“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Originally I planned this appendix on evolution to contain just three widely separated excerpts from Seth’s material: an early unpublished session, a few passages in Seth Speaks, and one in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Seth discussed the repression of natural aggression, and mentioned the sense of guilt that arose in early man with the birth of compassion. [...]

[...] [I can add that just as Jane supplemented Seth’s material on early man, he in turn has added to hers in a kind of freewheeling exchange; his information is presented later in this appendix.]

[...] Early in this appendix, I described how Seth continually built upon material that he’d given before, and that processes of correlation between old and new resulted. [...]

I have described those early sessions elsewhere, but here I’m including, instead, a poem that is a dramatic, intuitive statement about my feelings at the time. [...]

[...] So the early sessions intrigued me, but, intellectually, I couldn’t accept reincarnation. [...]

[...] Bill is 41, Peggy 38, Marilyn and Don in their early 20’s, etc. [...]

[...] Also between Jane and me after company left, when I told Jane we had assisted nature during the early attempts. [...]

[...] The very few times early in our marriage when I would lose my temper, he would absolutely infuriate me by saying softly, with a smirk, “Temper, temper!” and so I would clam up.)

[...] To you, noise, from your early years, was to be avoided. [...]

[...] Both of my friends must get up early in the morning. [...]

[...] That is, she is happily and knowingly hallucinating early girlhood experiences for the sheer joy of the freedom involved. [...]

[...] Notice that break came quite early. [...]

(It goes without saying that we hoped Seth would go into the whole experience of early this morning, since it represented such a good improvement in her effort toward self-understanding. [...]

(She said the time was approximately early evening—at least neither bright daylight or fully night. [...]

[...] He saw this woman, who is stocky and in her fifties or early sixties, at his mother’s funeral, for the first time in many years, and now remembered that L.B. had been a close friend of his mother’s when he [John] was a child.

[...] The idea of the spare, poor young artist or writer, living romantically in a garret or poor apartment, has served as a handy self-image for many in their early years, providing a sense of dignity that enabled such apprentices to make their way. [...]

Tam³ made the decision several times, but early in the game he decided that the book (Sue’s “Conversations With Seth”) should feature illustrations. [...]

So in those terms, how many water dwellers died before the first mammal stood securely with fully completed lungs, breathing earth’s early air?

(Miss Callahan, with whom some of the early sessions were concerned, died this past week. [...]

(I didn’t want Seth to leave before I asked this question: “Do you want to say something about your remark that Jane’s early symptoms were at least partly connected with her embarrassment at making more money than I did?”)

(As early as the 6th session Seth told Jane and me that we were living the last of our physical lives, and that both of us had chosen to become entities. [...]

[...] Obviously the unconscious is spontaneous, but his early experience taught him, as given earlier this evening, to use that spontaneity with care. [...]

[...] Those early feelings are still true to me, and now they’re wound up with my more recent feelings that it seems to be up to me to struggle to try to save Jane from herself. [...]
