“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Re Seven III.

[...] She’d gone through the same reaction re smoking earlier in the evening. [...]

[...] The call was in response to my letter to Nancy on October 22, re Tam telling Jane that Pocket Books had published the paperback edition of Seven II. [...]

[...] Is there something he’d say in a session that could be any worse than what we’re dealing with everyday in our lives? [...]

[...] Nor do we like to substitute “it,” since it’s neuter and devoid of feeling as far as we’re concerned. We also don’t want to become involved with rewriting Seth’s material: We’re sure that when he produces passages cast in the male gender, his intentions are anything but prejudiced in favor of that sex.

[...] But in the meantime there follows a summary of C B’s comments re the data via the telephone.

(C B couldn’t offer anything re “coming through the rye.”)

[...] As you’ll see later, however, I do think that these abilities are attributes of another portion of our personalities with which we’re relatively unfamiliar. [...]

“Hon, you’re out of your mind. [...]

[...] “But you’re interested in dreams, certainly after those two particular ones you had. [...]

[...] My attitude was, “Well, let’s get this out of the way so we can really get down to the things we’re interested in, like telepathy and clairvoyance.” [...]

[...] “Once again,” I said, “whatever it is, I know you’ll accept it, since it’s the reality you’re creating. [...]

(“We’re not going to get any specifics, is that it?”

[...] “Funny — not that we’re going to come up with new words, but some new ideas. [...]

[...] “I knew what I was saying when I said it, but I’ve forgotten it all now …” She paused, then continued in a way I thought somewhat unusual for her: “We’re doing the best we can with what abilities we’ve got. [...]

[...] Prentice-Hall will publish it in July, 1974. Jane and I still have to correct page proofs for the book, however; they’re due from the printer next month.

[...] They’re of islands,” Jane said at 9:40. [...]

[...] “I do think we’re going to lose readers along the way, though — this book’s getting too hard to follow. [...]

[...] We do intend to move out of our two apartments early next year, as soon as I finish the illustrations for Jane’s Dialogues — that is, we’re going to start looking for a house we can buy.

[...] Now when either of us picks up the telephone we’re prepared to talk to a person from any part of the country. [...]

(Interesting, that we’re not supposed to focus now on the problem, but yet are to study and discuss the old material.... [...] In the short run, our troubles with Prentice-Hall lately, especially those revolving around Tam’s decision to leave Prentice full time, have touched off Jane’s latest poor reactions re her hips and legs. [...]

[...] She wanted to have it, though, especially to get more information re Framework 2. Her entire right side, especially in the head-neck area, has been undergoing profound changes, today and during previous days. [...]

(At the very least, the fact that we’re even concentrating on greater sales marks a great improvement for us, a great change of attitude.)

(Seth here refers to the psychic experiences Joanie had been describing to us, and doesn’t go into any detail re the lettuce.

[...] I know that to some we’re sure to have appeared slow in putting to use much of the material, but in a most basic respect we’re way ahead in the situation: If we hadn’t almost instantaneously begun to encourage the flow of information from Seth when Jane started to express it some 18 years ago, and to write it down, then it wouldn’t even exist—at least in its present form. [...]

[...] We’re telling ourselves that that little challenge will automatically work itself out at the right time. [...]

[...] We’re angry and dismayed. [...]

[...] They’re very easy for Jane to check, compared to those for her other books.

[...] He also hung another heavy door at the living-room entrance to the hall; we’re to keep that one closed at night. [...]

[...] As a society we’re generally not organized that way to begin with. [...]

[...] I only hoped Seth was correct about her feet, for indeed they’re more enlarged than ever, especially the right foot.

[...] “Sometimes when we’re supposed to have a session I don’t feel him at all,” she said. [...]

[...] Jane has scanned portions of it and found it excellent; we’re surprised that we haven’t heard of it before, especially in light of Pierce’s two bestsellers on The Crack in the Cosmic Egg. [...]

(Jane has felt somewhat better the last couple of days, and I’ve been hoping that what we’re learning is “responsible” for that improvement. [...]

[...] As I asked Paul O’Neill last month: “How do you be objective about something when you’re inside of it?”)

[...] Among other things, Jane wrote later: “I thought Rob was saying—when you’re completely recovered, etc we’ll take trips. Symbolism: When you’re good enough.” [...]

[...] I want 10 minutes of simple exercises to re-educate the muscles. [...]

[...] As I wrote in Note 2 for the first session of Mass Events, which Seth-Jane gave a week ago, we’re having the front porch of our hill house rebuilt. [...]

[...] Still, we can try to minimize such dependency (as Jane and I do now), and to avoid taking shots simply because they’re “in vogue.”

[...] They’re often only partially effective, and can cause a variety of side effects: reactions ranging from the temporary to the permanent or fatal. [...]
