the book might not have chapters, that Seth might have something else planned. [And added later: The eventual resolution of this little dilemma is given early in my Introductory Notes.])

And in connection with Seth’s statement tonight that “… your bodies blink off and on like lights,” see Jane’s comments on her own feelings about related ideas in the notes at the beginning of the last session.

4. In earlier days, Jane and I only thought of the cell as a result of its past, too. Yet at the same time, Jane in her poetry was trying to see through that pervasive belief. The few lines below are from Pathetique, a long poem she wrote in 1959. She was 30 years old, and her development of the Seth material lay five years in the future.

6. Seth discusses a multidimensional god in Chapter 14 of Seth Speaks, and Jane does so from her viewpoint in Chapter 17 of Adventures in Consciousness.
