“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

4. As an artist myself, I’ve occasionally wondered if some abstract paintings could have such origins. It’s quite possible that I’ve talked about this with Jane, although I don’t remember doing so at any particular time.

[...] “I’ve just been wondering why your basic gestures are different than Ruburt’s,” Bill said.

“I’ve been wondering. [...]

[...] Either way, this would be no proof of my independent nature, but I’m glad to see you’ve been thinking about it.

[...] I ran through radioactive rain (in a dream that, oddly enough, proved precognitive!), wandered through lovely gardens, explored several unfamiliar houses, and spoke with a well-known author whom I’ve never met. [...]

[...] I’ve certainly found her particular combination of attributes to be unique, and I don’t think she’d be able to express the Seth material as she does without them. [...]

[...] (That had been my somewhat amused speculation to begin with.) We’ve gotten a flurry—a small blizzard—of bills from doctors during the last few days.

[...] Decubitus ulcers: one of the first terms we’d added to our rapidly growing medical vocabulary—and one of the more stubborn afflictions for a human being to get rid of once they’ve become established. [...]

[...] We’ve encouraged the plants to grow up a set of poles that reach from the top of a bookcase to the ceiling. [...]

[...] How strange, I’ve found myself thinking, that Joe, say, doesn’t see our environment in artistic terms, since what I see is so plain to me. But then, I tell myself, Joe has a method of cognition that’s quite natural to him. If he loves flowers, for instance, he may enjoy more of a sheer emotional reaction through the appreciation of a rose than I can.

6. Reading backward is something I’ve casually indulged in for many years. [...]

[...] I’ve felt pretty good since then.)

[...] Otherwise, I’d left them home — something I’ve never done before. [...]

[...] These class excerpts, which I’ve rearranged somewhat for easy reference, may be used when considered with book material still to come, since Seth will occasionally use the class format to supplement his dictation in our “regular” sessions. [...]

[...] So maybe the body is absorbing those growths, as I’ve been suggesting it can do in my dehypnotizing massages each afternoon.

(One thing I’ve learned above all else: I’ll never again create a situation like this, where years pass before a book is delivered to the publisher. [...]

(This morning I typed the session for November 7, as I tried to catch up on the backlog of material we’ve been accumulating lately. [...]

[...] I’ve also resumed painting on a daily basis. [...]

[...] I doubt if I’ve ever heard Seth do better. [...]

[...] We’ve had a number of discussions about the whole business, and what we can do about any of it. [...]

(We haven’t paid any attention to the last session, for December 26, 1977, yet it contains a line that I’ve thought of often since it came through: “Ruburt....constantly concentrates upon what is still wrong.” [...]

I’ve mentioned both of these dreams because each was involved with a near-accident. [...]

[...] Since this dream, I’ve always watched out for such acting-out and in many cases discovered clues that helped me interpret dreams that otherwise remained closed to scrutiny.

[...] I’ve caught myself doing it.”

(I’ll finish the references to yesterday’s session by quoting the comments Seth made at the end of some material we’ve deleted from the 712th session in Section 4. A few weeks ago, through a magazine we subscribe to, Jane joined a science club. [...]

1. The series of visions that made up my overall perception of the black woman in Jamaica were the most vivid I’ve experienced yet. [...]

I’ve also accumulated more graphic information about my other first-century counterpart, Nebene. [...]

[...] I chose not to study this paragraph of material in Appendix 18 because in it Seth mentions what I take to be probable lives involving Jane and me (when he speaks of our future lives), rather than reincarnational involvements we’ve had with Seth that “actually happened.”

(I’ve also thought of re-reading yesterday’s excellent session to her often, as a sort of reminder.)

(At least when I’ve been there in 330, Jane’s appetite has gone downhill, and she’s slacked off on free-association material and the sessions. [...]

[...] “but you’ve just got to assert yourself when they happen at such times. [...]

[...] So how come I’m so dumb, I’ve been thinking. [...]

[...] However, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of unpublished Seth material on dreams, and I’ll start looking for chances to insert some of those data in the rest of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] She didn’t go to hydro this morning: “You’ve got to be kidding.”
