The exclusive source for the complete collection of

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

(Tracing of the poem used as the envelope object in the 68th experiment, in the 281st session for August 29,1966.)

SESSION 281

AUGUST 29, 1966 9 PM MONDAY

(The 68th envelope object was a poem Jane wrote to me on the evening of July 3,1966. It was written with a dark pen on a sheet of yellow paper, not punched, and the size of this page. The sheet was folded as indicated above, then enclosed between the usual two pieces of Bristol and inserted into the usual double envelopes. The back side of the sheet was blank. I knew nothing of the circumstances under which Jane wrote the poem, and hoped the data would fill me in. Details in their proper place.

(Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. They soon began to open. Her voice was average, with some pauses.

(Begin at 8:58.)

Good evening.

(Good evening, Seth.

(Long pause.) Now. Ruburt sent a message and it was received. I am referring to the visit of your friend today.

The conscious mind had nothing to do with this. He strongly wished for the friends presence. The wish became reality. You must understand the rules that apply. For they apply whether or not you understand them, and whether or not the wish is one that you really want fulfilled.

(This noon our friend Jim Beckett visited us for the first time in some months. Jim used to be a TV repairman. Last evening our TV set was acting up, and Jane wished aloud that Jim would visit us and fix the set, as he has done in the past.

(Jim lives out of town and is now a traveling repairman for office equipment. He has witnessed a few sessions, perhaps two years ago. Today he told us that as he drove within about four blocks of our house, he received the strong urge to visit us.)

Take for example this subconscious feeling: I want to be comforted. If I were sick someone would feel sorry for me and comfort me then. Such a wish is very seldom on a conscious level, but it is often emotionally charged, and it brings forth immediate results because of the charge it carries. Whenever you catch yourselves in moods of self-pity, then you are courting just such results.

There is no way out of this, you see. You simply must realize that self-pity, in your terms, is highly destructive. Any charged emotional feeling will almost immediately be made actual. Now this gives you an advantage, you see, if you understand the principles. When you strongly desire to sell your paintings, my friend, you will do so. (Jane looks at me, eyes wide and dark.)

If you passionately desire that others possess them, and benefit from them then you shall sell them, and because of your desire you will take those necessary measures. But regardless of those measures, the paintings will sell.

When you passionately desire to withhold them, when you fear that you will lose a part of yourself by relinquishing them, then this will be what you broadcast to others, and this is the data upon which they will act.

The pendulum is an excellent method of discovering your subconscious feelings, and indeed of changing them. As you both suppose, incidentally, the music you played this evening was highly beneficial from several standpoints. (Yma Sumac.) Any connection with past periods of productivity or joy have immediate reference to the present. As negative suggestions play their part, so do positive suggestions, and both in terms of symbols.

These positive symbols can be used quite deliberately. They should be utilized for your own benefit. You do this often without realizing that you do so, but a conscious knowledge will help you.

Give us a moment here I am searching for a connection for you, concerning the past. A negative response dealing with Dr. Martin. Some, to me, indistinct connection between the strange young woman here with your friends, and Emma Martin. An old unpleasant association. You were uncomfortable, a child. Dr. Martin and his wife visited your parents. You cried, and you clearly heard Emma Martin tell your mother that she should not go to you, and then you would be quiet.
