“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Although I told myself that I knew Jane still lived, I wasn’t used to being in the presence of physical death. I made two ball-point pen drawings of my wife while she lay on her side with her beautiful eyes still open; they were blue flecked with hazel, and were as clear and peaceful as those of a child. I had the vague idea that I’d use the drawings as references for portraits that I would paint of her. They would be unique, I thought. (I have yet to paint those particular images, but still plan to do so.)

Jane had been a devoted Catholic in her youth. Since she had died in a Catholic hospital, I called for a priest to speak at her bedside. I tried, but could not cry as he spoke: “Loving and merciful God, we entrust our sister to you. You loved her greatly in this life …” The priest promised to send me a copy of his eulogy.

Over the years Jane’s and my work led to our receiving many thousands of letters, not only from this country but from abroad, too. I still gratefully receive letters almost every day, and still struggle to answer each one in some fashion. Without the responses of others, Jane and I often said, where would we be? Except for a few missives that may have escaped us in the very beginning, I’ve saved them all.

Also, copies of all of the Seth sessions — regular, private, and for ESP class — are in the collection of our papers at Yale. Much other material is there also: I’ve spent several years assembling it. Practically all of this is open to the public, free of charge, with but a few restrictions as to how much can be copied for personal use. Sometimes my permission is required.
