“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] If you are reading this book you are already too old to clearly remember the constant fantasies of your early childhood. [...]

I do not want to oversimplify, and throughout this book we will add other elaborations upon such behavior. [...]

Dictation: Some years ago, before our sessions actually began (in late 1963) — though immediately previous — Ruburt (Jane) had an experience that he has described in his own books.

(Mr. Van Over appeared to be interested in Jane’s abilities, although he hadn’t read her ESP book. [...]

(R. Van Over also told us that Elaine Garrett wrote the review of Jane’s ESP book, which appeared under a pseudonym in The Journal of Parapsychology.)

[...] They had a package of books for me also. [...]

[...] I think it’s especially true with this book. [...]

[...] “A connection with a family record; as a page, for example, from a book,” is a hit. The visitor’s pass contains a number code referring to Miss Bunn’s hospital record, Lorraine tells us; and the pass is like a page from a book, in that such passes are kept in spiral books at the hospital.

[...] Jane has obtained three of Dunne’s book through the state library at Albany, and we are in the midst of reading them.)

[...] A connection with a family record; as a page, for example, from a book.

[...] Again, it is important that since the works were published—even for example the ESP book—neither of you understood your (my) financial contribution. Even to the ESP book, not just the session material that you took down. [...]

You are beginning, now, each of you, to understand since my latest book. [...]

[...] The mail also represented business—people who buy books. [...]

(At around 9:15 PM I was in the living room talking to Jane about her book on ESP. [...]

The fact, as mentioned, that he is going ahead with the book has a greater meaning than either of you recognize. [...]

Now take a brief break — and (humorously) tell Ruburt he will be amazed with the organization of this book.

[...] She said that Seth’s last remark came about because at the supper table this evening she’d told me, as she has before, that she still hasn’t read this book straight through, and has little idea of its organization. [...]

[...] Since I take this to mean that some time may pass before the questions enter into the scheme of this book, I’ll briefly note their subjects below.

Books have been written about the nature of dreams. [...] A creative idea might lead to a book — certainly a physical-enough production. [...]

(Because we have been so busy, I haven’t written any elaborate notes for Psyche, as I did for the other Seth books. [...]

[...] (With gentle humor:) My books represent vast creativity, and yet you perform your own additional subjective leaps, forming subjective platforms that then deal with the circumstances of the books.

[...] People can use our books, but the greatest use is a kind of mental, spiritual, and psychic acceleration that allows them to use all of their abilities better—but they must decide how they will use truth.

[...] Both Jane and I congratulated her on producing a fine pair of books. [...] Seeing it cheered Jane—yet my wife continued to hassle [as she put it] her efforts on Magical Approach, asking herself again and again whether she really wanted to do that book. [...]

(Three months ago, way back on August 13, following the outline she’d written on July 8 for The Magical Approach to Reality: A Seth Book,¹ Jane began work on the first draft for Chapter 1 of that project. [...]

10:01 P.M. Jane vaguely remembered Seth’s puzzling continuation of book work after he’d said dictation was over for the evening. [...]

[...] We still feel regret that the company had to go to all of that extra expense in order to publish a second edition of the book. [...]

[...] On Monday and Wednesday evenings he furnished material on this book, plus some personal material for us; discoursed at length Tuesday night in ESP class; spoke briefly Friday afternoon to a visiting editor from Time magazine — subject, Freudian psychology; and on Saturday evening talked informally to a group of our friends about daily life in Italy during the time he had been a minor pope in the fourth century a.d. [Reincarnation-wise, Seth had first mentioned his papal experience in an ESP class session in May, 1971. [...]

[...] Now this is not a history book so I will not go into the reasons behind this idea, but will merely mention that it was an overreaction, in your terms at least, to previous religious concepts.

[...] He was ready with some personal data for us, she said, and this would be followed by more book dictation if we stayed up for it.

[...] Then she resumed book dictation at 11:55.)

[...] Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice Hall, called this morning to say that the first copies of her book, The Seth Material, have arrived at Prentice Hall from the printer. He’s mailing a book to Jane today.

There will be some more material in this book dwelling specifically upon reincarnation, but here I want to point out that in this time of choosing between lives, many more issues are at stake than a simple matter of proposed rebirth.

[...] There will be later material in this book on the god concept that will help you understand some things that remain unsaid in this chapter.

Ruburt’s book will do very well. [...] Nevertheless your immediate financial worries will definitely be over within a two-year period, when his other books will also begin to show in financial terms. [...]

I suggest that you purchase the Sherman book by all means.

(The book mentioned by Seth is one on ESP by Harold Sherman.

Ruburt will benefit by our vacation, and also by Sherman’s book. [...]

[...] They were friends of my mother but strangers to me and I thought that maybe they had read the ESP book.

[...] You do not have to wait for example until this book is done. [...]

[...] She wants to be able to read books. [...] “If you keep on improving like you have been, it looks like I’ll be taking the book apart a lot sooner than I thought I would—which, after all, is what we want you to be able to do: read by yourself.” [...]

[...] He still feels badly because he does not have your card, but your card will be two books.

(Here Seth means books on the ancient Sumari songs and on the new.)

(As we waited for the session tonight, Jane said two channels from Seth were open: Seth could speak on the people who have been seeking her out, or give book dictation. She chose to continue with the book, saying that it will help numbers of people far beyond anything she can do individually.)

Because of the Miss Cunningham dream and the “Idea Construction” experience, Rob suggested that I try some experiments in ESP and expansion of consciousness and do a book on the results — negative or positive. Those of you who read my two other books in this field know that the experiments were astonishingly successful and led, through the Ouija board, to our first contact with Seth.

By now, we were also trying other experiments for my book, which I was writing during the mornings. [...] I have quoted parts of it in other books, yet the analogy Seth gave us is such an excellent introduction to the interior universe and to his ideas that it is almost indispensable. [...]

[...] Also, I began a new book.

[...] They didn’t have books, so what good did it do to learn to read?
