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 Early 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

(The following two episodes are included here because they are dealt with by Seth in the next session, the 43rd.)

(By Jane:

(Last night, April 10, 1964, just before I fell asleep, I had the following experience: My eyes were closed but I saw a sheet of paper filled with script that I recognized to be the handwriting of Dee Masters, my supervisor at the Arnot Art Gallery where I work in the afternoons.

(It was a piece of notepaper, not typewriter size but smaller. I made out my husbands name, Rob, and a few other words which I have since forgotten. The piece of paper was bright, as though there was light somewhere, but everything else was dark as it usually is when you have your eyes closed. I have the feeling that another such experience happened right after this one, but I fell asleep and do not remember. I had forgotten the incident completely until this afternoon, April 11, 1964.)

(By Rob:

(Last night, April 12, 1964, I had a brief but very vivid dream, in which I saw one of the big branches of the tree in front of Stamps house, around the corner from us, fall to the ground.

(It happened in daylight, and in color. The branch, which is perhaps ten feet long and three or four inches in diameter, came crashing down to the street. When it hit the street it bounced, and white chips of wood flew up like sparks from an anvil. The branch did not hit any cars, people, etc. I must have been standing nearby, although I was not involved in any way. I do not recall a storm, or high winds.

(This particular branch appears to be a solid one in the tree, but it grows out at a peculiar angle so that it looks weak and somehow out of place amid the rhythmic patterns of the other limbs and branches. I have often noticed it and wondered just how strong it really is.)

SESSION 43

APRIL 13, 1964 9 PM MONDAY AS INSTRUCTED

(While Jane was reading over the 42nd session this morning after breakfast, the word disentanglement came to her mind. This, she believes, is the eighth inner sense, making possible transportation and levitation; Seth has briefly referred to these two being dependent upon another inner sense.

(While napping at about 4:00 PM, for a very brief moment Jane experienced the feeling she has described as infinite blackness, or enlargement. See page 309 [in Volume One of The Early Sessions]. It came while she was still awake; she had just relaxed and her eyes were closed. This evening Willy behaved admirably, sleeping through the whole session. It was a warm and windy spring night, very beautiful, and during the session one of the living room windows was open.

(Jane dictated in a voice just a bit stronger than normal; she paced at an average rate, her eyes darkened as usual. She began talking a little faster than she had the two previous sessions. She was nervous as usual before the session began.)

Good evening.

(Good evening, Seth.)

This can be for the record or you may delete it.

(Yes?)

I told Ruburt that he wasnt pregnant, so now I expect that our sessions will be a little smoother again now that he is relieved of the big question. I must say that his discipline was admirable, and that I myself gave him much aid. The sessions themselves have helped Ruburt develop discipline.

I am pleased that our practical exercises outside of class so to speak, are coming along so well. For one thing our Ruburt is a Doubting Thomas from way back, and evidence of the inner senses that are experienced outside of our sessions help along these lines. I do not want gullible ninnies, however I certainly would enjoy being taken at my word occasionally. Though the shock might be too much for even my constitution.

I hope, Joseph, that you will also experience more of the inner senses. You certainly should.

(How about my dream of the tree branch falling? Any connection there with the inner senses?)

The dream of the tree? I do not know if it was merely a dream or not at this point. It was not the same sort of experience as the other you had in connection with a tree. I simply do not know if that particular limb will fall within a specific time. You may have seen its ultimate falling, but this was not the same kind of experience as Ruburts seeing the clock.
