“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I told her that it looked as though Seth used my newspaper incident to actually summarize in capsule form much of the material he’s been giving us in this latest group of private sessions. [...]

[...] Since it’s private, it might not be published any time soon otherwise.

[...] It reflects and rereflects through millions of homes the giant dreams and fears, the hopes and terrors of events in the most private individual.

[...] In a manner of speaking, no act is private. [...]

(The private material below is from the 858th session, but it came through first in the session instead of at the end, for a change.

[...] In another way they contain deep and private insights, ranging from her free, marveling childhood yearning and intuitive knowing up to her present physically impaired condition—her arthritic-like “symptoms,” as we call them—and beyond to the final state of her work after her death. [...]

(At about 8 PM Jane said she would like to try having a session this evening —whether private or regular she didn’t know. [...]

[...] You become afraid of your private interpretation of whatever reality you find yourself experiencing.

Ruburt has thus far insisted upon his private vision and his unique expression of the unknown reality as he experiences it, and so he brings back bulletins that do not agree with the conventional psychic line.

[...] When Seth talked about Jane’s private psychic vision he reminded me of her own remarks on the same subject; see the notes opening the 713th session.

[...] It seemed to have a more private nature, and only gradually, in those terms, did it become publicly shared.

[...] It was necessary because he believed that the spontaneous self, left alone, would not so concentrate—or that his spontaneous self would not, but would also be tempted by whatever other private pursuits. [...]

[...] The psychologist, the priest, the physicist, the philosopher or the guru, can explain your own psyche to you only insofar as those specialists can forget that they are specialists, and deal directly with the private psyche from which all specializations come.

[...] As physical creatures, they focused upon what you think of as physical identities: separate, individual differences, endowing each physical consciousness with its own original variations and creative potentials, its own opportunity for completely original experience, and a viewpoint or platform from which to participate in reality—one that at that level could not be experienced in the same way by any other individual (all very intently). This is [the] privileged, always new, private and immediate, direct experience of any individual of any species, or of any degree, as it encounters the objective universe.

[...] Never before, in your terms, has the private person been able to see a picture of the mass world in such a way, or been forced to identify with the policies of his or her government. [...]

[...]

[...]

(As is usually the case in our private sessions, Jane’s Seth voice was only a little deeper than her own regular one. [...]

For a long-term arrangement, private classes, if they work financially, would be more beneficial.

Summertime may or may not be a good time to begin private classes. [...]

[...] Most of the private sessions we have in those 40 loose-leaf notebooks, about her symptoms, are the result of my pushing her for answers, not the other way around.

[...] Your earlier experiments were private. [...]

[...] Ideally it is his play as well, and his books serve as his own characteristic kind of public expression, fulfilling the most private and the most public poles of his psychological activity. [...]

(Long pause.) In such engagements, however, for him at least, that necessary private threshold is crossed, endangered. [...]

[...] Seth himself had referred to her dilemma in the excerpt I’ve taken from the private session for January 26, 1981, very well.

[...] (Pause.) It will serve to inspire others, but each person is responsible for his or her own life, and Ruburt does not have a private clientele, nor is he temperamentally suited to use his psychic abilities to track people down or to serve as a therapist. [...]

(It’s hard for us to believe that five and a half weeks have passed following Jane’s last regularly scheduled session, the 906th for March 6. She’s held but one private session, on April 9, since.

3. See the Preface for Dreams. In the notes immediately preceding the private session for September 13, 1979, I quoted some of the very evocative material on animal cultures and civilizations that Seth had given in Chapter 5 of Mass Events.

[...] So there was a good division set up between his intellectual-respectable-to-him masculine aspects, and his intuitive, feminine, private aspects.

[...] This also has something to do with your private lives, for the feminine portions of that nature can quite easily be frightened into not showing themselves through the monthly function—that is so utterly spontaneous, so mysterious to the intellect, and the one main sign by which the female monthly shows her difference from the male.

Exterior religious dramas are important and valuable only to the extent that they faithfully reflect the nature of inner, private spiritual existence. [...]

[...] Not only privately but en masse they surged up, adding a new impetus and giving a natural “new” direction — beginning to call all portions of the self, as it knew itself, together.

[...] Yet the immensities of your own abilities speak in your dreams, in your private moments, as even inaudibly in the knowledge of your own molecules.

To admit his purpose, however, to bring it out into the open, would mean for Ruburt a private and public statement of affiliation such as he was not able to make earlier. [...]

8. See the 686th session in Volume 1; then see Jane’s material on other- than-usual neurological messages and speeds in appendixes 4 and 5. And (later) I add here a paragraph from the private session Seth held for us on May 1, 1974 — 10 days after he’d finished his work on “Unknown” Reality:
