“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Maybe I’d be better off, I told Jane, if I’d just blow my top. [...] On the one hand Jane, Seth, and I want to see our work presented to the world as originally conceived, as a way to offer ideas to think about. [...]

[...] just hope I can handle it,” Jane said again. [...]

(Jane yawned at 8:42: “I almost feel him around … I guess I’ll try. [...]

(Instead however Seth began to talk about Jane’s evident conflict with an editor at Ace Books. Last Thursday, March 20, Jane had written Ace demanding the return of her dream book manuscript because of the delay in hearing from Ace—but once—since last December.)

[...] Jane seemed to leave trance quickly, yet as it developed she did not really do so. [...] Jane of course has a full account of the experience written down in her own records.

(Jane wanted information from Seth about her struggle last night with what she believed to be a thought form she had created while sleeping. [...]

(Sunday afternoon, November 5, I devoted to a long pendulum session, concerning my attitudes as related to Jane’s symptoms; it was most beneficial and rewarding, and we were anxious to have Seth’s comments on it this evening.

[...] This afternoon, incidentally, Jane and I spent in Sayre, visiting my father in the hospital, eating supper with mother, etc.

(Last Thursday, November 2, Jane received her first royalty payment from Frederick Fell for her ESP book—a substantial sum, over $250, much more than we expected.

[...] The second on the morning of Wednesday, February 10 concerns Jane’s condition and my part in it, etc. [...] Suffice it to say here that Jane’s own pendulum agreed with it in toto, and we spent a good deal of time discussing it. By suppertime Jane was getting some strong emotional reactions to parts of it. [...]

[...] I was appalled, and I suppose that from my own actions Jane was too. [...] While Jane left the room for a brief time, I asked my pendulum a question, and received this answer: “I don’t think Jane wants to get well.” [...]

[...] Jane and I were of course with Betts and Loren, my mother, and various other friends and relatives in Tunkhannock over the weekend. Jane’s condition was not good and I became very concerned.

(Seth suggested Jane leave the gallery job in the 82nd session, August 27,1964, and she soon did so. In the 92nd session, September 28,1964, Seth predicted the sale of Jane’s book on ESP by name. Today Jane signed her contract for the book, and will mail it to F. Fell tomorrow.)

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session. [...]

[...] Jane was dissociated as usual for a first delivery. [...]

[...] Jane has her classes back in action now. [...]

(Jane’s psychic work has resulted in a steady, if modest, increase in mail, and gradually we’ve fallen far behind in answering it. [...]

(Seth-Jane paused often while delivering the last sentence, obviously searching for just the right words.)

(Yet Jane is in the midst of great discomfort, whether this represents healing changes taking place within her body or not, as Seth tells us it does. [...] Our talks reminded Jane of a group of private sessions Seth gave in 1973, so she looked those over before I came out to see if she wanted a session tonight. [...]

(After last Monday night’s deleted session [on December 1], I told Jane that I wished I’d asked Seth a second question when he’d given me the chance: I’m very curious as to why I’m so fascinated by those hilltop towns in central southern Italy, inland from Naples. [...]

(“I’m taking it for granted that I can have a session,” Jane said as we sat waiting for Seth to come through at 9:13 PM, “but I sure know that I’m awfully uncomfortable.” [...]

(The following are the impressions Jane received at 10:22 while holding Don Wilbur’s watch:)

[...] She was a small woman… Jane’s impression was of a small person.

(Additional note by Rob regarding 12: Jane also had an impression of dark hair in connection with the arthritis data. [...]

[...] True, Jane’s knees have been changing quite a bit lately. [...]

[...] It has the unfortunate effect, of course, of making Jane hesitate to try getting on her feet each time, whether to change chairs, go to the john, or whatever—an effect she tries hard to counter each time. [...]

(Seth’s reference to—concerns a new Oversoul Seven book Jane has just begun. [...]

2. Seth didn’t quote Jane’s little poem exactly from 26 years ago, but paraphrased it. It’s called Echo, and Jane wrote it in 1948, when she was 19 years old. [...]

[...] When Jane and I received the transcript of his material at next week’s class, we saw that it ran to five single-spaced typewritten pages. [...]

[...] When Ruburt (as Seth calls Jane) was a young girl he wrote a poem in which he declares:

[...] After adding a few sentences of personal information for Jane, Seth ended the session at 12:07 A.M. Jane had experienced internal images while delivering some of the book material, yet hadn’t been able to get them clearly. [...]

(The next morning Jane told me that she’d been “getting stuff all night again” on “Unknown” Reality. [...] After breakfast Jane enthusiastically set to work writing about her new ideas; she plans to use them in Psychic Politics. [...]

(Now for two concluding paragraphs of commentary and reference: Jane’s statement that the four-fronted counterpart self persists outside of space and time implies a contradiction, of course — but this situation is one that we, as physical creatures, will in some manner always have to contend with when we encounter certain of Jane’s and Seth’s concepts [including that of the four-fronted counterpart self]. [...]

[...] Jane was dissociated as usual, really out, she said, as she has been all night. [...] Jane resumed in about the same energetic manner at 10:50.)

[...] Needless to say Jane and I have been lax in this field, and we are most grateful to John for his efforts.

(The arrival of two unexpected witnesses made Jane a little nervous, but the mood passed rather quickly, she told me later. [...]

(Jane has begun her psychological time experiments, though she is still not on a regular day-to-day basis. [...] It involved what Jane calls merely her “good state”. [...]

(For some material on this sensation on Jane’s part, see the 39th and 50th sessions in Volumes 1 and 2, and the attached notes. [...]

(Yesterday, deliberately, I mentioned to Jane that Seth had not given us any more material on the inner senses for many sessions. [...]

[...] We’d expected to see a long article on DMSO in the paper, written by Peggy Gallagher, but it wasn’t printed: Over the phone today Peg told Jane the article was put off until next weekend because of space limitations. [...] Much caution will be necessary, I told Jane. [...]

[...] I’ve thought about it often since last Thursday, then: Is Jane going to have to make known to herself consciously every bit of information about her symptoms before she recovers? [...]

[...] In retrospect I believe this question was triggered by remarks Jane made about insights she’d achieved through her manifesto from the Sinful Self. [...]

[...] Jane was dissociated as usual. [...] Jane at first thought it was 11:00 PM. [...] As we sat discussing the subject, Jane began to dictate again. [...]

(Saturday, June 13, Jane and I attended a cocktail party in honor of Dee Masters, who was leaving as director of the art gallery where Jane is employed part time. [...]

(By 8:50 this evening Jane was not particularly nervous. [...]

[...] So far neither Jane nor I have in any way perceived Dr. Pietra, or had any kind of experience that we would connect with him or this data. [...] Jane and I gave ourselves suggestions that we would perceive Dr. P at that time, but nothing developed.

[...] Jane was out of trance quickly. [...]

[...] At break now Jane told me she had a “flash” that my “Uncle Ernie was, or would have been, the son that Dr. Pietra would have in this reality.”

(Jane was very relaxed after supper, but she wanted to have the session. [...] Jane has had quite a few such relaxations in the past week—nearly on a daily basis, I think. [...] Jane now gets over to the breakfast table in perhaps half the time it took her when we began this series of sessions....)

The legs do not appear straighter as yet, however (which Jane has been concerned about), but the change of tempo there reflects greater inner coordination. [...]

The promise in the dream made by you, that the events (of Jane’s great flexibility)were indeed happening, represented your inner knowledge that he would make it now, and his own realization of the fact, as well as the body’s acknowledgment. [...]

(The session was witnessed by Patty Middleton, who drove down to Elmira from Ottawa, Canada, yesterday to attend Jane’s ESP class. We met Patty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September, 1970, while we were on tour for Jane’s own book, The Seth Material.

[...] Jane’s trance had been good, her pace fast, her voice quiet. During break, while the three of us tried alpha states, Jane abruptly found herself projecting.

(Today Patty filled Jane in on her studies in operant conditioning; how, with a simple Yogalike technique, monitored by an electroencephalograph, she learned to “turn on” her alpha brainwaves. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance was a good one, but she came out of it rather easily, while yawning quite a bit. The above paragraph refers to Pat Norelli in Boston; she telephoned Jane earlier this evening.

(Jane very recently had an experience while sleeping, in which she was helping Miss Callahan. Miss Callahan, deceased, did not know yet that she was dead, and Jane was explaining the situation to her. [...]

(Jane began speaking as Seth in trance at a rather rapid rate.)

(But at about 9 PM this evening Jane surprised me by suggesting a brief session. [...] All our doors and most windows were open because of the heat, yet when Jane went into trance her delivery was quite energetic, almost fast, and at times very emphatic. [...]

[...] Jane said. [...] When I asked her what she meant, Jane said she’d been blue lately, wondering what good the work on Seth’s books could do in the world.)

[...] The night had been very warm, and Jane had been bothered by the heat and humidity. [...]
