“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Ruburt need have no worries about his book, or about the library. [...]

[...] Have Ruburt play with his ideas and with the ideas in my book, and not overstress this idea of responsibility, particularly as far as my books are concerned. The book sessions should indeed be fun, even as children have fun with their creativity. [...]

[...] I was nervous before this one, and I’ll ready the last book session before next Monday....”

[...] Ruburt’s books are doing well. [...]

[...] Hence, beginning each new book, he tightened his controls. [...]

Besides working with body belief, you are automatically working with the inner belief, showing him that physical activity can be mixed with creativity in the book and in our sessions, that you approve, yourself, and that he is physically capable.

(In the last session Seth promised to begin dictation on his latest book after a long layoff, but as things turned out the book was not begun anew. [...]

[...] As the books became more popular, you were suddenly threatened in terms of privacy, of exposure personally—and perhaps, Ruburt felt, being forced one way or another into that other world in which, after all, the two of you did not belong.

[...] That is all I will say for now—but apply the book dictation tonight to your own lives. [...]

(11:37.) Now: that is the end of (book) dictation, and give me a moment. [...]

In the meantime, we joined a book club that dealt with psychic phenomena. Much to my amazement, their literature listed several books on projection. [...]

[...] These checked out in physical reality and are recorded in my book, The Seth Material. Some of these episodes concerned strangers who had written to me. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s waking projection upon first reading the Fox book was also legitimate, as he should know.

(Since Seth makes further reference to this incident, I’ll describe it briefly, though waking projections will not generally be discussed in this book which is devoted to dreams and related material. [...]

Thus far in this book, we have barely begun to touch upon the multitudinous issues involved in good health or in its absence. [...]

Later on in this book we will also discuss the ways in which you can use your own beliefs about the medical profession to reinforce your overall sense of health, rather than to undermine it.

“That’s why we don’t bother with effects that can be duplicated,” Seth suddenly said, “but with this performance and our books, which cannot be duplicated. For where does the material in the books come from? [...]

[...] [This sometimes happens in class: Seth will elaborate upon book information, or discuss it from a different viewpoint; this in turn makes Jane and me want to see such material used in the book.])

(Once again Seth devoted the first delivery of the session to his introduction for Jane’s “Cézanne” book. [...]

Our book.

[...] We attributed a mental cause to it, probably concern over the forthcoming publication of her ESP book.

[...] He is not upset basically (Jane got up from her rocker and walked about the room as she spoke, looking for her cigarettes) believe it or not, with the delay in his book publication, though this is the conscious rationalization.

(Laugh.) He is concerned, you see, over the publication of his book, period. [...]

I told you that this book would change your lives. [...]

[...] Seth had said we would be asked to read a book, but Dr. Instream did not insist that we read this work. We also bought two books by Dr. Instream at the college bookstore Monday noon.

[...] When Ruburt’s book is published the fact of the sessions will be known. [...] What Ruburt has said in his book has been up to him, and therefore we have to deal with the results.

[...] The book will be criticized... [...]

[...] If you are a writer or an artist, then it seems that you must produce so many paintings or books or whatever as, say, an automobile worker must process so many pieces of the overall car chassis. [...]

[...] What he needed to do was really relax, not prove that he could or should or must immediately begin another book. [...]

In Mass Events, Seth speaks often about Frameworks 1 and 2. From my opening notes for Session 814, which Jane held on October 8, 1977 for that book:

[...] Prentice-Hall published both books.

Today Jane reread her recent sessions for Dreams; she wanted to resume work on the book tonight, and picked up on it from Seth throughout the day. [...] She wanted to get started: “I still feel nervous about going back to the book….”

[...] In putting together the Seth books most of my decisions concern what to leave out, rather than what to include.

[...] Because of her concentration on that hook she hasn’t done much on her book of poetry, If We Live Again, since late February; and as I mentioned in the Preface for Dreams, she laid aside her third Seven novel, Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, in May 1979 when she began God of Jane. [...]

[...] “I don’t know who’s going to read this book but they’ll sure find a lot in it to study.”

[...] While discussing probabilities in the 565th session for Chapter 16 of that book he said. [...]

[...] Jane hasn’t had a book session to read since the 718th, for November 6, was held almost four weeks ago. [...]

And Seth in his Preface for Volume 1: “Here, I wish to make it clear that this book will initiate a journey in which it may seem that the familiar is left far behind. [...]

[...] They’re very easy for Jane to check, compared to those for her other books.

[...] Each of us has a strong sense of responsibility toward those who read our books. [...]

[...] During that time Jane held four book sessions, with small portions of three of them being deleted, or private; 10 regular nonbook sessions, with brief sections of four of those being private; and 68 completely private sessions. [...]

[...] I don’t want that, I want material on the book —” But Seth did come through with a couple of pages relative to a discussion we’d had today. [...]

[...] It would help here if the reader remembers what has been said about natural guilt earlier in this book. [...]

[...] Seth referred to the personal material he’d given for us before book work, so I read it to Jane now. [...]

The book will sell as I have said. Ruburt is doing well now on the book on which he is working. [...]

[...] This is for Ruburt’s book.

(Jane’s pages are with her Aspects II manuscript at the moment, and may be incorporated in that book. [...]

[...] At one point Ruburt saw the ape still male, and then a portion of himself sitting at the library table, for in your position it is the animal instincts themselves that propel you to search for answers, to write books, to explore in your particular way. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s book is barely begun, or the experiences connected with it and in it. [...]
