“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 768th session was held on March 22, 1976, 11 months after Seth had finished dictating “Unknown” Reality. Originally Jane and I deleted the following rather personal material from the session — yet we present it here because in it Seth explores further the connections involving the three of us. My notes at the time show that I was also distinctly surprised by Seth’s comments on his emotional behavior at his own “level of activity,” but I soon understood my reaction as a sign that we still had things to learn about him, as well as ourselves. In one passage Seth referred to some health difficulties, now resolved, that had bothered me just before our sessions with him began.

I do believe, however, that on occasion Jane has known a stepped-up awareness that almost equates with Seth’s concept-essence. One such instance is described in Appendix 7 for Volume 1: her reception of the material for a book called The Way Toward Health. At that time she tuned in to a different “neurological speed,” a faster one, so that much of the book was available to her at once. Jane’s pleasure at having the ability was strongly tempered, though — for while she “could feel the bulk and immediacy of the book,” as I quoted her in Appendix 7, she was “also frustrated that what I’ve got down is so little and sketchy — WHEN IT’S ALREADY HERE … If I could have immediately spoken the whole thing, it would have been done at once … I can’t tell you how frustrated — how blocked — this made me feel at the time.”

The doctor didn’t know what was wrong with his back and suggested that he spend some time under traction in the hospital. Instead we decided that his reaction to stress was at least partially responsible, hence this trip.”
