“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Much investigation along the lines of so-called ESP is being carried on in the Western world. [...]

[...] He will ridicule any such evidence of so-called ESP on the native’s part as further proof of the African’s childlike mind.

The fact remains that psychologists or scientists cannot really speak of so-called ESP as either below normal or above normal as far as the species is concerned, just because Western man finds such difficulty in using it with any effectiveness. [...]

The trouble is in ESP investigations, that you are using the wrong tools again. [...]

ESP CLASS SESSION:
BEFORE JUNE 23, 1970

(In ESP class for April 16, a student asked Seth to comment on “the differences between the male and female [human beings] as we understand them.” [...]

2. Sumari is a “family of consciousness” that Jane first contacted in ESP class for November 23, 1971. [...]

[...] My first book in this field, How to Develop Your ESP Power, briefly explained the circumstances leading to my interest in ESP, and the experiments that led to my introduction to Seth. [...]

[...] I was holding one of my twice weekly ESP classes. [...]

The philosophical and psychological implications of mediumship and ESP phenomena and the possible origins of the Seth Material, along with several questions concerning Seth’s independent reality, will be considered. [...]

[...] Mornings I spent on my ESP book, writing up the results of our experiments. [...]

[...] But the ESP books we’d read all advised that anyone having such experiences contact a qualified psychologist or parapsychologist.

[...] So we decided to contact a parapsychologist who would have a knowledge of ESP and psychology.

The next few chapters will deal with our efforts to be “scientifically responsible,” to “test” Seth for ESP. [...]

[...] Sue Watkins, a member of Jane’s ESP class and our personal friend, has been very helpful; she has loaned me books on the period so that I could be sure of historical references.

[...] Sue is used to hearing Seth speak more rapidly in ESP class, where tape recorders are used. [...]

[...] When ESP class is held in the living room, I’m usually typing material in one of the rooms on the other side of the corridor. [...]

[...] It’s been both surprising and very rewarding, and is an outgrowth of experiments Seth initiated in ESP class.)

[...] She’s had but two regular sessions — one for friends, and a personal one for us — and only one for her weekly ESP class. [...]

ESP CLASS SESSION, JANUARY 18, 1972
TUESDAY

(Mr. Van Over appeared to be interested in Jane’s abilities, although he hadn’t read her ESP book. [...]

(R. Van Over also told us that Elaine Garrett wrote the review of Jane’s ESP book, which appeared under a pseudonym in The Journal of Parapsychology.)

[...] (Results of Jane’s envelope-ESP test.)

AN AID IN VISUALIZING TIME
AS A DIMENSION
BY: ARNOLD PEARSON,
MEMBER OF JANE’S ESP CLASS. [...]

[...] They were friends of my mother but strangers to me and I thought that maybe they had read the ESP book.

(Even so, her use of energy in ESP class Tuesday night was remarkable once again; she alternated between Seth and singing in Sumari throughout the evening.

In a recent ESP class session, however, Seth said: “There is nothing more deadly than nirvana. [...]

[...] Afterward Jane, Shirley Bickford—one of Jane’s ESP class members - and I listened to the tape of ESP class, made last night. [...]

[...] Conversations With Seth is Sue’s fine two-volume account of the ESP classes Jane held from September 1967 to February 1975. [...]

Artist George Rhoads also attended ESP class. [...]

Obviously, some ESP class members met counterparts in class. [...]

(“Earlier this evening I had mentioned to Jane my long-standing interest in Seth’s statement, years ago, that all ESP perceptions had an electromagnetic basis. I was curious about this because we have read that no investigation has ever turned up any electromagnetic relationship with ESP. [...]

(At last break I asked Jane if Seth could discuss two points: Who would be waiting for Father at his death?; and the situation surrounding a letter Jane recently received from a professor at Cornell, who works in remote sensing and asked Jane to deliver an ESP presentation to his graduate class.)
