“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(One of the events we’ve been preparing for is the visit tomorrow of Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, Inc. He plans to attend ESP class tomorrow night, then stay over Wednesday to read and discuss the two works Jane has in progress, Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology, and “Unknown” Reality. Tam will also look at my first rough sketches for Jane’s book of poetry, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time.¹ Then on Wednesday night he’ll witness the scheduled 706th session. If Seth comes through with material for “Unknown” Reality, Tam will be the first “outsider” to sit in on a session for this work. Almost always Jane dictates book material without witnesses other than myself and uses the framework of ESP class for emotional interactions involving herself, Seth, and others. That rather formal division in her trance activities suits us well; we enjoy doing most of our work by ourselves, no matter what kind it may be.

(When that meeting took place, Jane was in trance; off came her glasses; once again she’d met Seth on the psychological bridge the two of them had established when these sessions began, over a decade ago. Seth has explained such a connective as “a psychological extension, a projection of characteristics on both of our parts, and this I use for our communications … it is like a road that must be kept clear of debris.²

(As is usually the case in our private sessions, Jane’s Seth voice was only a little deeper than her own regular one. Her Seth accent however, was quite unique. I often think it bears traces of a European heritage — but one that’s impossible to pinpoint by country. Her eyes in trance were much darker, and seemingly without highlights.)

(10:14. The call was from out of town. A young man had finished reading The Seth Material this evening. He had many questions — and was too impatient to finish the letter to Jane that he’d just started. His enthusiastic response was one we’d experienced many times before. I talked to him for a few minutes while Jane rested after coming out of trance, and suggested that he call her later in the week. Resume at 10.36.)

(Over a year later Jane supplemented such remarks by Seth with some trance material of her “own”; see Appendix 6 in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]
