“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A note: I can finish the book at any number of consecutive sessions, if you wish.

[...] Actually, though, we won’t have any extra time; the finished manuscript of this book is due at Prentice-Hall in October, and will require much work in order to get it done by then. [...]

[...] This is only being done when her physical work is finished; not, for example, when disorientation could disrupt any necessary important physical purposes of her own.

[...] In the past you have been in the habit of putting off “distractions” until this or that book was finished until you were sure that you could cope with freedom. If Ruburt were better completely tomorrow, would he suddenly want to disrupt the whole applecart before “Unknown” was finished, and go to Florida?

[...] For once stated, that desire —which is a desire—would lead to insights and inspirations that would collect in odd hours, scribbled down in a few moments, that would lead quite easily to a finished product.

[...] After finishing the session, Jane told me now that she’d also been very blue last night, and “really got scared” this morning at the pain in her side, “imagining all sorts of things.” [...]

(Jane called at 9:45 this evening, with Carla’s help, as I was finishing this session. [...]

Because events do not exist in the concrete, done-and-finished versions about which you have been taught, then memory must also be a different story.

It would be most difficult to operate within your sphere of reality without the pretension of concrete, finished events. [...]

[...] They are not finished. [...]

[...] But all such instances escape you because you think of so-called evolution as finished.

[...] (Perhaps in this particular biological experiment, the blindness represents an evolutionary dead end, in those terms.) We may ask Seth to elaborate before he finishes Mass Events.

(Before Seth finished dictating Chapter Two, Jane got from him mentally the heading for Chapter One, and inserted it into this manuscript.)

(Yesterday I finished typing up the 841st session, so now I’m all caught up on the sessions that had piled up while Jane and I worked checking the page proofs for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, Psyche, and similar matters. [...]

(To me:) When you consider your creative pursuits, trust the body of your creativity, and stop making judgments like this or that will probably never be done, or finished, and therefore limiting your probabilities. [...]

[...] The day after Jane died I went back to work, finishing the last two Seth books to meet long-overdue publishing deadlines. [...]

I’m still not finished with the duplication of Jane’s and my papers for Yale University Library. [...]

[...] Last week he began and finished an excellent short story, and finished an outline, as well as holding our sessions, and beginning once more his psychological time experiments.

We have not yet finished our consideration of the nature of dreams, which will be given more or less in bulk.

[...] She also finished reading the book on creationism, and at my request today wrote a page or so about her reactions to it. [...]

2. “Rob wanted me to do a paragraph or so about my reactions to the book on scientific creationism that I’ve just finished reading,” Jane wrote, “so here goes. [...]

I had finished Appendix 12 for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality by August 1977. [...]

[...] Late in October she signed her contracts for the publication of James, and delivered the finished manuscript at the end of November. Besides doing all of her own writing and newspaper work, Sue Watkins is close to finishing her part of the typing on the final manuscript for Seth’s Psyche; I still have to spend more time on some of the notes for it. [...]

[...] I like to follow an endeavor through from start to finish in a reasonably direct manner. [...]

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

I would like the book, mine, to run approximately the same length as the one which he has just finished. [...]

(Last Saturday I mailed the last four sessions for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality to Prentice-Hall, and this week I’ve already finished up Chapter 1 for Psyche.

[...] You are both finishing one cycle and beginning another, which will be most satisfying and creative. [...]

[...] to finish my book, start up a definite dream schedule, that is, two or three scheduled long naps plus suggestions as I used to do for various kinds of out-of-bodies and dream states; a session a week as of now with the dream work perhaps making up for the second session we don’t have; and painting. [...]

[...] She’d had an enjoyable, rather heavy supper of hash and eggs and toast, plus ice cream, and began dozing in her chair as soon as she’d finished eating. [...]

(A note added later: Seth himself had some things to say about Atlantis in the 742nd session for Section 6; the session also contains excerpts from the Atlantis material he delivered a month or so after finishing Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, we knew that Seth would soon finish Mass Events; he’s been very neatly summing it up in recent sessions.

[...] Jane and I had expected him to finish his work soon, yet when the moment arrived we still felt a certain surprise, a certain nostalgic letdown: Something we’d counted upon as part of our weekly routine wouldn’t be there any more.

(I left my thoughts about Three Mile Island, and began to consider a closing statement about Seth finishing Mass Events as summer passed its zenith and prepared to blend into fall. [...]

(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. That was some 18 months ago, but actually to one degree or another I’ve been involved with “Unknown” Reality for four years now; I think that temporarily I’ve simply grown tired and overly concerned about the whole project, even while I still have a considerable way to go to finish certain notes and appendixes for Volume 2. Not that I haven’t worked on a number of other things at the same time, of course — but my labors on those two books represent the prolonged, intense focus I always search for in my creative life, and without which I feel incomplete. [...]

(It is Seth’s interpretation of Jane’s very interesting dream of this morning, and was given after he had finished dictation for the evening on Chapter 22 of his book: Seth Speaks—A Goodbye and an Introduction.

[...] Two weeks after it was finished, however, Seth dictated the outline for this present manuscript, in which he would be free to state his ideas in his own way, in book form.

Seth began dictating the book in our next Session 511, January 21, 1970, and finished it in Session 591, August 11, 1971. [...]

Reading the finished book was a delightful experience. [...]

[...] (In the same amount of time I’ve published two books, finished another, and begun a fourth. [...]
