“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Long pause.) In this book, we do want our readers to look at body and mind in a different fashion.

[...] It also represents the simple thanks of readers. [...]

Our art can help alter people’s views of themselves, change the mental conditions and the psychic atmosphere of our readers. [...]

[...] This applies to each person, each reader. [...]

(10:55.) The ideas presented in this book should allow many readers to expand their perceptions and consciousness in ways they may not have believed possible. [...]

[...] Over the telephone three days later, Tam suggested that Jane do a children’s book, or one for “readers of all ages,” based on her dream about Emir;² the next day he called again, this time to give her the delightful news that he’d accepted James for publication.

[...] It was triggered by a visit we had recently from a reader who obviously had strong tendencies toward paranoia. [...]

2. I’ll remind the reader that Jane has already received inspiration and material for two books from her amazingly creative dream state: her novel, The Education of Oversoul Seven, and James. [...]

[...] But often readers have been afraid to admit publicly that they have found truth in metaphysical sources. [...]

Each reader, being presently ensconced within a physical form, I presume (humorously), knows only a small portion of himself — as I mentioned earlier. [...]

I am not advising my readers to refuse to have their children vaccinated, since you now have to take vaccination into consideration because of the prominence of it in society. [...]

(Long pause.) Each person is so unique that it is obviously impossible for me to discuss all of the innumerable and complicated strands of belief that form human experience — yet I hope here, some way, to present enough “specific generalizations” so that you the reader can find many points of application as far as your own life is concerned.

(“Your readers certainly don’t expect that of you,” I said, explaining that I was keeping in mind Seth’s recent statement that both of us had decided upon our joint experiences, wanting and not wanting the symptoms at the same time. “Your readers write asking for help with the idea that you’ve managed to solve certain challenges that they’re still struggling with....” [...]

[...] No, I told her, I thought it was an excellent title, and that it said exactly what she wanted the reader to know.¹

I may have slipped up, but I do not think so: I do not believe I gave the information about you and George in book dictation (for “Unknown” Reality), in order to keep the material simple enough for the reader. [...]

[...] Besides, that would put an unnecessary burden on the reader, who might feel he or she needed a particular vocabulary. [...]

[...] I thank them — just as I thank each and every one of you, dear readers, for your past, present, and future contributions. [...]

(“With this book: you would see to it that you introduced yourself to the uninitiated reader, giving the necessary background and introductory material from the very start.”)

(Smile.) I would of course provide the reader with a statement of my own background, and to some extent compare my attitudes toward your system of reality, for when I lived within it my opinions were far different than they are now.

[...] I made notes on most of what she had to say; it’s presented as Appendix 5, and I suggest that the reader review it before continuing with this session.

[...] I think readers would be interested.” [...]

2. See Jane’s own material in Appendix 5. However, while studying Seth in this session — as well as the notes presented during break at 11:26 — it’s a good idea for the reader to keep both appendixes 4 and 5 in mind.

[...] A number of Jane’s readers have sent me communications they claim to have received for me from Jane in her after-death state. [...] But since I believe the Seth Material is valid, it would be very arrogant of me to think that none of Jane’s readers except me had legitimately tuned into her where she is now or perhaps touched upon her world view.

[...] It would also be nice for the many readers of Jane’s books to have a chance to hear from her partner, who so beautifully and critically assisted in the birthing of the Seth books.

[...] First, though, I remind the reader that Jane spoke in a trance or dissociated state for a discarnate personality who calls himself Seth; by his own definition he’s an “energy personality essence,” no longer focused within physical reality. [...]

Aside from the obvious reassurances Jane is quoted as offering to me, as a physical creature, I could comment extensively upon some of the other points she makes — especially the two I briefly refer to below; the reader may enlarge upon portions of the message also, depending upon what he or she understands of the Seth-Jane philosophy. [...]

3. Although this is the first session for Mass Events in which Seth had discussed Framework 1 and Framework 2, at the moment Jane and I are a good deal more familiar with his ideas concerning those fields of action than the reader is; see the opening notes for the last (814th) session. [...]

My piece is naturally tailored to my own beliefs and needs, of course, and some of its implications may become clearer to readers as Seth continues with his framework material in Mass Events. [...]

[...] Chapter five of the dream book contains suggested experiments for the reader to try, involving waking and dreaming states and their interchange, etc. On the object itself, the word try is used twice in Jane’s notes, having to do with the reader’s attempt to manipulate dreams. [...]

[...] Chapter five of the dream book of course contains many invitations to the reader to try various experiments listed, to communicate back and forth between the waking and dreaming states, etc. [...]

[...] Sometimes it seems he would prefer even a smaller but more select group of readers (with amusement)—readers who were tops in their fields, or who in one fashion or another earned his respect. The point is that our books reach all kinds of readers in all walks of life. [...]

[...] All such incidents, I told Jane, reinforce individual actions on the part of readers that would be quite rejected by the establishment: further signs of how far outside accepted thought Jane has found herself over the years. [...]

I am pleased with the beginning of my chapter, for I think I have hit upon an analogy, and a true one, that will release the reader from the artificial bondage of physical form. [...]
