“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The consciousness of each reader of this book existed before the universe was formed—in parentheses: (in your terms)—but that consciousness was unmanifest. [...]

This balance is to a large extent responsible for the fact that the material reaches so many people, and your own joint characteristics in that regard are more obvious to your readers than to yourselves. [...]

[...] She wrote it on November 7, 1979, almost a month before delivering Session 886 for Chapter 2 of Dreams (in Volume 1) on December 3. I suggest that in connection with the poem the reader review the opening paragraphs of that session.

[...] It was also designed to make the reader think of his own questions. [...]

I would suggest Joseph, that when you find the time, or if you can coerce Ruburt into doing it for you, insert here for any reader’s convenience a copy of the early material, in which I set up the imagined structure of mazes.

[...] A reader had sent it to us, asking for Seth’s autograph. [...]

[...] After considering the alternatives Seth suggested immediately following last break I decided to leave his delivery in place in the session as a guide for the reader; parallels can be drawn with many other situations, I think having nothing to do with art or houses.

[...] Here I’ll not only remind the reader of the sessions in which Seth described the characteristics of each family, but will try to summarize in a few words the overall function of each one.

I’ve devoted some time and space to the early Seth sessions so that the reader could become acquainted with part of the material as it was given to us. [...]

[...] As our readership grew, as you heard from readers or from some members of the media or whatever, it seemed to Ruburt that what he did best—have sessions, write his books—was not enough, that he was expected to do far more. [...]

[...] We think that every reader of this book has benefited, and still does, from animal experimentation, some of it most cruel, in ways that he or she can hardly suspect, let alone specify: even benefiting from the use of animals in the study of medical and chemical, beauty and recreational products that can be found in practically every home in the country. [...]

[...] Falsifications were often put in simply to lead any readers astray if the books fell in the wrong hands.

(“In this book, Seth leads the reader beyond conventional ideas of good and evil to a new framework of understanding. [...]

1. I suggest that in connection with this note the reader review the 891st session for December 26, 1979, in Chapter 3 for Volume 1 of Dreams, where Seth referred to the American hostage affair as “a materialized mass dream.”

[...] What I would like each reader to do is to sit quietly. [...]

[...] Now I want to briefly summarize for the reader two subjects — “house connections” and ESP class — that have been mentioned often in the sessions for Section 6. See notes 13 and 14.)

[...] I merely want to remind the reader that in ordinary terms naïve realism, or some mind-brain idea very much like it, is habitually used whether we’re considering evolution within a time-oriented camouflage universe, painting a picture, or running a household. [...]

2. As I wrote in the Introductory Notes for Volume I of “Unknown” Reality, “I think it important to periodically remind the reader of certain of Seth’s basic ideas throughout both volumes….” [...]

20. I remind the reader that an agnostic (as I think Charles Darwin was) is one who believes the mind can know only physical phenomena, and not whether there are final realities, causes, or gods. [...]

[...] As the reader studies those particular sessions, he or she will quickly see how counterpart ideas fit in with the subject matter of Appendix 12.

(In connection with the flood material in this session and the next one, we refer the reader once again to the notes for the 613th session in Chapter One.)

[...] Few of my readers possess such conscious knowledge, yet the majority speak quite well.

[...] As Ruburt knows she was a Christian Scientist and a reader. [...]

(Humorously, leaning forward): You are my first reader.
