[...] SETH’S PREFACE:
“THE MANUFACTURE OF PERSONAL REALITY”
APRIL 5, 1972 9:29 PM WEDNESDAY

[...] Seth prefaced this by saying something about “I see a breathing difficulty.” He went on to say that Ruburt was upset at this information, and that her relatively early death simply meant she had to work harder in this life. [...]

[...] It’s late October 1985 as I begin this Preface for her Seth, Dreams and Projection of Consciousness. As I have informed many correspondents, Jane died at 2:08 A.M. on Wednesday, September 5, 1984, after spending 504 consecutive days in a hospital in Elmira, N. Y. I was with her when she died. [...]

As the physical time passed, however, I began wanting to do a little formal writing about Jane’s death, so last month when Jim Young of Stillpoint Publishing gave me the chance to do so in this Preface for Seth, Dreams … I accepted at once.

[...] However, I liked both Jim’s ideas of my doing the Preface for Jane’s book, and of publishing a photo of her. [...]

As soon as I took Jim Young up on his word that I could make whatever statement I want to about Jane’s work, I knew that this Preface would contain relatively little about Seth, Dreams and Projection of Consciousness itself, and I wrote to Jim about this. [...]

3. Seth’s material here reminded me of what Jane had told me last week about her own objectified perception of information; see her quoted notes prefacing the 694th session for May 1.

4. In the Preface for Volume 1 of Dreams, see Session 881, with its Note 1. Then I suggest a review in chapters 1 and 2 of all of the material pertinent to evolution and creationism.

[...] See my notes on the book idea prefacing the regular portion of this session. [...]

[...] He gave it in the 832nd session for Chapter 5 of Mass Events (on January 29, 1979), and I quoted it in the Preliminary Notes to the Preface for Dreams: “Nature in all of its varieties is so richly encountered by the animals….”

(A number of events, foremost among them the death of Jane’s mother after an illness of many years, caused us to lay these sessions aside after Seth finished his preface on April 10. [...]

— no Preface. [...]

[...] [See the notes prefacing the 736th session.]

[...] (See Seth’s Preface, as well as the 615th session in Chapter Two.)

[...] See my brief notes on this prefacing the 206th session.)

[...] This confirms my own speculations about the timing of her visit; see the notes prefacing the 573rd session in Chapter Eighteen.

[...] Perhaps, I thought when putting together the Preface for Dreams, I just wanted to use some of our later material in the new book.

[...] This session is prefaced with my notes of two pendulum sessions I held with myself. [...]

Jane, then, wrote those two poems 16 days before she dictated the last session for Seth’s The Nature of the Psyche on April 4, 1977; one month before she began dictating Mass Events on April 18, 1977; two years and two months before she began God of Jane on May 6, 1979; two years and six months before she began dictating the Preface for Dreams on September 25, 1979; two years and eight months before she came up with the idea for If We Live Again on November 15, 1979; three years and five months before she began dictating Seth’s material on the magical approach to reality in Dreams on August 6, 1980; four years before she began dictating Seth’s sinful-self material in that book on March 11, 1981; four years and three months before she began coming through with her own sinful-self information on June 17, 1981; and four years and five months before, on August 26, 1981, she wrote the poem in Note 6 for Session 936 of Dreams: “Something in me / ebbs and tides, / as if I let myself / for a while / be washed away / out to sea / while leaving / some spidery shell / upon the shore /….”

[...] Perhaps her method of presentation was in keeping with Seth’s own pronouncement at the beginning of his Preface, almost three months ago: “This book will be my most ambitious project thus far. [...]

[...] Then in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, Seth refers to Adventures on occasion, while I give information about it in Note 3 for his Preface, and Note 5 for Session 680, among others.

6. When this session was held, on the first of February, 1974, Jane was ready to begin the final draft of her manuscript for Adventures. In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see Note 3 for Seth’s Preface.

[...] A few notes about it preface the 206th Session. [...]
