“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] A recorder or record player: in particular, three women and a man. [...]

[...] The way that this is done has been discussed often and is on record in the material. [...]

(And, of course, recording the thousands of pages of the Seth material in my meticulous way for over 20 years surely reflects a large portion of the Nebene psyche: keeping his own “purified” translations of ancient records.)

His methods worked very well in the transcription of his records, and purified his translations. [...]

In dealing with these records he was suspicious of creativity, for he feared it could lead to original alterations where instead a literal interpretation was important. [...]

The dilemma was, here now, between truth—a literal translation of ancient records—or a creative approach which could lead to falsification, so he was highly suspicious of the creativity in himself. [...]

Now, who is taking the record this evening and who has been taking records for class? [...]

[...] This afternoon I dropped in to talk about this incident with Jane & Rob; in the course of the conversation we decided that I should bring the tape of that class to their apartment this evening, stay on for the session, and record it and type it up.

[...] Besides that, my recording of the Sumari personality was poor and I had to stop at Fred and Pete’s [class members] to get their tape, and I didn’t arrive at Jane & Rob’s until 9 PM. [...]

[...] And our record-keeper over here (me) will also understand what you are doing.

To obtain this verbatim record: In the first few sessions Jane and I sat facing each other with the board on our laps, and with a desk close beside me on the right. [...]

[...] We have also begun to experiment using a tape recorder.

[...] Often during that time, and for some time afterward, the records are rather unreliable. [...]

The records would show one reign of one pope; but one, two, or even three different men may have filled the position. [...]

[...] But this time, she thought, she’d been alert: When she realized that the material was “running through her,” as she often puts it [meaning she isn’t aware of Seth’s presence], she sat up, turned on a night light, and began to record the data on the pad she keeps on her bedside table. [...] She had dreamed the recording part of the experience.)

(A note: as of now my original single and/or double spaced typewritten record of the Seth material is 4,636 pages long. [...]

[...] This amounts to a bleed-through, and I use the term purposely, for your recorder can serve us here in an analogy.

[...] Your recorder has four channels. [...]

[...] Now on your recorder I believe you have a setting for stereo. [...]

[...] We are not dealing however with anything as simple as a mechanical recorder, for our tapes, in analogy, are constantly changing.

(The 75th envelope experiment used as object the employee record stub from Jane’s first check as a substitute high school teacher. [...] I placed the record between the usual double Bristols, then sealed it in double envelopes.

[...] The envelope object is the employee pay record from her check for this first day’s work.

[...] Since all the students were new to her each time, she had to depend on their help to keep her records straight. [...]

[...] The object is an accounting of Jane’s earnings, and a schedule of when she earned the money, etc., since it is an employee’s pay record from the Elmira school system.

[...] What I have recorded here is done with the utmost effort towards objectivity. [...] We are engaged in it and with it, and we record what we learn. [...]

I would also suggest before the session ends that you ask Mark once more what he saw, for the record, as well as including the excellent representation of me in the record. [...]

(I will have photocopies of the two drawings made for insertion into the carbon copies of this record. [...]

[...] He has expressed neither belief nor disbelief; he has also listened to part of the tape recording we made of Jane when delivering the 25th session. [...]

[...] As a preliminary to the instructions I have given you, for 7 days he should give himself dream suggestions, and on several occasions, though not every night, tell himself that he will awaken after a dream and record it.

(To me:) Before you sleep, simply imagine your open dreambook in the morning, with the dreams recorded. [...]

[...] Following Seth’s instructions, I recorded several dreams over the next couple of nights after this session; the first I have been able to recall in many weeks. [...]

Dawn is breaking.
Why should I lie in bed
worrying about my body or the world?
Before time was recorded
dawn has followed dusk
and all the creatures of the earth
have been couched
in the loving context
of their times.

[...] It includes additional information on several topics already mentioned in the book proper, such as coordination points, biblical times and records, objects as symbols, reincarnation, and expansion of consciousness. [...]

[...] I am not certain as to what this refers to, but put it into the record. [...]

(The following sessions, containing personal materials have been deleted from the record:

(Jane has her own notes on this session, and they may be included with these in these records. [...]

[...] I will speak fairly slowly then, Joseph, for your records.

[...] I did not ask Seth to slow down, both in the interests of spontaneity for Jane, and because Pat was recording the session. [...]

[...] Timothy Foote was very interested in Jane’s abilities, and said he would like to return for a session with a recorder. [...]

[...] It wasn’t recorded or noted. [...]

And our friend (Timothy Foote) will be back with a recorder.

(This session, for April 15, 1970, Wednesday, is deleted from the record.)

(Smiling:) Some other night we must have a session that is recorded. [...]

Now I wish you a fond good evening, and this has not been a recording. [...]

[...] Were their dreams and other psychic experiences — other than the recorded instances — outstanding on a regular basis as they lived out their lives day by day?

[...] The interpretation of scanty records, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, has given rise to debate, but it appears he was either Menahem ben Judah, who was killed in A.D. 66 in Jerusalem, or a nephew, who survived and succeeded him.)

[...] It has not been recorded.

(To Natalie.) There is one element you have not thought of, you have another record keeper over here. [...]

[...] [Referring to noise of the tape recorder.])

A squeaky one indeed, but a record keeper. [...]

Now all of you to some extent in your dream work keep records, and as such you are dealing with language as you know it, and you are interpreting your experience in terms of a mundane language that is as much a deception as it is a reflection of your feelings and experiences, for you cannot find words within your language to express your own feelings and experiences. [...]

(This remnant, saved by one of Jane’s students, is all that is left from one of the few class sessions that were either lost or not fully recorded. [...]
