“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“As I lay down for my usual nap this afternoon, I reminded myself that Jane was to hold her ESP class this evening. Jokingly, I thought, I’d probably ‘get something’ just when I’d have the least amount of time to write it up afterward, make any drawings I could, and just plain take a while to think about it. (On class night we eat supper by 6:00; students often begin to arrive by 7:15, although class doesn’t begin until 8:00.) So what happened? I experienced two long-lasting mental images before I slept. Was I happy with them? I didn’t know, for they not only rearoused old questions, but brought up some new ones.

(Jane held her ESP class that same evening. Long after class break toward the end of the night, I presented my fourth Roman by reading from the notes just given. Class members passed my sketches around. Almost immediately Seth came through with further elaborations on his ideas about counterparts. He also cleared up a few points for me. Seth:)

(And — almost too much — another strange incident was mentioned in the same class. A student I’ll call Mary told me about just having met a black woman [in a most prosaic night-school class] who looked “exactly like” my drawing of Maumee,¹⁴ the woman in my Jamaica experience of three weeks ago. Mary’s new classmate had no upper teeth, the state in which I’d pictured Maumee.

(Seth’s delivery, only partly quoted here, was very forceful. It will help the reader to refer back to the 724th session itself in order to correlate Seth’s material given there with this class session, and with other data on reincarnation and counterparts.

(A group of us — Alex, Warren,² and others — had come over to Jane and Rob’s for a casual get-together, and also to talk about that week’s class, which seemed to be one of the “milestone” classes that happen occasionally.³ During the conversation, Alex said that the rise of literacy in the world would spread Seth’s ideas on a scale that had never previously been possible. [...]

[...] Some of those present were members of Jane’s ESP class; all had heard Seth speak at one time or another.

(Fortunately, class member Sue Watkins managed to tape all but the first few paragraphs of the session, but even the sense of those was taken down in longhand by another student while Sue got our recorder going. [...]

Now, the session in the last class (see Note 3) was a combination of the most sophisticated and the most primitive, for the English words, in your terms, are understood by the proud intellect that rises above the shoulders so securely. [...]

[...] See Appendix 22 for my own material on the event, plus Seth’s comments about it in ESP class last night, plus a quite unusual “confirmation” offered by class member Sue Watkins. [...]

[...] I am not referring here to you specifically, Joseph, any more than I am to any reader or class member.

[...] So there are reasons why you and Peter met, and why certain people come to Ruburt’s classes.
