“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(End of personal data at 10:03.)

(Our suspicions entered in, however, when Jane and I realized that between us [and including each other] we were personally acquainted with nine counterparts: All but one of them [Alan Koch] were class members. [...]

End of dictation — some personal remarks. [...]

The personalities possess a keen resiliency of both body and mind, and serve as a strong earth stock. [...]

[...] I see such connections as symbols running through our personal experiences.

The present owner, even, of the Foster house thinks of it as “work,” since she herself is a … working [real estate] person. [...]

[...] It’s also important to keep in mind what Seth told us in his first delivery for the 735th session: “Each personality carries traces of other characteristics besides those of the family of consciousness to which he or she might belong … A book would be needed to explain the dimensions of the psyche in relationship to the various families of consciousness.”

[...] Sue Watkins, a member of Jane’s ESP class and our personal friend, has been very helpful; she has loaned me books on the period so that I could be sure of historical references.

Now these were men filled out like sails with the energy of their roles, yet they had to have the personality characteristics of their time. [...]

[...] I could sympathize with their writers, though, for each one had communicated with us out of a deep need, and is searching for insight into the creation of a personal and mass reality. [...]

1. We called those three very penetrating sessions private, or deleted, because they grew out of our own reactions to David Yoder’s challenges, to the illness of our cat Billy, to the playful antics of Billy’s littermate Mitzi, and to several other personal matters. [...]

[...] Jane said this stems from the last time she personally saw Marjorie; this was perhaps five weeks ago when Jane was job hunting; this activity of Jane crops up later in the data also. [...]

[...] I personally am not familiar with it. [...]

[...] While our heroine is shown taking a shower on the first two pages of the comic story, the villain is shown skulking outside her apartment window via a fire escape, then reaching in through an open window to tamper with some of the heroine’s personal effects. [...]

(It will be remembered that these sessions began two years ago through our contacting a personality called Frank Watts, who was superseded by Seth in the fourth session. [...]

(Now Ruburt’s personal association with this last impression is of your brother Loren and his wife. [...]

Now: in The Nature of Personal Reality we discussed the nature of private beliefs. [...]

[...] You (pointing to me) do not believe that nature is hostile, nor does Ruburt, but you both accept the concept that there are hostile elements against which you must protect yourselves, and that the artist or writer, or any sensitive wise person is at a great disadvantage against a system in which he is born, and that he is to some extent at its mercy.

While you believe that death represents the end of personal consciousness, then death must indeed seem the ultimate tragedy or surrender. [...]

[...] Personally, I’d not try it for fear of prying, nor do I think Jane would.

Again, according to your belief structure, such diets can be extremely beneficial, particularly in the short run—but if the person involved forever places—

The knowledge is usually hidden for many reasons, but the fact of death, personal death, is never forgotten. [...]

[...] Many people actually speak louder to older persons, whether or not they have any hearing difficulties at all.

(Pause.) Your dreams involving worries about sexuality actually represented, of course, worries about your worth as a contributing person, your sex and work being thus equated. [...]

[...] There are also, again, highly gifted people, physically or mentally, people who seem to be at times as far from the ordinary person on the gifted scale as an idiot might be [on] the other. [...]

[...] Part of this is personal, but part is also cultural, and shows the one area of cultural beliefs from which Ruburt has not freed himself. [...]

[...] Work — very noisy work, which is to continue for a year — is now underway to replace it.] In Chapter Eighteen, Seth explains the emotional origins of Agnes as a whole, and our personal behavior within it.

[...] When we reach that state, I personally find myself thinking that the sessions make little difference one way or the other. [...]

I will answer any questions that you have, personal or otherwise, or you may end the session as you prefer.

[...] There is personal material that we do not seem to have time for, as I want to continue developing our basic material. [...]
