(I also suggested to Jane that if she began another Seth book, we do it without notes—straight Seth, with her writing her own introduction, say. [...]

(Earlier in the week Jane received word that her editor wanted an Introduction from her for Seth’s book, and an Appendix. [...]

(Seth opened the session by finishing his Introduction to Jane’s The World View of Paul Cézanne, which Prentice-Hall will publish later this year. [...]

[...] A large portion of this book will be devoted, of course, to the introduction of concepts that will privately encourage greater productivity and creativity, and therefore automatically contribute to more healthy and sane social ways.

[...] I realize that your Frank Watts introduction is a year off, and hope that you both understand how much you have learned and how much you have progressed. [...]

Introduction to the Interior
Universe

This is the first of several key sessions included in this portion of the book as introductions to the interior universe. [...]

[...] How strange, I found myself thinking as I prepared to write this introduction, that 37 years would pass before I’d start publishing this series of personal sessions and excerpts that had been dictated by my wife, Jane Roberts, for Seth, the “energy personality essence” she spoke for while in a trance state.

[...] I think that my writing this introduction, then, is basically timeless behavior. [...]

Obviously, this introduction will be incomplete. [...]

[...] I’m pleased to believe that they have psychically joined me as I write this introduction, and that they know I have tried to be objective. [...]

[...] He also said he had written to Ruth Montgomery, asking her to do the introduction; if she agreed this might mean RM. [...]

1. I also kept track of Jane’s progress as she wrote the Introduction for Mass Events. She finished that excellent piece of work seven months ago—a few days before she delivered the first formal session for the Preface to Dreams, the 881st, on September 25, 1979. [...]

(Without necessarily expecting an answer this evening, I asked a question I thought Jane might want to consider if and when she wrote an introduction for this book: Could she dictate the whole book for Seth in, say, a month’s worth of daily sessions, or did she need a certain amount of day-by-day living and experience, over a period of months, perhaps, in order to be able to let the book come through?

[...] Since she’s finished her Seth part of the work for Mass Events, three days ago she began writing the Introduction to that book. [...]

[...] Next month she’ll get together with Sue to go over it, then start writing the Introduction for the book soon afterward.

[...] At the same time she’s been extremely inspired and creative recently, working on her own God of Jane and the Introduction for Seth’s Mass Events, turning out many pages of excellent material for those works. [...]

[...] When imbalances of a physical nature are removed by the introduction of drugs, however, the body signals say that the inner dilemma must have been taken care of also — while this may not be the case at all (very positively).

[...] Jane did manage to hold her ESP and writing classes part of the time; she also worked on her novel, The Education of Oversoul 7, which she discusses in her Introduction.

4. A note added later: Jane dealt with her “own” ideas of the inner multidimensional self in Part 2 of her Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology. [...]

[...] above, referred to a manuscript we received today, in which the coauthors claimed that Seth would do the introduction, and so forth. [...]

[...] It will serve as an introduction, and from it various complimentary books will flow.

INTRODUCTION
BY JANE ROBERTS

(Adding to the 11:05 note on sound: The 1971-72 sessions mentioned there also contained much about the inner meanings of sound and Jane’s development and use of Sumari — and once again I refer the reader to her Introduction. [...]
