“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She said the “buried” material about Christ and mainline Christian thought had to do with occult [meaning hidden] teachings and the Essenes, who were one of the four major Jewish sects known to exist in the Holy Land early in the first century, A.D. [see chapters 21 and 22 in Seth Speaks.]

1. In the 582nd session in Chapter 20 of Seth Speaks, I quoted Seth during a 1971 ESP class: “All consciousness does, indeed, exist at once, and therefore it did not evolve in those terms … the theory of evolution is as beautiful a tale as the theory of Biblical creation … both might seem to exist within their own systems, and yet, in larger respects they cannot be realities….”

7. Seth evidently referred to the material he gave on the conscious attributes of information for Chapter 3 of Personal Reality. Note 1 for Session 697, in Volume 1, contains quotations from those comments, as well as a few other references.

And from the 521st session (after 10:17) for Chapter 4 of Seth Speaks: “The word ‘result,’ you see, automatically infers cause and effect — the cause happening before the effect — and this is simply one small example of the strength of such distortions, and of the inherent difficulties involved with verbal thought, for it always implies a single-line delineation.”

(“It would make a great chapter.”

(Aggrieved but smiling:) I had much more than a mere chapter in mind. [...]

The experiment using feeling-tones can be done in any chapter that does not have its own exercise. [...]

[...] I’d taken the notebook with Chapter 9 of Dreams to the hospital with me. [...]

(11:30.) Now: Since I imagine you are not ready for a continuation of our first chapter, I will —

(Loudly and humorously.) End of Chapter One, and end of session.

[...] Her material, however, wasn’t influenced by the news story, for just about a year ago Seth-Jane delivered a session for Personal Reality on the mixing of animal and man: the 648th for March 14, 1973, in Chapter 12. [...]

[...] What he wanted was three or four sample chapters. Rob and I were delighted, but somewhat appalled too, as we looked over the chapter headings I’d listed for the book: “A Do-It-Yourself Séance,” “Telepathy, Fact or Fiction?”, “How to Work the Ouija.”

We Meet Seth

[...] See the 618th session in Chapter Three.)

[...] End of that chapter.

2. In Chapter 2 of Dreams, in Volume 1, see Note 5 for Session 885, as well as my comments about naturalism at the end of Note 3 for the last (937th) session.

[...] Her “undeviating direction,” expressed in Poem One below, is directly related to the material about her that I quoted from Seth in Note 6 for Session 931, in Chapter 9 of Dreams: “Nothing, however, would have kept him at the sessions for this amount of time unless he wanted them.” [...]

[...] Beneath our living room windows, a carpenter pounded on an outside door frame as he repaired damage done to the ground floor of the house by the flood of last June [see the 613th session in Chapter One]. [...]

7. Jane first experienced the multiple-channel effect with Seth not long after she began delivering Personal Reality; see Session 616 for Chapter 2.

8. I can add later that in Chapter 17 of Psychic Politics Jane presented both her own notes on her out-of-body experience, and the material Seth gave on it the next evening in the 730th session.

[...] (In Chapter 1 of The Nature of Personal Reality, see the 613th session, for September 11, 1972.) And Jane and I are still exploring, still searching—together—for the factors within those larger frameworks of existence which make qualities like illness possible and understandable.

As Jane wrote in Chapter 1 of The World View of Paul Cézanne: A Psychic Interpretation (1977): “Seth maintains that each of us forms a psychic world view, composed of our own ideas, feelings, and beliefs, as we encounter our private corner of reality.” [...]

[...] Both can be found in Chapter 1 of Personal Reality.

[...] There are no chapters per se. As Seth explained in the 743rd session: “This book had no chapters [in order] to further disrupt your accepted notions of what a book should be. [...]

The first volume, like this one, defies easy description, then, since it leaps over many definitions we usually take for granted; and with its lack of chapter divisions it even confounds our ideas of what a book is. [...]

[...] He sees himself as not having begun it however, even though he has a chapter done, with which he is not entirely pleased.

[...] I did say things like, “This morning while working on Chapter 9 for Dreams I had to reread some sessions from back in 1981 — and they’re perfect. [...]

[...] In fact, I’ll begin the next chapter with Seth’s suggestions on the use of dreams as therapy. [...]

For the envelope test in Session 300 (which is described in Chapter Eight), the target item was a scrap of paper torn from The New York Times of November 7, 1966. [...]
