“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I sat for the session at about 9:15. At 9:25 she abruptly told me that she’d just “received” the title of a book I am to write: Through My Eyes. She was very surprised — and so was I. At first, Jane said, she interpreted her information [from Seth?] to mean that I would be writing a chapter with that title for one of her own books. But then she quickly realized that this is to be a work of my own.

Now: The book title should be: “Through My Eyes,” and it should be your own book, covering in your own way many important areas. You have writing ability, as you know.

I have given you an outline that I am sure you can follow. The book should be fun to write besides, and combine your writing and painting abilities. The title is a good one and the book will sell. You will be able to get a contract on it, with advance, and writing it will also serve as a spurt for your painting. I am being tricky here.

(She wrote down the “Latin” book title as best she could: Enada Inaventum [Deus ?].The E could possibly be either an I or an A. Then at 10:10 she told me the translation of the title would be Spiritual Adventures. At 10:15 she elaborated; the title would be The Spiritual Adventures of a Monk at Large.

[...] They included a projection through the eastern wall of our living room, and a “visitor” who returned with her; the Latin title of a book; her awareness of a third eye; some material, with diagrams, of me as a monk who wrote manuscripts in an underground chamber that he later sealed; a vision of Seth in a brown robe, looking as I’ve painted him—but the brown robe was “too easy,” Jane said suspiciously. [...]

[...] In 2003 a friend, Jeff, used a Latin dictionary to check her book title. [...]

(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. She’s been using it ever since, though — until late last night, that is, when she finally agreed that she did have the definitive and very original title that she’d been searching for all along: The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto. [...] No, I told her, I thought it was an excellent title, and that it said exactly what she wanted the reader to know.¹

[...] Nor did Jane have any conscious thoughts about subject matter, or a title, for any projected Seth book.

[...] I will give you the title and other pertinent information in a later session, and if you want it an outline of intent.

Please title what we have done this evening as my preface. [...]

[...] “I think I’ve got half of the title,” she said as soon as she was out of trance. [...]

[...] The title I gave you is only for Chapter Nine. Since we are getting down to specifics, I will title the chapters individually.

We will begin Part Two, Chapter Nine, and we will title this, “The Death Experience.”

(“Do you have a title for Part One of your book?”)

[...] Any idea of a title, or do you want to wait on that?”)

(4:56 p.m. Jane said that as soon as she gave the last sentence from Seth she thought the title of the book would be The Way Toward Health. [...]

[...] Mysteriously, she now took over six minutes to deliver the title for Chapter Seventeen.)

(This took half a page or so, and the session ended at 12:03 a.m. Jane was very surprised at the time involved in delivering the title for Chapter Seventeen. [...]

You were given the precise title of the dream content; that is, you knew the particular story was called The Big Freeze. It is true that you forgot that the title itself was a part of the dream,yet you did remember enough so that you were sure of the particular story. [...]

[...] When you awakened you felt chilly; although you could not remember having been given the title, The Big Freeze, this information was translated into bodily sensation. [...]

The sensation of cold was a clue to the title of the story, but one you would not have recognized on a conscious level. [...]

[...] We talked for a few moments, then Jane said, somewhat wonderingly: “I think I’ve got the title. [...]

[...] “Now I’ve forgotten even the title,” Jane said as soon as she came out of an excellent trance, or dissociated state.

[...] I reminded her of the full title of Psyche, and made a few suggestions as to how she could proceed with her own written comments for the book stressing that she could handle them any way she liked. [...]

[...] “I keep trying to change that title, though.” She’d picked up the title as long ago as July 30, 1979—see the 869th session note. [...]

[...] Her last pause had been quite long; when I mentioned this Jane said she thought that Seth had been trying to get the title of his book through; at the same time Jane had been In the process of coming out of trance. [...]

This is the title for our book (Smile:)Seth Speaks: (colon) the Eternal Validity of the Soul. I am using the term soul, for it will have instant meaning to most readers. [...]

[...] After the trance was over Jane said she hadn’t been trying to think of titles for Seth’s own book, etc., nor had she been speculating about its contents.)

[...] Louis Pomerantz’s small book has a rust red cover; the title is in reverse lettering, and this too has a cream tint.

[...] The title page of Louis Pomerantz’s book shows that it was published by A Chicago Chapter Artists Equity Publication, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago 4, Illinois. [...]

(On the page opposite the title page is a long detailed list of Louis Pomerantz’s previous experience, places of study, etc. [...]

(Another longish word beginning with M is found in the publisher’s address on the title page—332 South Michigan Avenue, etc.

[...] The book’s title is The Way Toward Health. [...]

The Way Out of Illness?
A title or chapter heading? [...]

[...] Also, while lying down before supper she received the last three words of the title for this book. [...]

3. I’ve known Seth planned to discuss evolution—that sensitized subject—ever since Jane tuned into the title of his new book a couple of months ago. However, my interest in one of my favorite fields of inquiry lay relatively dormant until Seth confirmed the title earlier this month (September); then I felt the impulse to jump right into producing notes on the subject. [...]

[...] This morning, looking over the few pages we have so far, I got the idea that the title for the first chapter is going to be: ‘Before the Beginning’—so we’ll see….

[...] ‘The Mediumship of—1885.’ I saw a book with this title. [...]

[...] Survival is a strong issue here, though it may not be the title of the discussion, formally.

[...] A slight change of title will be beneficial. [...]

(“What title change do you recommend?”)

(The second question: Did Seth intend to title Part One and Part Two of his book, as he had his chapters? [...]

(At break I repeated my question about titles for Parts One and Two of Seth’s book. [...]

[...] But as the word evolution is the title for a fine tale with a little truth in it, and much distortion, so also, must the realities of consciousness sometimes be explained in terms that you can understand and in terms of your own time concepts. [...]

[...] once I think the title of the—(Jane left this blank)—or the children’s tale appeared in the air in large block letters. [...]

(The next morning, Jane awakened with the title of a book in mind. The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher. [...] The title was all that remained.
