Thank you for your part in this adventure, and I trust you will enjoy listening to Rob, Jane and Seth. Without their help and the cooperation of many amazing people, this CD would not have been possible. Mary, remembered for her hearty laugh, cheerful personality and generous spirit, is deeply missed by many. What items could be imagined, created and found in the unit? With Laurel’s encouragement and consent, I bought it.īefore the day ended I had friends offer a van and help in retrieving the items and transporting them from Elmira to New Haven. Mary was generous with her knowledge of the Seth material, and was a frequent presenter at Seth Net International, the Colorado Seth Conference, The California Seth Conference, the New Awareness Network online conference, and others. The detailed contents were unknown, but how could a treasure-hunting Seth reader, researcher and collector such as myself pass up this opportunity? Such excitement. She believed there were some items and papers important to the collection that would have been discarded by a stranger who was unfamiliar with their historical value.

Laurel was interested in having someone familiar with the Jane/Rob/Seth material purchase it. The Seth material is the only work of metaphysical literature in the archives of Yale University, attesting to its quality and significance. It’s challenging to find a context for chronic illness which doesn’t seem to fit with creating our own reality. On Januwhile at a Seth conference in Los Angeles, CA, I purchased a storage unit from Laurel Davies-Butts. Anyone exploring the Seth material has to confront the circumstances surrounding Jane Roberts’ later years, the illness that hospitalized her for most of the last 2 years of her life, and her early death at age 55. It includes a booklet with the previously unpublished session along with Rob’s background notes on the making of the audiotape.

Butts, Jane Roberts and Seth on April 29, 1970. Mary’s notes: My research project took an unexpected turn this year, and I am pleased to release the compact disc, Seth’s Overview of the Seth Material: From an Audiotape Made by Robert F.
