“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The following material is from the 666th Session for May 28, 1973.

SESSION 666 (DELETED PORTION)

End of session.

(Amused:) I try to give you the heading for the next chapter even at the end of a session, so that Ruburt knows what I am doing. [...]

[...] She couldn’t make out the session for yesterday at all, so I read it to her. [...]

(We had the window open and the curtains pulled shut against a bright sun as session time approached. [...]

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

(Jane called just as I finished typing this session at 9:31 p.m.)

(The following material is from the 816th session.

[...] The young man (see the 816th session proper) was really comparing his life and the earth unfavorably with an idealized imagined world, to which he could never return. [...]

If you have no more questions, I will end the session, and I would respectfully suggest that you take it to heart.

SESSION 816 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 769th session.

[...] I also want him to read the old sessions on work and spontaneity. [...]

End of session. [...]

SESSION 769 (DELETED PORTION)

Jane called me at 8:30 to say that she was ready for the session. [...] And that’s why we missed the regularly scheduled session for last Wednesday evening: She became so relaxed she didn’t care to focus on going into trance.)

Last night was our coldest of the winter, I believe—about 9°—and this evening wasn’t much warmer as we sat for the session. [...]

End of session. [...]

[...] I congratulated her upon the session.)

(The regular 11th session, scheduled for Monday, December 23/63, was not held for various reasons. [...] We did not manage to resume until this unscheduled session of January 1; and by then we wondered whether we could resume.

(This session began without plan, and involved Jane, Bill Macdonnel and myself. [...]

(However, once the three of us began talking about a “seance” [a word I did not want to use describing our sessions and experiments], getting into the mood, we found ourselves trying things that ordinarily we might not have considered.

[...] Yet at the same time the continuity of the board sessions will not be broken by a mass of material other than derived from the board.

You are of great benefit when you help Ruburt with the pendulum sessions. [...]

(“I’m probably not correct on all the conclusions I make during the pendulum sessions, though.”)

[...] He is also used to working with you in our sessions, you see.

We will now end our session. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session — it wasn’t her best effort by any means, but she managed to get through it with a little help from me. [...]

[...] At this relatively early hour, Lynn came in to give Jane her eyedrops after which my wife said she was ready for a session.)

[...] Have Ruburt read again the material pertaining to him in yesterday’s session.

[...] And, I thought, I had to start a page of questions and keep it with each latest session so I didn’t let them get away from us.

[...] Jane finished the session at 3:55. [...] “Then if nobody comes in, I’ll start the session anyway. [...]

[...] She wasn’t worried about her temperature, especially after yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] After the nurse had inserted the heparin lock, Jane went back to reading the session. [...]

Now we will have a relatively brief session, but I would like to give you some important immediate points to work on—not (humorously) that I did not give you enough the other evening.

[...] If at the same time you seemed overly critical—to him, now—of a manuscript, say, or his missing sessions, then it seemed approval was denied him from the one person whose integrity he trusted.

Ruburt dispensed with our sessions on a regular basis with a vengeance after Nebene showed himself, toward the end of the book (Seth Speaks) in the living room.

Now I bid you a good evening—and there are still other sessions that both of you can read to your advantage. [...]

[...] Before the session, Jane told me now, she’d known “that Seth would talk about some of that stuff.” As it had been in the last session, her delivery tonight was quite slow; the difference this evening, though, was that she’d sensed many of those pauses. But this was the kind of session she liked, and when she came out of trance she felt that more time should have passed. [...]

[...] I told her that I’d never envisioned her showing that kind of interest in my approach to the sessions and books.)

[...] The inner ego (see the last session) is perfect as a term to suit my purposes. [...]

SESSION 823, FEBRUARY 27, 1978
9:43 P.M. MONDAY

(The following material is from the 724th session.

SESSION 724 (DELETED PORTION)

Just before the session she showed me a page of notes she’d picked up from Seth today, about the subject matter for tonight’s session—but we had no time in which to discuss them.)

“I’ve had a rough day,” she said as we sat for the session. [...]

[...] She referred to a “psychic fair” she’d accidentally tuned in to on television, while waiting for me to come into the living room for the session. [...]

End of session, end of dictation, end of chapter, and a fond good evening.

(I connected my symptoms also with the creed, mentioned in the notes proceeding the undeleted material for this session. As stated this creed grew out of the last, 584th session for May 3, 1971, Seth Speaks, pages 321 and 322, where Seth discussed the ego’s fear of being swamped by strong creative abilities, etc. [...]

(The session resumed then after break from 10:25—10:32. See Session 585 in Seth Speaks.)

(This material is deleted from the 585th session for May 12, 1971. [...]

(Elements of the creed would consider whether she should have these sessions, whether they should be public or merely private, whether they should be published now or later, or never, etc. [...]

(This is the regularly scheduled session for December 6, 1971. [...]

[...] They provide miniature yet perfect therapeutic sessions, beside having the advantage of bringing the initial problems to the front where you can deal with them together. [...]

[...] This, with the information given in the last session, if followed, can help you greatly, and clear Ruburt’s symptoms; but not if the advice is not followed.

Now Ruburt inhibited the negative emotions, so-called, first of all because of his own background—the fear of arguments, of hurting someone, as explained clearly in other sessions. [...]

(Jane had no voice phenomena this session, nor any changes in her hands; the same rings she was so troubled by last session bothered her not at all this time. [...]

If you two are not too tired to continue the session for a short time, then rest for a moment and continue. [...] So when you are ready to end the session simply say so.

(Jane said that once again she had stage fright, a feeling of apprehension and wonder, just before the session was due to begin. [...]

[...] Since we had dispensed with taking messages through the board in the main, this session was the slowest-paced one to date. [...]

(10:58 P.M. It developed that this was the end of the session. [...] Jane’s pace had been considerably faster than last session, her eyes closed much of the time.)

[...] You may end the session or take a break if you prefer.

SESSION 525, APRIL 22, 1970,
9:14 P.M. WEDNESDAY

[...] The habit of fear would have finally been reflected here in our sessions. [...]

[...] On Thursday, October 27, the day after this session, Jane heard from the magazine in question, Topper. [...]

I will end the session early for your convenience.

If you have no questions I will end the session.

(A note: Our refrigerator troubles, described in the 809th session, appear to be over. Those problems led to the very short regular session for last Monday, and the very short deleted portion of that 809th session.)

(Ordinarily this session would have been held next Saturday, but we have visitors scheduled for that evening.

[...] Your beliefs in the power of the present, and in Ruburt’s recovery, as stated lately in these sessions, must, however, outbalance your doubts.

[...] Unless you have further questions I will end the session—which I devoted to the subject for your edification.
