“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I told her I think the Seth material touches upon those fears, but doesn’t eradicate their emotional content and force. [...]

[...] In ordinary terms her behavior is an extreme — and I added that when I asked Seth about this, he countered by talking about the extremes of poverty in Africa, say, but he said precious little about Jane per se. [...] I have no plans to resume, for I always ended up feeling that without my pushing, Jane — either with or without Seth — just would never deal with them. [...]

[...] I repeated my old comments that I’d have been more than willing to chuck the whole psychic bit years ago, if she wanted to, for I’d seen signs of trouble way back when she was producing Seth Speaks. [...]

[...] When Seth began saying that Jane would resume walking in reasonable comfort, I at first believed him, but soon came to not believe him, for I saw no sign of such a change even beginning. [...]

[...] Seems the gal had read Seth Speaks and The Seth Material. [...]

(I thought of two questions for Seth as I drove down to the hospital this noon:

[...] I knew that in the past Seth had insisted that she did not. [...]

[...] Seth.”)

(Seth’s impressions do appear to be far-ranging, in connection with the old bureau and its label. Jane and I can make some connection with some of the material, but in the light of what follows we decided to wait. [...]

(Tracing from my note pad of our title suggestions for Jane’s book on ESP and the Seth material.)

(Jane, as Seth, smiled as she referred to Dr. Instream. [...] Many sessions ago, as many as a hundred or more, Seth told us that animal pets would reflect the psychic health and concerns of their owners.

(Many sessions ago also, Seth told me that my Christmas doldrums stemmed from something that happened to me many years ago. [...] Seth promised to go into it but we became sidetracked on other matters last year. [...]

(And, of course, recording the thousands of pages of the Seth material in my meticulous way for over 20 years surely reflects a large portion of the Nebene psyche: keeping his own “purified” translations of ancient records.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Yet Seth’s Nebene rings true—even including my relationship with Jane way back then.)

[...] On some occasions therefore his fears, and defense of you, would prevent excellent material, and at other times his fierce defense of himself would prevent it.

2. I underlined the word story (like this) in Seth’s material just to remind the reader that the Christ figure symbolizes our idea of God and his relationships. According to Seth, the man we call Jesus Christ was actually composed of three individuals who were the physical manifestations of the same nonphysical entity: John the Baptist, St. Paul, and a man historically known as Christ. [...] Seth discussed the Christ story in various passages in The Seth Material and Seth Speaks, and has at least touched upon it in all of his succeeding books.

(In Note 1 for the 817th session, which was held on January 30, I wrote that Sue Watkins had recently delivered the last of the typed manuscript for Seth’s The Nature of the Psyche. [...]

[...] I thought the material excellent, however, with plenty of “bite” to it. [...]

(11:47 P.M. Jane’s delivery for Seth had become even slower toward the end of the session.)

(Jane had been having trouble writing her book on the Seth material with her old spontaneity, and both of us were concerned. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking for Seth in an average voice, with pauses, eyes open often, etc. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] I was especially concerned that Jane wouldn’t be able to surmount the problems, so explicitly delineated by Seth, above, and so eliminate the symptoms. [...]

1. See Chapter 19 of The Seth Material.

[...]

1. There isn’t any such word as incalculatable, of course, but that’s what Jane came through with as she spoke for Seth. [...] Seldom indeed does she make such slips while delivering the Seth material—much less often than any of us may do in daily life.

(With emphasis, while Billy slept curled up against my left elbow as I sat on the couch writing down Seth’s material:) Animals know that their own lives spell out life’s meaning. [...]

[...] I did have a question for Seth now—one made up of a number of questions, actually, and another one of my favorites. [...] It grows out of Seth’s philosophy, obviously, yet it also reflects my own, and concerns man’s attempts to both fight and grasp his heritage. [...]

2. Seth referred to a question I periodically ask Jane, but seldom discuss with others simply because they don’t seem to be interested: What’s happened to all of the Rembrandts? [...] To link the “great masters” with our species’ reincarnational intents and drives, as Seth mentions in this session, opens up a new field for understanding my question, and a very large and intriguing one indeed.

[...] John wasn’t alarmed because of the Seth material. [...]

Now, you shall celebrate with a Seth session. [...] My greetings to our friend, Philip (Seth’s entity name for John).

(John Bradley attended this session; most of the session contains material relating to him. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”

[...] After she finished the reading, I began reading the old sessions to her—just the Seth material portions. [...] When I’d arrived she had over her the cloth sent her by Reudi Anner’s group from the Seth conference in Geneva, Switzerland. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(Seth’s pace had been increasing, and my notes began to fall behind. [...] While doing this of course I lost some material from Seth, but Tam and I agreed that Seth recapitulated any lost data during the rest of the session.

[...] Tam, the editor at Prentice-Hall who is in charge of the book Jane is writing on the Seth material, has been reading the book in manuscript today.

[...] Seth’s pace was rapid.)

([Tam and I:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth has suspended dictation on his book for the last five weeks. [...] Of the four regular sessions held in the remaining time, large portions dealt with matters growing out of the September 4th publication of Jane’s own book, The Seth Material, and a projected radio and television tour.

(Jane told me that “at the tail end of the session,” she had picked up this idea from Seth; I could tape a session, and while it was in progress I would be free to do a series of sketches of her speaking for Seth. [...] Jane was sure the idea came from Seth. [...]

(“Good night, Seth, and thank you.” [...] In the latter part of the session l had been able to easily sense the immediacy of Seth’s presence.

(Now that we could relax a little, however, we had every confidence that Seth would easily resume work on Chapter Eleven of his book, even though Jane hasn’t looked at it for quite a while now. [...]

[...] You do not thoroughly appreciate emotionally your part in the production of our material, or realize that its direction and so forth must be, and is, colored by your own unique characteristics as well as Ruburt’s—and that at certain levels, the Seth material, as it exists, is a product of your lives together. [...]

(I had several questions for Seth, which had grown out of the talk Jane and I had after breakfast. [...] They’re noted here, although I think that at least a good portion of tonight’s material stemmed from remarks I made after supper, when I talked about not using my own abilities as much as I might have over the years.

[...] (Pause.) Do you want this material?

(Since Seth gave us the material on therapeutic dreams last Wednesday, I began suggesting that I would experience one, as I was in a bad mood generally speaking and had been for a week; also I felt poorly with aches and pains etc.; nothing serious but annoying.

[...] Now I got out of bed [in the dream], went into Rob’s room and found that another radio sat on the bookcase where the Seth material is kept, and that the voices were coming from this radio also. [...]

Now I want you all, as Ruburt said, to reread the Seth Material and get out your questions, but more than that reread The Seth Material and imagine my telling it to you. [...]

([Bette:] “Alright, I won’t with you, Seth. [...]

[...] Following a discussion of the last part Seth came through.)

Now you may have a Seth break and a Sumari break and I’m sure Ruburt is ready for a class break. [...]

As mentioned earlier, however, the Seth Material does not ignore deeper questions having to do with the “beginning” of consciousness and of reality. I really think that this particular material can hold its own with the best metaphysical writings of our time. For this reason I am continuing this chapter with excerpts from sessions 426, 427, and 428, where Seth began with a fuller explanation of space, time, and probable realities and then led us, step by step, into a discussion of God.

In other words, the whole frame of reality according to Seth includes far more than reincarnation and development within the physical system that we know. [...] Whole blocks of Seth material discuss the potentials and makeup of consciousness as it is manifested in molecules, man, and pyramid energy gestalts. [...] But as Seth says, “Even this overall pyramid gestalt is not static. [...]

She hardly got the words out of her mouth before Seth interrupted her. [...] In the heat of the discussion, Seth and ESP in general had been forgotten. Now Seth’s voice really boomed out. [...]

Simply stated, this is one of the thumbnail passages that explain Seth’s concept of God:

[...] And in our 12th Session Seth gave what I still think of as a cornerstone that served as a preliminary framework upon which the rest of The Seth Material would be built. I have quoted parts of it in other books, yet the analogy Seth gave us is such an excellent introduction to the interior universe and to his ideas that it is almost indispensable. [...]

I had only begun speaking for Seth a few sessions earlier. [...] We began this one with the Ouija board, but after only a few moments, I shoved it aside and began dictating as Seth. [...]

[...] Those of you who read my two other books in this field know that the experiments were astonishingly successful and led, through the Ouija board, to our first contact with Seth.

[...] Seth didn’t really announce himself until we had worked with the Ouija board four times. [...]

(The session began ordinarily enough, but before long an interaction between Rich and Seth began to show. Seth’s pace also speeded up considerably, and I began to fall behind. But more than this, words cannot really record the very humorous exchange that developed between Rich and Seth. I saw Jane, as Seth, laugh herself far more than ever before in trance. Seth did most of the talking as usual; and more and more his attention became riveted upon Rich as the latter buzzed around, taking photo after photo, with flash. [...]

[...] We wanted the photos for Jane’s book on the Seth material, which is now practically finished. [...]

(Rich was half embarrassed and half serious; at the height of the exchange between the two, Seth’s addresses to Rich were so fast I couldn’t hope to record them. After pictures were over, Seth also returned several times to answer some of Rich’s questions. The session itself, between parries at Rich, Seth addressed to Rich and to Diane, answering questions they had asked before its beginning.

(During break both Rich and Diane asked questions that Seth undertook to answer to some extent. However the pace soon became too fast for my notes; because of this and the funny goings-on between Rich and Seth, I soon gave up note-taking. [...] But with Seth returning several times to speak to Rich and Diane, it was close to midnight before the affair was wound up.

The Seth Material hardcover did not financially change the situation that much, but his classes began to bring in money. [...]

[...] “Boy, Seth, you better come up with some answers,” she said. [...] Seth finally interrupted us.)

(This was a real reaction from Seth. [...] I also thought that this might stem from Jane’s expressed feelings of anger and resentment before the session, and her demands that Seth help. [...]

[...] We were very disappointed that all of our recent efforts, in line with Seth’s suggestions, hadn’t resulted in any improvement.

‘The last books are on the Seth Material,’ I continue, watching them. ‘Do you know about Seth yet?’

The following excerpts from the Seth Material will explain probable systems more clearly, and relate probable selves with dream experience.

Here Seth turns to me and to some others who now appear in the room. Neither Jane or Rob see Seth or the others, although Seth is gesturing and his voice is audible, at least to me.

[...] Seth is still discussing probabilities in his own book, so we don’t have all the answers, by any means. One night, Rob asked Seth how our own egos had changed as a result of our sessions, however, and Seth used the question as an opportunity to give us more information about personality and probable selves.
