“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

One can have a lot of fun with numbers. [...] This elapsed time includes more than a few weeks during which she gave no book dictation at all, of course, but I was curious to get an approximate idea of the number of hours she actually spent in producing the entire work.

[...] Yet Jane isn’t particularly turned on by dates, session numbers, information about footnotes, and some of the other material I’ll be discussing here.

As in Seth Speaks and Personal Reality, the usual notes are presented at break times, but I’ve indicated the points of origin of what would ordinarily be footnotes by using consecutive (superscription) numbers within the text of each session; then I’ve grouped the actual notes at the end of the session for quick reference. [...]

[...] Things can get complicated, though, and at times while preparing these volumes I found myself wondering just how to make clear certain points of reference without leaving the reader confused by dates, session numbers, or other matter. [...]

(By his own definition Seth is no longer a physical being, although he’s told us he’s lived a number of previous lives; thus, ideas of reincarnation enter into his material. Mass Events is the sixth¹ book that Seth has produced — all of them with Jane’s active cooperation, obviously, as well as my own, since I write down his material verbatim, then add my own notes. [...] According to him, these “entity names” mean only that in our present lives we identify more with the male aspects of our entities, or whole selves — which in themselves are neither male or female, but contain within them a number of other selves [of both sexes] to whom we’re related, or a part of, reincarnationally and otherwise.

[...] Much of this is on a predictive basis: The scientists “predict” how many people might be “attacked” by, say, a virus that has caused a given number of deaths. [...]

2. I don’t mean to confuse the reader by using the titles of Seth’s “old” books, but rather to show how Jane’s and my work encompasses a number of projects at once. [...]

This reconstruction of the past can be both fascinating and frustrating as I compare dates, session numbers, and our daily activities. [...]

[...] In August of that year — 1985 — she moved to Elmira to work with me in a number of ways. [...]

[...] Tam was a great help in a number of ways. [...]

[...] The animals’ instincts and their natural situations kept their numbers in bounds; and with unconscious, unknowing courtesy they made room for all others.

[...] It follows the unconscious order that is within it even as there is a definite order, relationship and limit to the number of chromosomes. [...]

The number 4. Several events happening together, or a series of objects strung together on the object. [...]

(“How about the number 4?”)

[...] Usually one can make a connection with a number, without knowing whether it is correct. [...]

(“The number 4.” [...]

[...] If you do not meet face-to-face with people, for example, in clubs or organizations, you communicate with a far greater number, each of you, and jointly. [...]

[...] I am not clear here: 4, 2, and one or two other numbers, and something drive, you see—the name of a road or location. [...]

An association connected with the number four. [...]

(Regarding the data on page 260: John made no connections about a party, the numbers 4, 2 and one or two others, and something drive, the name of a road or location.

[...] When the sessions don’t work out that way I can feel somewhat uneasy, while realizing at the same time that a number of compensating factors may be at work. [...]

(So we’ve decided to simply go along with however Mass Events works out in terms of length, whether that length involves time or the number of sessions. [...]

(As of now: I’m practically through with the appendixes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality — which means I still have a number of notes to write for the book’s sessions per se, as well as much work to do for the Introductory Notes and the Epilogue. [...]

[...] Numbers of sitters are not important as numbers. [...]

Simply note this: 5 and 7 and Tennessee, the 5 and 7 the numbers of letters in a name. [...]

The number of remembered dreams should be much higher than your present system allows. [...]

[...] I believe Ruburt’s top number of recalled dreams for one night was thirteen. [...]

[...] Again, if preferable we want to record the dreams in the sequence in which they occur, so that the self-suggestion should always include “I will recall the first three dreams,” or the first five dreams or whatever number you arbitrarily chose to begin.

[...] In our opinion tonight’s session did, however, and for a number of reasons that will become obvious as it’s read. [...]

[...] We’ve had 31 private or nonbook sessions since then, and a number of them contain information on Frameworks 1 and 2 — much of it relevant to that presented in Mass Events. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

(Long pause.) [Each of] you, with your beliefs and intents, tell the inner ego which of an infinite number of probable events you want to encounter. [...]

[...] The magnitude of the physical stimuli with which you are surrounded makes it possible, of course, for any number of like situations to come to your physical attention during any given day. [...]

Now, form number one will spring out of an ordinary dream state. In spontaneous projections you may become conscious in form number one, legitimately project, return to the ordinary dream state, and project again several times. [...]

The excursions with form number one will be of your own system, and largely connected to the earth, although past, present and future may be involved. [...] This is at least possible, you see, using form number one.

[...] No such sequences appear on the postcard, although the individual numbers do.

[...] If this data is connected with the numbers above, we miss the connection. [...]

[...] The numbers appear, separated, on the back of the object, but that is all we can offer here.

[...] The number three is connected here, but I am not sure how. [...]

[...] Several of the ulcers had been incipient for a number of months, although neither of us had realized what those circles of reddening flesh meant as they slowly blossomed on the “pressure points” of her buttocks, coccyx, and right shoulder blade. [...]

[...] And now, we just have to wait an unknown number of weeks or months for the thyroid treatment to rejuvenate her vitality. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) I was placed in a CAT scanner, my bare backside pressed painfully against a cold metal table, my head encircled by the strange doughnut, or globe, while bright white lights and numbers, it seemed, flashed everywhere. [...]

[...] She felt she’d beaten a number of negative suggestions from medical personnel in connection with all of those afflictions.)

[...] With the numbers four three, and an automotive establishment.

[...] This too was from the offices of F. Fell, written the same day as letter # 2, and was a simple note from an Emma Hesse, of the bookkeeping department, requesting that Jane send in her social security number for tax purposes. [...]

(“With the numbers four three”, was also general. [...]

The four three refers to the age, either of Rhoda Monks, or the man who sent the request for the social security number. [...]

[...] During her periods of relaxation she gained a number of insights about herself, her challenges and physical condition. [...]

(When Jane said she wanted to have a session, her voice was quite unsteady in trance, and I had to ask her to repeat a number of words.)
