“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What Jane has to offer results from the study of consciousness itself, as it’s expressed through her own experience and abilities. By choice, she has no buffers between herself and the exterior world — no assured status, for example. She doesn’t enjoy the protection a scientist does, who probes into a particular subject in depth, then makes a learned report on it from an “objective” position that’s safely outside the field of study. At the same time, I know that Jane feels a responsibility to “publish her results,” and make them available to others. She’s tough in ways that science, for instance, doesn’t understand at all.

Still, her work has met with a great deal of understanding from many people, if hardly from everyone who’s heard of it. It’s interesting to ask how even extensive accepted credentials would help her respond to the extremes of feeling with which she and Seth are sometimes greeted: the outright rejection or the sheer adulation — or the threats she receives on occasion from those who say they’ll commit suicide if Seth doesn’t come through with a session for them immediately.
