Seth books and recordings by Jane Roberts

THE EARLY SESSIONS

The Early Sessions consist of the first 510 sessions dictated by Seth through Jane Roberts. There are 9 books in The Early Sessions series.

THE PERSONAL SESSIONS

The Personal Sessions , often referred to as the deleted sessions, are Seth sessions that Jane Roberts and Rob Butts considered to be of a highly personal nature and were therefore kept in separate notebooks from the main body of the Seth material. There are 7 books in The Personal Sessions series.

The great value I see now in the many deleted or private sessions is that they have the potential to help others, just as they helped Jane and me over the years. I feel that its very important to have these sessions added to Janes fine creative body of work for all to see. Rob Butts

SESSION 199

OCTOBER 18, 1965 9 PM MONDAY AS SCHEDULED

(In the 198th session of last Wednesday, October 13, Seth stated that financial matters and our kitchen problem would be settled by Saturday, October 16. Jane did hear from the secretary of her publisher on Saturday; she does not regard the situation settled however since the publisher is out of town and could not reply personally.

(The carpenter was to see our landlord last week, and let us know about our kitchen enlargement by last Saturday. We have received no word about their meeting, although it is possible a decision was made Saturday.

(It will be recalled that in the 166th session, of June 30,1965, Seth told the witness, John Bradley, that there is one other company in particular with which you could become involved to your advantage. It is situated in the Midwest, perhaps in Minneapolis... presently a small firm comparatively speaking, but it will expand drastically within a short time... you will become involved with this company I believe irregardless, either as a competitor or as a member of the organization.

(John at present is a salesman for Searle Drug. He lives in Williamsport, PA, but has witnessed several sessions. At the date of the 166th session he knew of no drug or pharmaceutical firms in Minneapolis. Visiting us this noon while making his rounds, John told us he had checked up on Seth. He gave us the names and addresses of two drug houses that he learned about in Minneapolis. He had not heard of them, and they are both small companies.

(They are the Fuller Pharmaceutical Co., 3108 W. Lake Street, and the Ulmer Pharmacal Co., 1400 Harmon Place, both in Minneapolis. Needless to say, John plans to watch these companies with much interest.

(For the envelope test object I used the appointment card for Janes visit to the dentist last May 5,1965. This is the appointment that Jane kept while in a trance state, and thus had her teeth cleaned without discomfort. For an account of this episode see the 152nd session. See also my tracing on page 1. The card is on white stock, printed in black ink, with the handwriting in black pencil. I enclosed the card between two pieces of Bristol, then inserted the whole into the usual double envelopes.

(This evenings session will see the first of three scheduled attempts for Seth to clairvoyantly tune in on our friends, Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who arrived in Puerto Rico on vacation yesterday, Sunday. We hope that at 9:30 this evening, on Wednesday October 20, and Monday October 25, Seth will be able to pick up something of the activities and/or surroundings of Bill and Peg. They plan to make their own notes at these same times for later comparison.

(Jane said at 8 PM this evening that she did not mind if we had an envelope test. I remarked that it was going to be a busy session, what with the material on the Gallaghers and Dr. Instream, a possible envelope test, and the chance that Seth might discuss two very long, vivid, and complicated dreams Jane had while taking a short nap last Friday morning. See Janes account in Volume 4, on pages 336-38. She believes that at least one of these dreams is a therapeutic dream, resulting from suggestions she gave herself following Seths material on therapeutic dreams in the last session.

(A development that may be of interest is that I had a strong sneezing spell just before this evenings session. It came upon me abruptly at about 8:45, while Jane was reading to me her account of the two dreams in question. For some reason the sneezing made me quite angry and impatient, briefly, and I asked Jane to hold up in her reading. For reasons I was not aware of, I nevertheless felt the sneezing was related to the dreams.

(The session was held in our back room. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her pace was a little slow in the beginning but soon picked up speed. Her voice was average.)
