“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth began talking about his connections with Ruburt-Jane — and, therefore, himself and his own reality — almost from the time these sessions began on December 2, 1963. Such relationships were of great interest to us as we sought to understand the blossoming of Jane’s psychic abilities. They still are. Every bit of information helped, although often in the beginning I didn’t know enough to follow up answers with more questions. As the sessions multiplied, however, this became more and more difficult to do: There was a steadily widening pool of material to ask questions about!

(I’ll begin our chronology by reminding the reader that Note 6 for Session 711 contains a description of how, through the Ouija board, Seth announced himself by that name in the 4th session for December 8. [Note 6 also includes his reasoning about names, as given a decade later.]

3. In Chapter 3 of The Seth Material Jane describes our use of the Ouija board in the early sessions. In the 8th session for December 15, 1963, she began dictating portions of each session; by the 14th session, she was delivering verbally all of Seth’s material except for an opening remark or two obtained through the board.

Jane held her first ESP class on the evening of September 12, 1967, although she didn’t let Seth come through within that format until the following December, so cautious was she in taking that psychic step. She had no personal experience or other precedent to go by; her How to Develop Your ESP Power had been published in 1966, but she was still experimenting with her own abilities (even as she is now). It could also be said that at issue was the whole question of firsthand public interaction with, and acceptance or rejection of, Seth and his material. Classes were quite small for some time, although they’d grown considerably by the end of 1969. After The Seth Material was published in 1970, class became well known enough to start attracting visitors from various parts of the country. It still does so.

[...] In Chapter 1 of The Seth Material, Jane quoted Seth-to-be from the 4th session for December 8, 1963, as that personality came through on the Ouija board (which we’d used to initiate these sessions): “You may call me whatever you choose. [...]
