“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is simply felt to be an experience, a discovery, that went so far and no further — but the events in no way impede the vitality and strength of the inner consciousness so involved.

2. The “officially accepted life” mentioned here reminded me that in the last (694th) session Seth used the phrase “your officially recognized idea of physical reality” in discussing the role probable events played in our world history. [...]

[...] Just as we did with that 840th session, however, Jane and I are presenting portions of this evening’s delivery in Mass Events because we think they should be published within that framework.

The woman told the events of the trip to friends, then dreamed that night of the friends, and in this dream the woman retold these events. [...]

[...] According to the chronology of events that Jane made up from her old notebooks last year, the symptoms began before the psychic manifestation of her abilities. [...]

[...] To some extent, in certain terms, you have upset both of your brothers, and your younger brother’s comments concerning money were directly related to two events in your life.

[...] An extra carbon of the notes describing that event are presented with the 871st session.)

[...] It is quite simplistic, for example, to say, as some people do, that any given particular event from a past life leads inevitably to a particularly matching effect in a present one. [...]

I’ve always transferred my life to letters,
and one day it will reside
exclusively in written nouns and vowels,
clean paragraphs
distilled from mysterious life’s days.
Even before death’s event
I plan my mind’s resting place
as if there is a second life
in thought’s products that defies
the brain’s shorter span, and rises
sans blood, flesh, hand or eye,
self-contained, truly alive at last;
like some mental balloon
set on a safe course finally
through unexplored skies
when the hand that holds it
lets it go.

1. One might say that Seth himself provided for Jane’s material here when, back in the 681st session, he talked about parallel events, alternate realities, and probable selves and worlds.

[...] Now that those doors are opening, you will also see the results in other areas of your lives, bringing to you ever more fortunate events. [...]

[...] This colossus exploded, and the still expanding universe we see today is the aftermath of that event. [...]

[...] Other illnesses, of course, may be caused by sudden decisions that are a response to a particular event in your life.

In other lands of the psyche, however, even stranger events might occur. [...]

It makes little difference whether you watch the news or not—but it makes all the difference in the world what you think of world events.

The perspective from which you watch world events is vital, and it is true that communication now brings to the conscious mind a far greater barrage than before. [...]

[...] Now I am not sure if the woman’s name was Lillian, but a Lillian was somehow connected with the event. [...]

The event was subconsciously recognized by you and had to do, I believe, with a woman with whom you worked with, whom you are at least partially involved in that you meet her now and then. [...]

[...] I will try to keep the events in chronological order. [...]

(As stated, I had to be dragged into this event by Jane and Bill, and went along, finally, quite reluctantly.

(“For example an analysis of an ancient Mexican drug, sinicuichi, has shown it to contain five alkaloids that produce giddiness, an illusion that surrounding objects have become very small, and a feeling of remembering events before one’s birth.”

[...] We thought that probably it was in preparation for later events. [...]

[...] Now, many events that were only imagined and never took place, physically speaking, many such events still exist. [...]

There are five events that Dr. Instream will attend specifically, and for which he is planning. [...]

[...] Peter told me after class that my sketches had instantly rearoused his memories, although in his experience he’d seen the event from different angles. [...]

[...] I’ll close this appendix with two more queries that psychically are much more personal and very intriguing: Had Peter Smith viewed the same events on that tower in Jerusalem from the vantage point of the soldier who killed my soldier? [...]

[...] Not as convenient as it sounds, however: The next scheduled session may lie several days ahead; book dictation always comes first when Seth does speak, and at session’s end it may be too late for “extra” questions, or we may be tired; even though any given event is interesting, it can easily be pushed out of immediate awareness by succeeding ones that are equally intriguing. [...]

[...] We were pleased to get it for, as I told Jane, if ever we’re to understand all of the events in our lives that led to the hospital experience, we must call upon every ability at our service. [...]

[...] We were very encouraged by two key points Seth had mentioned: that her thyroid gland had repaired itself before—such an event happening now would free her of dependence upon medication—and that her sinful self’s superhuman image had “cracked and crumbled in the hospital experience.” [...]

At the end of May and early in June 1981 we published two books involving years of effort: Seth-Jane’s The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, and Jane’s The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto. I was positive that those volumes contained much excellent work. [...]

And as for books, early in August I returned to our publisher, Prentice-Hall, the page proofs Jane had corrected for her book of poetry: If We Live Again: Or, Public Magic and Private Love. Ordinarily that event would have delighted us, since it meant that before the year was out she’d have another work published. [...]
