“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The first paragraph that follows consists of the excerpts I noted down. [...]

[...] Her voice was quiet but faster than before, so the following short account consists of the excerpts I noted down. [...]

(A few days ago Peggy Gallagher had brought Jane a copy of the latest Cosmopolitan magazine, and suggested that Jane query them about running some excerpts from her ESP book. [...]

[...] It clearly illuminated his material in this session, as can be seen in the excerpt I’ve put together for this presentation. [...]

[...] The excerpts show not only something of Seth’s connections on the “other side” of Jane, but in one case her violent reactions of surprise and panic when she attempted to translate something of Seth Two’s reality in terms of our own camouflage world: She found herself deeply involved in an unexpected experience with “massiveness” — one of the subjects I want to refer to in these preliminary notes. [...]

(Finally, the excerpt to follow from the 612th session is presented just as received, but I’ve updated some of the notes for it [beginning with Note 4] in order to take advantage of later material, including some published in Volume 1.)

Seth Two is mentioned but a few times in Personal Reality. Those who are interested can also refer to the Seth Two descriptions and excerpts in Chapter 22 of Seth Speaks; see Session 588 from 11:35 P.M., and Session 589.

2. Jane’s earliest experiences with the phenomenon of massiveness are described in the 39th session for March 30, 1964; in Volume 1, see the excerpts in Appendix 3 (for Session 681).

[...] The following excerpts were interspersed with the general material after the break at 10:31—10:44.)

[...] For that reason, I’ll use excerpts from it to open this chapter.

Reading the excerpts, you can see that Seth did give hints as to what was to come. [...]

[...] Seth does not ignore such issues, and I’m closing this chapter with a few excerpts in which he considers them. [...]

[...] Not only would the expanded format be something out of the ordinary in itself, but it meant that with two volumes I’d have the room I needed for notes and references; excerpts from Jane’s ESP class sessions, as well as from “regular” sessions dated before and after the production time of “Unknown” Reality; a little of Jane’s poetry; and appendixes — all of which I thought would add extra dimensions of consciousness to the books. [...]

Now I’d like to briefly comment on the handling of the notes, excerpts, and other such matter. [...]

[...] Here in “Unknown” Reality the individual excerpt or session in an appendix, with whatever notes it may have, is usually pretty complete in itself. [...]

The first Seth excerpt is in keeping with the idea of creating bridges between the two volumes of “Unknown” Reality by lifting something out of one for inclusion in the other. [...]

[...] I’ve slightly rearranged excerpts from that session for presentation here:)

[...] In certain ways Jane identified strongly with him, as Seth explains in the excerpts to follow from the 14th session for January 8, 1964.

[...] There are exceptions to this practice, however, as the next Seth excerpt shows.

Seth has more to say about hallucinations and objects in Session 287 for September 21, 1966, and perhaps the first part of the following excerpts helps explain my experience. [...]

My own most recent projection was very close to home, compared to the possible journeys Seth mentioned in the previous excerpts. [...]

[...] That material contains passages that are of special interest here, and I’ve combined them in these excerpts:)

[...] However, note at the end of these excerpts from the 16th session the meanings and delineations he found within that word “plane” — even though he regarded it as our term.])

[...] My main reason for presenting the excerpts that follow is the same as it’s been on other occasions: Seth’s material fits into Mass Events very well. [...]

A Spontaneous Session and Some Answers
Excerpts from Sessions 22 and 23

(Excerpts from Session 23, Wednesday, February 5, 1964, 9:00 P.M.)
(The first section of the session dealt with
personal reincarnation material.)

[...] Seth briefly mentions it in the excerpted material at the end of tonight’s session, with a promise to say more later.

(Those excerpts, in turn, came from his remarks about Jane’s second composition, which she wrote late this afternoon after we’d finished reading certain material. [...]

[...] Had I dated the excerpt? [...]

[...] The following excerpt leads up to the quotation that inspired this note:

(This excerpt from the session contains Seth’s first mention of the Speakers and their functions in the reincarnational process, and supplements the Speaker data in Chapter Seventeen.

When I began putting together Seth’s dictation for Dreams, and adding Jane’s and my own notes, plus excerpts from other relevant sessions, it soon became obvious that the entire work was going to be too long for one volume. [...]

[...] (RC, as everyone calls it, was founded by Maude Cardwell in June 1980; she began it as a two-page mimeographed newsletter.) Richard Roberts, of Vernal Equinox Press, published A Seth Reader, a volume consisting of excerpts from six of the Seth books. [...]

(Seth did give much unexpected material about the brain — and about his own reality, incidentally — but the session turned out to be so long and closely interrelated that I found it very difficult to excerpt; most of the portions I picked out were left hanging, or were too incomplete. [...]

(There follow a few excerpts from Seth’s comments after the session resumed at 9:27.)

(Not long ago I reached an impasse with both the Introductory Notes and the Epilogue for Volume 2, as I tried to give order to the mass of notes, excerpts, and jotted-down ideas that I’ve assembled for them since finishing work on Volume 1 in September 1976. [...]
