Descripción

Session 381: When Furniture Fights Back and Spirits Get Severe Pull up a chair—preferably one that isn’t planning a rebellion—because we are diving into a night where the laws of physics took a coffee break. Session 381 recorded on November 24, 1967 wasn't just a chat with a ghost; it was a full-contact paranormal event involving a very stressed-out three-legged table. The Warm-Up: Gravity is Just a Suggestion Before the main event on the 24th, there was a "warm-up" session on Wednesday, November 22. Jane, Rob, and two college students, Claire and Carl, decided to indulge in some table tipping. This wasn't your grandma's seance; this table was doing Irish jigs on command and playing tag. * The Invisible Force: The group experienced a pressure so thick it felt like "two magnets repelling each other." * The Weight of the Spirit: Being college students, they did the most logical thing: they got a bathroom scale. Carl measured a staggering 70 to 90 pounds of upward pressure coming from the table. * A A Joins the Party: Jane identified the "inhabitant" of the table as "A A," who was more than happy to show off. The Main Event: The Night the Table Died Fast forward to Friday, November 24. The room was packed with twelve people, including skeptics, friends, and a lot of high-octane mental energy. Things got rowdy fast. * The Breaking Point: While two guests, Bill and Pat, were putting all their muscle into leveling the table, the energy hit a "palpable peak of mental and physical excitement." * Furniture Fatality: The table couldn't take the cosmic tug-of-war. The top split, a leg was torn clean off the pedestal, and a two-inch nail was bent at a 90-degree angle. * Seth’s Dramatic Entrance: Shortly after the table crashed, Seth decided it was the perfect time to drop in. He wasn't exactly in a "party mood." Rob described him as "deadly serious" and "unmercifully" blunt. Insights from the "Old Man" Seth used the shattered table as a metaphor for the untapped power sitting in the room. * On Reality: Seth didn't mince words: "The physical universe is as unpredictable as the behavior of that table. I come to you as a complete stranger... but you are not strangers to me." * On Personal Responsibility: He called out a "Jesuit" (Bill) for using flippancy to avoid his own abilities, stating, "It does you no good to smile. It is yourself with whom you must become friendly and yourself you must face." * Who is A A?: Seth revealed that the table’s "ghost," A A, was Alexander Anare, a lawyer who died in 1906. He was part of a psychic study group in Cleveland and really liked "the manipulation of physical matter." Predictions and Past Lives Seth didn't stop at philosophy; he started dropping specific data points like a cosmic investigator: * The 1970 Crisis: He predicted a "severe crisis" for a guest named Danny by 1970 involving people with the initials A L and F W. * Medical Intuition: He corrected a guest named Dick on his birth year (1939 vs 1938), then diagnosed a circulatory issue in his extremities and a minor problem in the fourth vertebra. * Carl’s History: During a second brief appearance, Seth revealed Carl was once a Roman woman in Germany (Acri-la) with five children, and later a merchant in Bordeaux in 1826.

391 The Swearing Ghost in the Dry Cleaning

Session 391: The Note, the Ghost, and the Table-Pounding Party Welcome back! Today we’re getting cozy and a little bit spooky as we dive into Session 391 from The Early Sessions Book 8 of the Seth Material, recorded on January 13, 1968. This isn't your average "Seth speaks through Jane" session; this is Jane going solo, trying to help a friend, Jerry Kramerick, solve a family mystery. Grab a drink—maybe it's "tip-up time"—and let's see what the "survival personalities" had to say. The Mystery of the Cleaner’s Note The whole afternoon kicked off because Jerry found a mysterious note stapled to her father’s clothes after they came back from the cleaners. The weird part? Jerry had searched those pockets thoroughly before sending them out. The note was from her stepmother, Billie, who had been dead since 1965. Jane decided to see if she could pick up some "impressions" without her usual partner, Seth. Psychic Hits and Vintage Vibes Jane slipped into a light trance and started dropping some seriously specific details that had Jerry’s jaw on the floor. Here are the highlights of what Jane "picked up": * The Fashion Sense: Jane described a dark-colored violet or purple velvet dress with a detachable white collar and a gold pin shaped like wings. Jerry confirmed Billie was a "dressy" lady. * The Decor: A parlor with an old-fashioned beaded globe lamp and a fringed scarf. Apparently, Billie’s house was a treasure trove of antiques. * The Schedule: Jane kept mentioning "9 o’clock" and the phrase "tip-up time." As it turns out, that was the specific time Jerry’s father liked to have his evening drink. * The Soundtrack: The song "Little Brown Jug" popped up, which was apparently a favorite. * The Medical File: Jane mentioned an appendix operation and Jerry’s own history of falling in the snow and breaking a leg. Things Get Rowdy: The Billie Show The vibe shifted from "polite psychic reading" to "full-blown family argument" real quick. Jane started channeling Billie’s fiery, swear-heavy personality. At one point, Jane slammed her fist on the table so hard the teacups literally jumped. According to the record, Jane’s voice and mannerisms became a dead ringer for Billie, who was known for being dominant and having a "quick, sputtering voice." Key Quotes from the Session: * "She says, and this is my impression: that’s no lie, as if that was an expression of hers. And that she and Jerry have guts and gumption." * "She says I’m dead. What are you yelling about? She says she’s here… And she wants him to get up and act like a man." * "A panic. You’re a goddam panic. She’s around and she says she’s livelier than he is at this point." * "I see her banging on the table and she’s saying goddammit—she’s having a fight with the father... and she says by Jesus I won’t stand for it." The Verdict By the end of the session, Jane was rubbing her right hip—the exact spot where Billie used to have pain. Jerry was totally convinced that Jane had actually been "controlled" by Billie, especially during the table-pounding sequence where Jane used Billie's exact phrases like "guts and gumption" and "that's no lie." Jane later admitted that she felt controlled by a "vivid, angry vital woman" and had to purposefully step back to maintain her own awareness. --- This summary is based on the Seth Material, and we give all the credit to the New Awareness Network. If you want to dive deeper into the mysteries of personality and survival after death, you really should study the Seth Material books for yourself.

episode 390 The Dead Hand Séance artwork

390 The Dead Hand Séance

Session 390: The Blanche Price Transmission Welcome to a look back at a rather spooky and experimental evening in the history of the Seth Material. We are diving into Session 390 of The Early Sessions Book 8, recorded on the evening of January 8, 1968. Tonight’s vibe is a little different. Usually, Jane Roberts is the mouthpiece for Seth, but on this chilly Monday night, she decided to try something a bit more "classic medium" style. She wasn't looking for universal wisdom; she was looking for an old friend. The Spooky Lowdown: What Went Down The atmosphere was peak 1960s mystery: dim lights, a living room table by the windows, and Jane trying to dial a different number on the cosmic telephone. Here’s the gist of what happened during this chillingly cool experiment: * The Sideline Play: Jane and Rob (her husband) decided to ask Seth to play bodyguard rather than lead singer. They wanted Seth’s assistance to contact a "survival personality"—specifically Blanche Price, who had passed away the previous February—without Seth actually taking over the microphone. * The Protective Bodyguard: While Jane went into a trance, Rob stayed on the "line" with Seth, talking to him steadily to provide a protective framework. It turns out having a multidimensional teacher as your spiritual bouncer makes for a much smoother ride. * The "Dead Hand" Incident: As the trance deepened, things got a bit weird. Jane’s left hand started acting like it had a mind of its own, slapping her right hand. She later described the sensation as feeling like a "dead hand." It seems Blanche had to momentarily "re-experience" her illness to bridge the gap into our reality. * The Data Dump: Despite the "unpleasant" vibes of the death-experience filter, Blanche managed to get some specific names and dates through. We're talking baptism, rosaries, and specific names like "De Beauvoir" and "Thomas Simmons." * A Different Kind of High: Jane noted that this trance felt totally different from her usual Seth sessions. It was less like a lecture and more like an emotional deep-sea dive into someone else’s memories. The Receipts: Key Quotes from the Session To illustrate the intensity of the contact, here are a few choice words from the record of the night: * "Jane’s left hand... felt subjectively 'like a dead hand.' As though it were necessary almost for Blanche to go through the experience of being ill once again in order to make contact." * "This is Blanche... France... De Beauvoir... Thomas Simmons... And Charles. Summer... 1962... Anne’s aunt at a party... a baptism... a rosary..." * "The session, Jane said, verged often on the unpleasant, as if Blanche had to go through her own last memories first in order to make contact." The Wrap-Up This session proves that even when you're dealing with the afterlife, it helps to have a good support system. Rob’s steady voice and Seth’s background presence turned a potentially scary "dead hand" moment into a successful experiment in mediumship. * Credit where it's due: All insights and data are credited to the Seth Material and the publisher, New Awareness Network. * Level up your knowledge: If you want to dive deeper into the rabbit hole of human consciousness, we highly encourage you to study the Seth Material books. You can visit the New Awareness Network website and bookstore at sethcenter.com/the-early-sessions [https://sethcenter.com/the-early-sessions] to get the full story. * Spread the word: This podcast/report is distributed free of charge on all major platforms for educational purposes.

389 Seth Finds the Hidden Strongbox

Session 389: The Intuitive Deep Dive Welcome to a deep dive into the cosmic archives. We are looking at Session 389 from The Early Sessions, Book 8 of the Seth Material, recorded on January 3, 1968. The Intellectual Wall and the Intuitive Breakthrough The session kicks off with Jane Roberts (referred to by Seth as Ruburt) feeling a bit skeptical and looking for a "definite sign" that Seth is actually who he says he is. Seth, ever the observer of human nature, points out that the brain is often the last part of the person to get the memo. * Seth explains that Ruburt’s complete belief won't come from a logical checklist, but rather through an emotional and intuitive leap. * He makes a chillingly accurate point about human psychology: "The intellect will never, alone, convince the emotions of any fact." * Seth notes that intellectual acceptance of him as a "complete survival personality" is merely the aftermath of intuitive knowledge. * He asserts that he will bring about the necessary circumstances for Ruburt to accept the situation wholeheartedly, but he needs Ruburt’s intuitive help to do it. Psychic Detective Work: The Case of Blanche Price Much of this session feels like a psychic "cold case" investigation. Jane had recently received file cards from the estate of a deceased friend, Blanche Price, and Seth decided to provide some corroborating evidence to prove his identity. * Seth describes Blanche’s room as being "predominantly blue, light blue, and pink," noting that file cabinets were tucked away under other furniture. * He reveals that letters from Ruburt were not destroyed but were tucked away in a strongbox that had been overlooked by the current executors. * Seth identifies a specific moment of regret from a Saturday afternoon on November or December 2nd, 1938 (or stemming from 1938), involving a heated argument between Blanche and her friend Anne Healy. * The argument was sparked by a man—likely Blanche’s father or a relative—and occurred near "the supper hour, and in a dining room or restaurant." * The argument was intense; Blanche apparently said something along the lines of: "When I’m dead you’ll be sorry." * Seth emphasizes that the word "freedom" was a key theme—specifically freedom from a specific situation through death. The New Game Plan: Theory and Practice As Jane’s personality begins to "rock the boat" and ask for more proof, Seth is more than happy to oblige, seeing it as a sign that the "egotistical Ruburt" is finally ready to join the adventure. * Seth observes that Ruburt has gained significant control over his physical body through his recent difficulties, which will actually allow the "spontaneous self" more freedom during sessions. * The plan moving forward is to resume a regular two-session-per-week schedule. * One session will focus on whatever Ruburt has on his mind (the "personal stuff"), while the other will be strictly dedicated to "theoretical material." * For the more experimental sessions, Seth suggests using a specific area of the room by the large windows, involving a candle protected from drafts. * Seth even hints at future visual appearances, stating: "In this case Ruburt shall see me also. Then with his full cooperation we can really begin our work." By the end of the session, Jane reported feeling quite nervous—probably because having a multidimensional personality promise to show up in your living room is enough to make anyone a bit twitchy.

episode 388 Why the Soul Chose Multiple Sclerosis artwork

388 Why the Soul Chose Multiple Sclerosis

Session 388: Cosmic Course Correction We’re looking at a transcript dated December 20, 1967, where Seth breaks down why we sometimes pick the "hard mode" in the game of life. This session was held for John and Peg Pitre, dealing with Peg’s struggle with multiple sclerosis. The Science of the "Brain Zap" Before getting into the past-life drama, Seth gets technical about how our vibes literally affect our hardware. It turns out, repression isn't just a mood killer; it's a motor system killer. * Peg’s condition involves "strong electrical brain discharges" in disorganized patterns. * Emotions are described as "electrical, magnetic realities." When you bottle them up, they don't just vanish; they cause erratic disorders in the body's stability. * Seth notes that Peg resisted hypnosis because the "intense psychic and psychological reorganization" required for recovery felt scarier than the illness itself. Karma: It’s Not a Cosmic Slap Forget what you heard about karma being a punishment for being a jerk. Seth flips the script, explaining that we choose our challenges like a soul-level CrossFit workout. * Quote: "The basic idea of karma is not punishment. Karma presents the opportunity for development; to make use of opportunities that were not taken advantage of, to fill in gaps of ignorance, to enlarge understanding through experience, to do what should be done." * Free choice is the ultimate rule. No one is forcing you into a difficult life; your "entity" (the bigger you) sets up the drama to help you grow. The Italian Soap Opera (Past Life Edition) Seth takes us back to a hill village in Southern Italy (near Ventura) to explain the root of the current situation. * The Persona: Peg was once a man named Nicolo Vanguardi. * The Conflict: Nicolo had a crippled daughter, Rosalina. He cared for her for years but was "thoroughly embittered" and resented her for ruining his chances to remarry. * The Twist: When Rosalina finally left at age 33 with a man from a nearby village, Nicolo hated her for "forsaking" him. * The Reversal: In this life, the roles are flipped. Peg is now the one being cared for, experiencing the dependency she once resented in her daughter. Interestingly, John was the man who took the daughter away in that past life. The "One-Dose" Strategy Why would anyone choose a heavy illness? According to Seth, Peg’s entity is a bit of a "daredevil" who wanted to finish her earthly business in one go. * Peg chose to "telescope" her learning into one life situation rather than spreading it out over several boring ones. * By adopting a position of dependency, she is facing "grievous flaws" like impatience and lack of compassion head-on. * Quote: "This is the last reincarnation for John’s wife because of this decision. The personality will then have experience in other than earthly existences." * Seth emphasizes that there is no "predestination." While the challenge was set, the outcome—whether recovery or early departure—is still up to the individual's choice.

386 God Expresses Himself Through Your Individuality

Session 386: A Solo Flight into the Multiverse Welcome to the cosmic lounge, where the vibes are high and the reality is thin. Today, we are diving deep into a legendary moment in psychic history: Session 386 from The Early Sessions Book 8 of the Seth Material, recorded on December 7, 1967. This wasn’t your typical scheduled sit-down. This was an unscheduled "party" of sorts—an ESP class held by Jane Roberts with a few witnesses (Audrey Shepherd, Ruth Chatfield, and Venice McCullough). The kicker? It was Jane’s first-ever solo flight. Her husband Rob was lurking in the back studio working on an index, leaving Jane to let Seth through all on her own. Talk about a major confidence boost for her psychic muscles! The Big Cosmic Picture: Key Insights Seth didn't hold back just because Rob wasn't there to take the official notes. He dropped some heavy truths about who we are and where we're going: * Death is Just a Wardrobe Change: Seth clarifies that surviving physical death isn't about becoming a nameless blob of energy. You stay you. As Seth puts it, "Those who survive physical death are individuals, as they have always been." * The Translation Problem: Our intellectual brains are a bit limited. We can’t quite grasp "pure truth" in its raw form, so it has to be served up in parables and interpretations. One part of you is pure truth; the rest of you is just trying to figure out what the heck is going on. * You’re Bigger on the Inside: You exist in more dimensions than you realize. Your reality "transcends your understanding" and your "intellectual knowledge." If you want to find the real answers, you’ve got to look for them in those quiet, intuitive moments. * God’s Unique Expression: Here’s a chillingly beautiful thought: individuality isn’t a flaw; it’s the point. Seth explains that "through your own individuality what you call God expresses himself and is known." * The Telepathic Connection: We aren't actually separated from those who have passed on. The energy that moves the universe is the same energy moving your hand right now. Seth notes that those in other dimensions will "telepathically let you understand matters that you did did not understand before." The Reincarnation Files: Audrey’s Past Lives Seth decided to get specific with Audrey Shepherd, giving her a quick tour of her own soul’s resume. It turns out she’s been quite the traveler: * The Warsaw Merchant: A male trader in Warsaw (Myshurek family) with a French wife and four kids. * The Dutch Life: An existence in Holland back in 1242. * The Spanish Chapter: A life in Spain during the 13th century. * California Dreaming: A stint in what we now call California during the early 1800s. * The Gender Balance: Across her various stays on Earth, she’s been a woman twice and a man three times. Apparently, her current love for the outdoors is a carry-over from those earlier male lives. Final Thoughts and Credits This session marks a "significant step forward" in the Seth Material, proving that the connection was strong enough to thrive even without the usual structure.
