“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As earlier mentioned (at 10:20 in the 637th session), and simply following the analogy, each self has its own soul within the oversoul, and the oversoul is itself a part of the entity’s multidimensional structure.

(Even though I said yes, at first break I checked the dictionary definition for oversoul, just in case it might lead me to ask Seth for more clarification. The dictionary discussed the oversoul as the spirit infusing all living things, resulting in the perfect realization of an ideal nature. This is a concept in the nineteenth-century transcendentalist philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson⁵ and others.)

I can see that my analogy comparing the soul to an organ within a multidimensional psychic structure of the entity is confusing you. We will clear it up by comparing the same properties, changing the word “soul” to read “oversoul.”

(Jane started Oversoul Seven in late March, 1972. She finished Oversoul Seven in late July, 1972.)

Oversoul Seven and Cyprus do exist, though in different terms than he may imagine them, and the whole episode allows him to work creatively with fiction, and creatively with his psychic abilities.

[...] 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.

Ruburt himself, unconsciously but also to some extent consciously, has been more intrigued with questions concerning consciousness and personality — the role of the ego consciousness, for example — since beginning his novel, Oversoul 7 (in late March, 1972).

[...] In a different way so is Oversoul 7 as he thinks of it.

But beside this, as Seth was dictating this present book, I also found myself suddenly writing a novel, The Education of Oversoul 7, which was produced more or less automatically. Oversoul Seven, the main character, achieved his own kind of reality. [...]

The Sumari development, along with the experiences connected with The Education of Oversoul 7 and The Nature of Personal Reality, brought up so many questions that I was forced to seek a larger framework in which to understand what was happening. [...]

[...] Jane feared the book, which she regards as the beginning of Oversoul Seven, would be lost in a tiny printing. [...]

[...] Oversoul Seven is also involved in some fashion, especially the movie aspects —for when Jane called Eleanor Friede to offer her Emir, Eleanor told Jane she was about to call her about Seven, the call having to do with possible motion picture connotations, through a well-known screenwriter; that is the kind of event intertwined with the whole affair; nor have Jane and Eleanor contacted each other for probably a couple of years.

[...] Clare Townsend of 20th Century-Fox called Tam today and asked about seeing the manuscript of Jane’s second Oversoul Seven book, which Jane has just begun typing. [...]

[...] After I mess around with a few plots for switch; then do some on Oversoul. [...]

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

Oversoul will be followed by another.

[...] This will not necessarily be the case with Oversoul Seven. [...]

Now there is a connection between Oversoul 7, and the young, sometimes bungling young soul—Ruburt’s creative sparkling, spontaneous self and Aerofranz. [...]

[...] And Seven (Oversoul 7) will also be mentioned.

(11:33 PM.) Ruburt has been worried about the sale of Oversoul Seven, and also waiting for the paperback—afraid that after all the book might be late in its printing.

Many ideas are being presented in Oversoul Seven to get around that difficulty. [...]

[...] Oversoul Seven is Jane’s sci-fi character.)

[...] Then Jane, in a typical burst of inspiration the next day, began writing her third Seven book: Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time.

[...] Jane suggested I send her a copy of Oversoul Seven. [...]

[...] She’s worked each day at her third novel on The Adventures of Oversoul Seven, and has heard often from Sue Watkins about Sue’s progress with her book on Jane’s ESP class: Conversations with Seth and with all of her other activities. [...]

[...] Even now she could only link the release of her very creative Sumari attributes, the singing poetry, and prose [as embodied in her novel, Oversoul Seven, for instance], with Seth’s reference to psychic families as well as physical ones.

1. Much Sumari material can be found in Chapter 7 of Jane’s Adventures, and in the Appendix of her novel, The Education of Oversoul Seven.

[...] The 15 three-ring binders containing her poems, all neatly typed, for example; her essays and journals; other blocks of unpublished Seth material, one of which I mentioned in the Introduction; an unfinished autobiography that perhaps I could put into publishable shape; likewise, passages from an unfinished fourth Oversoul Seven novel, in which Jane dealt with Seven’s childhood; a book of her paintings, with commentary; several early novels that I still believe merit publishing. [...]

One small note: the book about Oversoul Seven is writing itself, so to speak, while you are devoting yourselves to these sessions. [...]

[...] A note: Lately she’s been working on a sequel to her novel, The Education of Oversoul 7, which she finished early in July, 1972. [See Jane’s Introduction, and Chapter One.] The new book is called, appropriately enough, The Further Education of Oversoul 7.)

[...] Preparing Oversoul Seven gives him a good point of concentration, yet beyond that he should allow himself the leisure and pleasure of playing with concepts, with poetry, and even with painting. [...]
