“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I never really know what to do about such offers, and have answered several such lately. Then today I opened a package that contained a book of trance material similar to Seth’s. I guess I’m supposed to say thanks and that it’s great, to the publisher and the medium. Actually, I think those two people removed their material — which talks about All That Is — too far from its human source, its everyday contact with human personality, and thus produced just another psychic book. You could take six of those books, I thought, shuffle the names of the mediums around, and never know who produced what. I can only think the mediums involved must be afraid of the emotions and implications involved.

(It came to me that what bothers me about the kind of book I opened today is their limited viewpoint. As limited in its way as a book on geology or clothing or any of innumerable others. There’s no questioning mind at work, no new ideas or theories — merely the familiar rehash about All That Is, love, reincarnation, and so forth. Valid enough, perhaps, but lacking original insight and individuality like the Seth material has.

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”

(Seth meant the Pocket Book edition of The Further Education of Oversoul Seven, which had arrived from Prentice-Hall last night — nine copies.

(Very well put, Seth, I thought. “I’ve got another question.”)

(Seth spoke while I tried to catch up on my writing.

(“Thank you, Seth,” I said at 4:32 p.m. His advice was as excellent as always. I felt relieved, and will try the technique. I plan to type it separately where I can keep it in view in my writing room. Maybe on the desk itself. I told Jane I thought the question had been triggered by the session material today, especially that concerning Leonard.)
