[...] One thing is certain: On session nights I went into trance and, as Seth, dictated these chapters. [...]

[...] In Chapter 3 of Psyche Seth says: “Certainly mathematical formulas are not imprinted in the brain, yet they are inherent in the structure of the brain, and implied within its existence.”

[...] I’ve finished for publication Emir’s Education in the Proper Use of Magical Powers (the entire first chapter came in a dream), and The Further Education of Oversoul Seven. [...]

[...] (See the 626th session in Chapter Five, for instance.)

[...] (See the 647th session in Chapter Twelve for related material.) In their terms he showed them that “bad” spirits could be vanquished; but these were, then, symbols accepted as realities by the people — sometimes for quite “normal” diseases and human conditions.

As I mentioned in Seth Speaks, the Christ entity was too great to be contained in any one man, or for that matter in any one time, so the man you think of as Christ was not crucified (See chapters Twenty-one and Twenty-two of Seth Speaks.)

[...] See Chapter Eighteen of The Seth Material besides Seth Speaks and this book.

[...] That is the heading for our next chapter (9).

CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 10

(Pause.) New chapter (10): “The Good, the Better, and the Best. [...]

[...] We have given you an idea for a book—Merry Christmas—and some dictation, beginning chapter seven. [...]

2. In Personal Reality, see sessions 623–25 in Chapter 5. In Oversoul Seven, see the material in Chapter 12, for example, wherein Jane described not only the airborne movement of objects — rocks — but an “extra tension” in the air itself, “as if a million vowels and syllables rose into the air, all glittering, all … alive; like animals of sound….”

[...] Its old fashioned predecessor had been destroyed by Tropical Storm Agnes in June 1972; see my notes for the 613th session in Chapter 1 of Personal Reality.

1. See chapters 7 and 8 in Adventures.

4. The sessions in Chapter 5 of Personal Reality, referred to in Note 2, contain information on the functions of the body’s inner sound, light, and electromagnetic values. [...]

[...] Some early chapters in our latest book (Mass Events)¹ throw light on reasons other than biological ones, for such circumstances.

1. See the first three sessions, 801–3, in Chapter 1 of Mass Events.

[...] There is some difference here, which was mentioned earlier (in the 636th session in Chapter Nine), between you and the animals and the particular way in which you create your reality….

[...] I told you earlier (in the 614th session in Chapter Two, for instance) that your feelings follow the flow of your beliefs, and if this does not seem true to you it is because you are not aware of the contents of your conscious mind. [...]

[...] (See Chapter Five.) The music is a conscious reminder of those deeper inner rhythms, both of sound and of motion. [...]

We will return to our Chapter Two.

[...] We are close to the end of Chapter Two. [...]

Viruses are alive, as I mentioned in another connection (in the 631st session in Chapter Seven), and can be beneficial or detrimental according to other balances in the body. [...]

[...] (Pause.) End of chapter.

[...] (These will be explained in the chapter dealing with the development of psychic abilities.) Rob did these exercises several times that week without making any contact with Dr. Pietra as far as he knew. [...]

As you can see, many of the excerpts given in this chapter also throw light on the nature of personality. [...]

[...] In the next chapter, devoted to Seth’s ideas on personality, you will see that your identity as you know it is always retained.

CHAPTER
FIFTEEN:

Probable Selves
and
Probable Systems of Reality

[...] (On Chapter 20 of Seth Speaks.

1. See Chapter 6 of Adventures in Consciousness for Jane’s description of how she became aware of “Helper” early in November 1971—a little over nine years ago. [...]

2. In this chapter, see Section C of Note 7 for Session 920.

3. Among others in The Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book, see Chapter 9: Seth discusses the state of grace, natural guilt, artificial guilt, and related subjects.

[...] See the 537th session in Chapter Nine for material on after-death organization.)

[...] And so as I said last evening, in my latest chapter, I offer no hope for the lazy, for they will not find eternal rest.

[...] A reference to Augustus in Chapter 6 of Personal Reality.)

One of those periods of delay in Jane’s delivering the sessions for Mass Events lasted for 42 weeks, or 9½ months; in that book see the opening notes for Session 831, in Chapter 5. This hiatus in Chapter 9 of Dreams lasted for eight months, between sessions 928 and 931.

[...] Seth discussed his “seemingly contradictory material” throughout Session 918, which is the last session for Chapter 8 of Dreams, and up to 9:46 in Session 919 for Chapter 9. While researching this little note, I was once again startled to realize that Jane had delivered those two sessions over 13 months ago—early in June 1980.

[...] [See the opening notes for Session 928, in this chapter.] Her options had become several steps more limited once she no longer left the house. [...]

By July 8 we’d accumulated 61 fully private sessions since Jane had given the first session for this chapter of Dreams, the 919th, on June 9, 1980. [...]

To say that my editor was surprised by the first eight chapters of my ESP book is putting it mildly. [...]

[...] So I sent my eight chapters somewhere else, stopped work on the book for nearly a year, and devoted my working time to short stories which were published in various national magazines.

[...] In the next chapter I’ll deal with that exciting—and perplexing—year.

CHAPTER
SIX:

Seth Meets a Psychologist

1. See Chapter 19 of The Seth Material.

[...] That is, Chapter 16 and a few other pages are. [...] Too bad she missed him, for as I told her, he’d make beautiful subject matter for a chapter, by inference. [...]

[...] If you won’t take the whole manuscript, take just this one chapter—Fifteen—and show that to her. [...]

In one of our books (Rob grimaced — much laughter), I will take many chapters to answer.

[...] We’d like to publish it as a chapter in an appropriate book. [...]

9. In Adventures, see Chapter 13, with diagrams 4 and 5.
