“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He has more energy now you see, though you may not realize it—energy to think of classes, and energy for enthusiasm.

The classes will be like psychic fresh air in your environment. [...]

[...] This was a reference to the fact that Jane got “mad” at Seth—one of the few times this has occurred—at an ESP-class session last night, for some remarks Seth made concerning Jane’s tendency to intellectually categorize people. [...]

—and I thank Ruburt for the class sessions. (Elaborate, courteous amusement.) He learns as much from them as the students, but of a different nature; and he also knows that if he did not give his permission, such sessions would not be held. [...]

Even the third class will be of benefit to him, regardless of finances. Now, he does feel that you have purposely cut yourself off from any interest in the classes. [...]

(Jane hasn’t restarted ESP class yet. [...] Class may have to wait until Seth finishes his work on “Unknown” Reality.

2. A number of our friends — some of them members of ESP class — helped us move on Saturday, March 15. [...]

(Before this evening’s session I had said that publication of the Seth material could help many more people than Jane [called Ruburt by Seth] could help personally in her ESP classes, and that too much energy expended in the classes took away from that available for the theoretical material available to us in our regular twice-weekly sessions. I had also said that now that her ESP students were quite used to Seth speaking during classes, the absence of this would be resented by them.)

Your ideas about mail are excellent, and could not come until each of you had some faith in others, for before you would not trust mail to class.

ESP CLASS SESSION, DECEMBER 28, 1967

[...] (On Seth’s book.) Have Ruburt mention the book copies in class. [...]

[...] A California resident called Maude Cardwell in Texas, to tell her that he has our permission to market the audio tapes of Jane’s ESP class, which ended in 1975. [...]

(Seth refers to last night’s ESP class, in which Jane and some of her students obtained some unusual effects and experiences. One ESP class member, Sue Watkins, saw Seth in the room, etc.)

I mentioned this and read my small script to class at our next meeting, adding that I thought further instructions would have been given if the session had not been cut short. [...]

In our next class, Seth commented on Sue’s dream:

[...] Your own experience can be used to benefit the class at large, for you must be led to see that you can alter physical events in such a way. [...]

[...] In the last class, Seth had told the students that he would help those who were ready to project. [...]

2. Sometimes together, sometimes separately, Jane and I listen to portions of the tapes students had made of the sessions and other exciting happenings in her ESP classes. [...]

The first quotation is from material Seth gave class members on November 3, 1970 (almost 11 years ago):

[...] I estimate that Seth gave this information to a group of visitors who attended a class some time in 1974 (or seven years ago):

[...] (On Tuesday, January 7, 1975, Sandi Parness of New York City—before ESP class—talked with us about making Seven into a movie. [...]

[...] Your participation in class is important because it represents an opening of your secrecy. [...]

[...] You need the feeling of a portion of your home open for classes, or guests, while a separate portion is private. [...]

[...] I had only a little success delineating terms like “phylum” and “genus,” since I didn’t have a dictionary handy to refresh my own memory; however, I did help her understand that mammals aren’t a subspecies of any other group, but are themselves a major class of warm-blooded creatures.

[...] Mammals are animals of the highest class of warm-blooded vertebrates, the Mammalia. [...]

[...] For man alone the arrangement goes in this descending order from the most inclusive: The kingdom Animalia; phylum Chordata; class Mammalia; order Primates; family Hominidae; genus Homo; species name Homo sapiens; common name Man.

(The balance of the session was material Seth delivered to be played for Pat’s high-school class of exceptional students, and is, we think, excellent. [...]

[...] The presence of witnesses encouraged her; strong voice effects began to show themselves, the best in many sessions and toward the end of the Pat’s delivery, Jane achieved a projection to the Boston classroom of Pat’s special class. [...]

[...] Well, how about the transcripts in book form of the ESP classes Jane conducted from 1967 to 1978? [...] Jane and I used to marvel at their endurance.) Rick recorded and has produced many audio tapes of Jane and Seth speaking in those classes; at this time he’s also producing an additional group of tapes. [...]

[...] Jane also kept her ESP class going, and within that spontaneous format she often spoke for Seth, or sang in Sumari,¹ her trance language. The break in book dictation gave me time to begin attending class regularly, and I plan to continue doing so. And when I began sitting in on class, I discovered anew that its loose structure served as a catalyst for certain little psychic events that I find most enjoyable: Tuesday night is class night, and often such an experience takes place as I rest for half an hour late that afternoon. [...] Sometimes I make a drawing also, and use that to supplement my description of the event in class.

[...] Psychically, developments appear in class. [...] Therefore, Ruburt’s new class energy is the first development that shows. [...]

Your ideas about the letter (to correspondents) are encouraging first motions toward what I am speaking of, as are Ruburt’s ideas about class, and your sexual advances. [...]

[...] His presence was advanced as a possible reason for the quietness of the class.
