“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] After giving a couple of paragraphs of material for Jane, Seth brought the session to a close at 10:15 P.M. Jane was more than a little surprised at its quick end; her delivery had been steady and forceful. [...]

(Jane has been having great fun in recent days, working on her new [and third] novel about the adventures of Oversoul Seven.)

(We had two questions for Seth, since we’re trying to get into the habit of writing such down as they occur to us: 1. Jane wanted Seth to comment on why he’ll take off on something she’s read, and reinterpret it his own way, or carry it further; her question came up because he did this Monday while she’s reading Fred Hoyle’s book, Ten Faces of The Universe; 2. Jane wanted Seth to give information on her “significant” dream of last Saturday morning, July 1. She couldn’t remember any details from it, but has talked about it often; she thinks it had something to do with health.)

[...] I would imagine that Seth made his last remark because Jane and I were speculating about the fate of the material after our deaths – getting a literary executor, etc.)

(These suggestions are based upon the readings by Jane and Rob in Psycho-Cybernetics. [...]

(This prayer is for my wife, Jane. [...]

(During the past few weeks Jane has had but a few sessions for her ESP class and a couple of personal ones for us. [...]

(Jane said she was nervous, now, about resuming dictation after the layoff. [...]

(Jane, as Seth, paused. [...] But I think that Seth’s material here is the best we could possibly come across on our publisher, Castaneda, etc., and I’m sure that Jane will agree.

2. Material on Jane’s symptoms.

[...] Four books were featured, but none of Jane’s. I showed it to her, and it got as negative a reaction from her as it did me. [...]

An ordinary, reputable publisher does not know what to do with a Jane Roberts who produces a Seth of another reality—books on her own also, and books moreover of quality.

[...] Jane’s delivery had been good throughout the session, and once again she was relaxed now that it was over. Seth’s reference to the poor and nationalized health care referred to material Jane had picked up from him during the day; The poor were actually better off as they are now, without such a national health-care plan, for as it is they’re isolated from and immune to a number of ills they would start falling prey to if they could afford to pay for such treatment—that is, if the costs were paid for them. [...]

(As we sat for the session Jane gave me a copy [which is attached] of the dreams she had while taking a nap this afternoon. [...]

[...] Jane laughed as she came out of trance. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been very deep. [...]

[...] Here Seth referred to Jane’s daytime writing projects.)

(End at 11:40 p.m. When Jane woke up the next morning, this passage of Seth’s from last night’s session was on her mind: “A group of selves forms a soul.” [...]

(Jane was sure that she’d spoken correctly in delivering the material, and checking, we found that my notes backed her up. [...]

(I had only part of the last session typed, so I read the rest of it to Jane from my notes. [...]

[...] Jane was very intent in her delivery.) The story of the fall, the rebellious angels, and the leader Satan who becomes the devil — all of this refers to the same phenomena on a different level. [...]

[...] Seth referred to the personal material he’d given for us before book work, so I read it to Jane now. [...]

[...] I told Jane that it was all right with me if she wanted to end the session. [...]

[...] Jane received her check from publisher Fell today and was pleased.)

(Handwritten: “See Notes" Jane wrote after I typed the session.

(Jane’s handwritten note: “May 1968—John, in rereading a copy of this session, saw at once that the boy referred to as M J is M.J. Shuman—a child whose influence on his son he distrusts. [...]

[...] Jane’s cheek came today, Wednesday, January 18, for the ESP book.

(This morning Jane found that for a few moments she could read very small print much better without her glasses than she could wearing them. [...] Jane has also been experiencing many other bodily changes, so that as a whole she’s felt rather besieged, and far from comfortable.

The men, working here (on Jane’s back room and porch), are distracting. [...]

[...] Jane had been quite restless last night, with all the bodily changes occurring. [...]

[...] She and Jane talked until about 10:10.)

[...] Jane wrote upon reading this session: “How I often deal opaquely with Rob. [...]

[...] Among other things, Jane wrote later: “I thought Rob was saying—when you’re completely recovered, etc we’ll take trips. [...]

(Once again, Jane wrote upon reading the session: “If I’ve been afraid of letting R see me at my worst, don’t be afraid of letting him see me at my best.” [...]

(Just before the session Jane said she felt unusually relaxed. [...]

Now Joseph (pause), neither of you should overlook the fact that in one way or another, and regardless of the psychic development, such a crisis point (Jane’s symptoms) would have appeared in Ruburt’s life as a result of personal characteristics, present-life background, and past-life characteristics.

[...] Jane took a very long time to open her eyes, and when she succeeded they were very heavy and bleary. [...]

[...] Jane came out of trance a little more quickly this time, but still took quite a bit longer than usual. [...]

(Jane, as Seth, reached across the coffee table between us, to take my half-full glass of beer. [...]

[...] I had noticed the nearly regular variations in the speed of Jane’s delivery not long after the session began. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had been good. [...]

[...] Jane was now pausing very noticeably between many phrases as she delivered this material.)

(Jane has just finished the final typing of her own The World View of Paul Cézanne, and now I’m ready to type the finished version of Volume I of Seth’s “Unknown” Reality. [...] Quite to my surprise, since typing isn’t one of her favorite activities, Jane announced that she’s going to help me type the final copy for Volume 1 — so each of us spent most of the day at our respective machines.

[...] Jane jokingly commented that she wished Seth could type too.)

(11:36 P.M. Jane said that Seth’s material was going to lead into the formation of EE units — electromagnetic energy units — and their collective role in the creation of physical matter.)

[...] After giving a page or so of information for Jane and me, as usual, Seth ended the session at 11:55 P.M.

(The next morning, Jane awakened with the title of a book in mind. The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher. [...]

(As mentioned earlier in this manuscript, Jane had received several pages of “James material” which she’d included in Psychic Politics, and Seth had given a session last year explaining her “subjective connections” with James. [...]

(Nevertheless, during the morning Jane suddenly felt that “something was ready.” [...]

[...] See Jane’s own copy, attached, for an elaboration of her question about Pat and Carroll.

(2. Jane: More on eyes. [...]

(3. Jane: Anything on how to handle episodes like yesterday’s with Pat and Carroll?)

(On September 27, Jane woke up after her nap with a batch of material in mind on: Private Revelation, and the Voice of God, or Divine Dialogues, which she wrote down. [...] Jane wasn’t sure why she came up with the material, since she hadn’t been thinking about such things, nor had we discussed anything relative to it recently. [...]

(An extra carbon of this session is being made for Jane to attach to her dream notebook. [...]

(The immediately preceding pages contain the session for Jane’s ESP class of Tuesday, August 20, 1968. [...]

(Eyes closed, Jane paused; she gestured to me to wait.)

[...] Jane’s trance was good, and she entered and left it easily.)

[...] I was dismayed to realize that some four and a half years had passed since that session had been held, and that we were still struggling with the same problems—indeed, that Jane had lost much ground physically in the interim. [...] I explained my feelings to Jane as we sat for the session, and as I talked felt myself sink into a deep depression. [...]
