“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley didn’t say anything about the 12th Street data, as I hoped he wouldn’t, and Jane didn’t ask him about it. [...]

[...] I didn’t think Bill could be easily hypnotized, but he was quite pleased with his results for a first attempt. [...]

[...] John said he didn’t see connections here, unless the reference was to his own personal plans. [...]

[...] She didn’t remember any of the data before the impressions. Also, we might add that we hadn’t asked for impressions this evening, and so didn’t expect them, etc.

[...] I didn’t recall my brother Dick in the dream. [...]

[...] I had the question partly because of something she’d said herself before the last session—and which I’ve now forgotten—and partly because I didn’t believe that most people were able to deal with such procedures in their daily lives. [...]

[...] Obviously this didn’t always apply, since some people became chronically ill, or died, or suffered devastating illnesses —but for the most part whatever helpings they managed to achieve came about through subconscious mental and bodily processes. [...]

[...] She didn’t know whether to sit upright or lean back: “It feels odd already, and I haven’t even started. [...]

[...] But she said when I didn’t answer she decided to let the session go. [...]

(John didn’t know about the name given for the drug, though the name Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, came into his mind as a probable disease that the drug might be used for. [...]

[...] John didn’t know if anyone else saw it as he mentioned what he saw to no one, including the man involved.

[...] I told Jane before the session that all day I’d been thinking that there was still a cause or causes for the symptoms that we didn’t know, or hadn’t uncovered yet. [...]

[...] The first question Seth referred to was the one about why the subconscious didn’t realize it was going to far, when it imposed or brought about symptoms, as in Jane’s case, that were proving to be too damaging to the body, compared to what they were supposed to protect the body against.

(“How could I write this covenant in Sumari when I didn’t know what I was writing? [...]

(“That didn’t bother me any.”)

(As it turned out, we didn’t ask Seth about promotion work again, and he didn’t bring up the subject himself. [...]

[...] I didn’t mention this to her after the session, and she seemed to have no such reaction when she read the typed session the next day. [...] I told her I didn’t see how it could be any better.

“How a belief in reincarnation and immortality added support to life, so that it didn’t seem dead-ended. That I could relax now, admitting and realizing that I did have certain fears per the sinful self’s document (instead of pretending that I didn’t). [...]

[...] Jane and I didn’t know what to think, since the American publisher of ESP Power, Frederick Fell Publishers, Inc., hadn’t advised us that a translation into Spanish had been authorized. [...]

[...] Seth didn’t comment upon the shooting, It wasn’t that he couldn’t, or wouldn’t—but that Jane herself is basically so innocent, so repelled by the violence involved in such episodes, that she often chooses not to go into the subject. [...]

[...] This seemed to return to mind after our discussion; she didn’t mention it during the session, but when I was typing up these notes. [...]

[...] Jane didn’t know whether her interpretation was correct.

(“Why didn’t Peggy Gallagher show up tonight?”

[...] In a moment, without trying too hard, Jane said it was Matthew’s. She didn’t know why she came up with that answer and she didn’t try to find out more — nor, she said, did her statement necessarily constitute a reply from or through Seth. [...]

[...] As an example, she didn’t think “…the kingdom of God is within you” was from the Bible, but I located several versions of this saying by Jesus easily enough later: “For lo, the kingdom…”; “…for in fact…”; “For behold…”

[...] My consciousness didn’t travel more than 10 feet from my body that time, but the little journey, so vivid and pleasant, did much to reinforce the enlarged view of reality that I’d gradually begun to adopt after Jane started delivering the Seth material late in 1963. [...]

[...] But it didn’t come through before “Unknown” Reality was finished, in April 1975.

10. Perhaps I should have asked Seth to be more specific about those “certain cellular functions” that are accelerated in the sleep state, but I didn’t; I was tiring. [...]

[...] She didn’t say a great deal, except that she’d try to get herself in a quiet mood in order to have the session, and hope Seth could help. [...]

[...] Didn’t you know, Ruburt, that I could be so magnanimous?

[...] I admit I wondered what Rev. Lowe would think, and hoped he didn’t expect something like a prayer meeting. [...]

[...] For one thing, she kept falling head over heels in love with men who didn’t want marriage under any circumstances. [...]

[...] And then, I felt that Matt would want me to “prove my abilities” somehow or other, and I didn’t want to feel under pressure.

Actually, it was kind of funny: Matt knocked himself out to show me that I didn’t really have to prove a thing! [...]

[...] Besides, I didn’t like Seth taking you to task in front of Mark. And that made me question if I was really far more disturbed than I think I was because you didn’t help with Miss Cunningham the other night. [...]

“I though you didn’t think he was a ghost?” Rob said, grinning.

[...] Just the same, with the attitude I had at the time, I’m glad I didn’t know about the letter that was to arrive the next day.

Still, I didn’t know what to make of the material Seth gave us on dreams and the personality that night. [...]

[...] I told her I knew she didn’t want to take the rest periods, and that I had little to offer as an alternative, beyond her simply cutting down on them. [...]

(After the session I reminded Jane that she’d just given a terrific session — something that no one else could do — but that she didn’t give herself much credit for it. [...]

[...] Jane said that she didn’t feel that she was “quite with it, tonight,” for some reason, although I thought her material was as good as ever. Not that she didn’t feel like having a session, she added. [...]

(Until she told me following the session, I didn’t realize that Jane was slightly discomfited by Seth’s remark about holes. [...] In any case, we obviously didn’t delete the passage.

[...] I think my dream is an excellent example of that philosophy; I’d discussed the dream with Jane yesterday, and intended to ask Seth to comment upon it this evening if he didn’t voluntarily do so. [...]

(The dream suggests numerous subjects that Seth didn’t go into, and that I’ll leave for the reader to consider: reincarnation, the shifting of ages and the independence of memory from time in the dream state, and so forth. [...]
