“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Florence.) Now I want to have a private session with you. [...]

ESP CLASS SESSION, AUGUST 17, 1971
TUESDAY

(No session was held. [...]

[...] She felt better after I read her the session for March 19, and a great Sumari poem I used to close out the essays for Dreams with.

(I kept trying to get at events — before and at the time the sessions began — and Jane’s symptoms. [...]

(I thought the session very interesting. [...]

[...] At our next session we shall go into this more deeply and define the psychedelic experience for you. [...]

If you have no questions, we will close the session.

(Copy of the memo slip used as the 80th envelope object, in the 308th session for December 12,1966.)

SESSION 307

(The session was late in starting because we were visited by Curtis Kent from 8 to 9:45. [...]

Now you may take a break, end the session—

[...] If you do not have questions then I will end the session. [...]

SESSION 477 (DELETED)

(This material is deleted from the 567th session for February 17, 1971.

Now you may end the session, take a break, or ask more questions as you prefer.

[...] I will give you more at the end of our next session. [...]

SESSION 567 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] They realized they were mortal, and must die, but their greater awareness of Framework 2 allowed them a larger identification, so they understood that death was not only a natural necessity, but also an opportunity for other kinds of experience and development (see Note 1 for Session 803).

[...] As I mentioned earlier (in Session 821), each person caught in either an epidemic or a natural disaster will have private reasons for choosing those circumstances. [...]

[...] After giving half a page of notes for Jane, Seth ended the session at 10:58 P.M.)

SESSION 828, MARCH 15, 1978
9:53 P.M. WEDNESDAY

[...] Now your feelings toward me before this session have very much to do with other attitudes that are very important to you and very ingrained. [...] And before the session began, You thought of me as an old, but wise and extremely powerful male adult, as you thought of your father when you were a child.

([Pat:] “But I hate to ask for a Seth session. What right have I got to ask for a Seth session.”

[...] If you will forgive me, I do not think we should use time in the session with your question about your friend’s poetry. [...] When you read or listen to tonight’s session, you will see that I have given you some insight into your own overreactions. [...]

(Session for Pat Norelli of Boston. [...]

(Once again, as I had before the deleted session for Monday the 16th, I told Jane that I was close to a “breaking point.” [...]

(In the deleted session for April 16, 1979 Seth remarked that Jane “used to feel embarrassed because he made more money in those terms than you, and certainly this played some role initially in the symptoms.” [...]

(Jane read these notes over as we sat for the session at 9:35. [...]

I have given, I would say, five or six sessions at a minimum on the importance of touch or lovemaking, its importance as natural expression, as a creative act—and this apart from its physical benefits, release of tensions, and spiritual enrichment.

(In Note 2 for Session 801, I commented on the sociological implications represented by her correspondence.

(Whispering:) End of session.

[...] Before the session I knew he was going into schizophrenia and so forth, but he went past those inklings….” [...]

NOTES: SESSION 863

[...] And yet those issues that might bring me to you in a session, have nothing to do with time as you consider it. [...]

[...] The five hundred and some odd sessions we have, however, barely represent an outline—but they are enough to begin with. [...]

[...] Now this does not mean that I am not present in such sessions, anymore than it does not mean that the information you are given by the teacher, on the screen, is not legitimate. [...]

[...] This has been given in our sessions and Ruburt and Joseph understand it. [...]

SESSION 532, MAY 27, 1970,
9:24 P.M. WEDNESDAY

(Jane’s delivery was quite fast, and remained so throughout the session.)

[...] For others a four-hour block sleep session and two naps would be highly beneficial. [...]

[...] This break proved to be the end of the recorded session.

(It might also be noted that Willy, our cat, jumped up on Jane’s lap a minute or two before the session began. Jane said it was the first time in all of the sessions that Willy had done so; evidently, if he sensed Seth’s presence, he was not perturbed.)

[...] It will be remembered that Bill had participated in the single seance the three of us have tried, on January 1, 1964; and was scheduled to be a witness to the 36th session, March 18, 1964, but couldn’t at the last moment.[See Volume One.]

(Bill barely had time to get his coat off and take a pencil and paper I offered him so that he could take his own notes, when the session began. [...]

[...] It will be recalled that it was in the dance hall at York Beach that Jane and I saw the projected fragments of our own personalities, that Seth dealt with so extensively in the 9th session, of December 18, 1963. [...]

As the Seth sessions continued, our activities fell generally into three main divisions. First of all, the emphasis was on the delivery of the Seth Material itself, as in the twice-weekly sessions Seth continued to explain the nature of nonphysical reality. [...] At the same time, Seth began to send me on out-of-body journeys during some sessions and to offer, on his own, other instances of “paranormal” activity.

Bill laughed, and shortly later, the session ended. By now I sat down during sessions, and changes had taken place in my trance state so that the personality change was very marked. Rob was used to this, but Bill and Peg attended sessions only infrequently, and to Bill it was a constant source of amazement. [...]

For this series of sessions, we had also moved into the quieter bedroom. Seth usually devoted the first hour or so to his discussion on dreams and the last part of the sessions were given over to the experiments mentioned earlier with the envelopes and the long-distance tests with the psychologist. [...]

(Excerpts from Session 206, November 8, 1965)

(I had three questions for Seth, following my promise at the end of the last deleted session to come up with some—and Jane had two. [...]

[...] On June 22 the pendulum told me that my stomach bothers me not because I don’t spend enough time painting, but because I feel guilty at spending the time I do, in view of all the other work with Jane that I feel I should be doing: working on sessions, “Unknown” Reality, etc.

(My discussion upset Jane, of course, as she made ready for tonight’s session, and I was left feeling angry and taken advantage of. [...]

End of session, or take a break if you prefer.

(The following material is from the 841st session.)

SESSION 841 (DELETED PORTION)

(Session 494 is a lost or missing session.)

(The following material is deleted from the 693rd session for April 29, 1974.

[...] This session alone will help, as will his emotional recognition of his feelings, and your and his acceptance of their validity in their own realm. [...]

SESSION 693 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 703rd session.

[...] He has been aware of a few, as in the instance mentioned in our last session. [...]

SESSION 703 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] Very understandable, then, that Jane, both for herself and for Seth, would write so eloquently about the disparity between her psychic abilities and “the currently scientifically-oriented blend of rationalism,” as Seth describes that quality earlier in this Session Six for The Magical Approach.

[...] If Jane had planned to add to Seth’s original sessions, what might she have included? [...]

¹Rob describes Framework 2 in Session One, Footnote 2. Seth discusses Frameworks 3 and 4 in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events as creative environments to keep in mind also. [...]

SESSION 559, NOVEMBER 9, 1970,
9:18 P.M. MONDAY

(Excerpts from the 558th session for November 5th are included in the Appendix.)

[...] We will have a brief session —
