“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I shoveled quite a bit of snow in the driveway last night after I finished typing yesterday’s session, and for the first time in a long while felt the old panic return. [...]

(Last night I had a rather vivid dream that I described to Jane before today’s session. [...]

[...] By 3:00 she began reading yesterday’s session, doing fairly okay with pauses. [...]

[...] After another smoke, Jane started rereading the session for January 29 again — this time doing quite a bit better than she had earlier today. [...]

(Waving a foot in the air, pointing it at me:) This is the end of tonight’s session. [...] End of session.

[...] Today she’d been so relaxed, with so many physical things taking place—all improvements—that I didn’t think she’d want to have a session.

[...] After the session I told Jane I’d been tempted to ask Seth to comment on the tragic situation involving Venice and Howard McCullough, but decided not to because of Jane’s own concerns. [...]

(Strange, the way things work—today, July 16, 1984, before I reread this session, Joe Bumbalo’s daughter Judy told me that Joe has only 2 or 3 more days to live— bone cancer.)

(As we waited for the session Jane began to enter a transcendent, or enhanced, state of consciousness. [...] [See the extensive notes for the 653rd session in Chapter Thirteen, describing her various states of altered perception last April 2. In one of those intervals she’d sensed giants standing about the rim of our world.] Now, Jane said, from their massive viewpoint these observers could see “everything happening at once in our world, from California to Russia — like astronauts looking back at us….”

[...] Our living room was very warm, though, as we sat for the session at 9:25. [...]

(“I’d better get back to the session; but I’m up to something,” she continued, pleased. [...]

[...] But I’ve got to get back to the session….

(For the session Jane and I looked more presentable than usual, but by 8:30 Peggy had not appeared. [...] The predictions were made at 3 PM, March 15; Seth has something to say about the hour and day later in the session.

(Seth began talking about these points in the very early sessions. By the 15th session he was explaining Jane’s role as a translator for him, putting concepts into words, etc. [...]

(The 41st envelope experiment was held during the session. [...]

(The session was held in our front room. [...]

(The following material is from the 931st session. [...]

[...] End of session, and—the dream (of mine) will not go by the board, either. [...]

SESSION 931 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] I noticed her yawning at 8:45 and knew she was tired, but she didn’t want to call off the session.)

[...] It should be noted that during this period he did not fall considerably below his usual performance with me in our sessions.

SESSION 299

(This material is from the 696th session for May 8, 1974.

Have him read the last session again, with this one.

SESSION 696 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 778th session.

[...] End of session....

SESSION 778 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 785th session.

End of session, unless you have questions.

SESSION 785 (DELETED PORTION)

(Jane tried to read the session again, but soon gave up. I remarked that if she had a session today I’d like it to be on what we’d talked about before I left last night — her right leg, and related challenges. I also wanted Seth to comment on the last paragraph I’d written for yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] I had yesterday’s session typed, and she tried several times to read it without success — even after I’d given her eyedrops, she just couldn’t do it today. I finally read the session to her, finishing at 3:33.

(Finally, Jane got tired of waiting for people to do her vitals, and decided to start the session.

[...] A new nurse came in to take Jane’s temperature — 98.3. Karina had been yelling throughout the session — so much so that at times I’d almost missed what Seth had been saying.

(Jane did decide to have a session tonight, though, since we’d missed last night’s, and we had company—Rhoads and Gallaghers—scheduled for Friday night. We waited a long time for the session to begin. [...]

(Yesterday morning I read Jane Tuesday’s session, concerning her exaggerated sense of responsibility, and so forth, and it seemed to have an almost immediate effect upon her: She became very relaxed. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Ruburt is not responsible at all in such areas to hold sessions for others, or to provide that particular kind of individual help. [...]

[...] The natural flow of the sessions has never run in that direction, nor has Ruburt’s own natural inclinations. [...]

This will give you your fourth session in sequence again. Read the four sessions, and discuss them. [...]

[...] As we sat for the session she reported extra movement in her right eye—increased muscular activity that she could feel even in her throat. [...]

[...] He depends upon creativity, for example, as you do, to provide a more or less steady source of enjoyment, excitement, personal accomplishment—not to mention livelihood —and as per last evening’s session, creativity operates in ways that may appear uncertain. [...]

End of session, unless you have a particular question. [...]

(No session was held yesterday, Friday, December 23, but here is a summary of the day’s events. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, and did quite well, holding the papers in her left hand as she usually does now. [...]

[...] After she finished the session, Jane said she’d been thinking lately about dropping taking the antidepressant medication each night. [...]

[...] The time passed rapidly, and she finally announced that she’d like to have a session. [...]

[...] Almost each day we reread some of the late sessions doing with letting go, trust of the body and impulses, and similar concepts; they have been a great help. The last session is particularly good in that respect, dealing as it does with the stages of the healing process, the gradual lessening of discomfort each time such a bodily process takes place, etc.

(Before the session Jane said she thought Seth might discuss some of the ideas in a book by Fred Hoyle, the English astronomer that she’s reading, on the ten different universes of man. [...]

[...] (Rob: re particles & elements, created without end, distortive instruments, etc.—see session 19, January 27, 1964. [...]

End of session, unless you have a question.

(Rather than go into more detail here, I’ll move to the session, which Jane began quite a bit later. [...]

(I should add that after reading her the poetry and her new dictation, I read her the last three sessions for Seth’s The Way Toward Health, given on June 24, 26, and 27. [...]

[...] I thought she carried off the little session very well.)

[...] The import and impact of today’s session made things quite clear.

(Seth’s humorous comment above refers to an insight Jane received from him just before the session began.)

In some respects this is meant to be a cozy, confidential session. [...]

[...] As you have always known, his attitude toward our book represented, of course, his attitude toward our sessions. [...]

Now you may end the session or take a break as you prefer.

[...] She began reading aloud yesterday’s six-page session while I worked with mail. [...]

(When we were alone I asked Jane if she planned to have a session. [...]

This session should help to reinforce your own faith, and Ruburt’s.

[...] I read the session to her. [...]

(This proved to be the end of the session. [...] She had no awareness of the room in which she sat giving the session, yet of course she did [or Seth did] hear my questions and answer them. [...]

(Bill and Peg Gallagher attended the session.)

(We had not checked any maps, etc., for the location of Chula Vista, California [where the brothers live], before the session of course. [...]

SESSION 339

[...] She had been most of the day, and by supper time she’d even thought of skipping the session. The situation wasn’t without its humorous aspects, however, for Seth himself seemed eager to go: As we sat for the session Jane said she was getting material from him on several topics. [...]

(A private session was held on Monday evening.

(Four weeks ago, I wrote in the opening notes for the 854th session that Jane wasn’t sure of Heroics as the title for her new book. [...]

SESSION 860, JUNE 13, 1979
9:19 P.M. WEDNESDAY

(After today’s session — the first since February 22 — I told Jane that my plan when she resumed sessions was to type the session material only, and not the daily notes about her physical condition, temperature, and so forth, unless there was something out of the ordinary to note. [...]

(4:02 p.m. Jane said she was glad she’d had the session.
