       "Seth Applied"

Researching the Jane Roberts Papers

     The name of this web site, SethApplied, expresses my desire to see the ideas in the Seth material reflected in my world. My personal life goal is to understand and use the ideas to the best of my ability. In doing so I do not feel it necessary to denigrate the truth of others, or insist that my way is the only way. I am merely following my own inclinations and recognizing the authority of my own being. Living the ideas is my way of thanking Jane Roberts, Robert Butts and Seth for the magnificent body of work they produced.

     I have been researching the Jane Roberts Papers archived at Yale University Library since 1998. This is an independent project and was started because of an immense desire to follow my dream. It seemed to be my “job” and I was led to it by following my impulses.













      I consider my research project my personal value fulfillment. It is something that brings me great satisfaction – and even more than that, it is FUN!

     When I began my project, I had no pre-determined final product in mind. I believed it would unfold over time. My interest is not in publishing or writing a biography of Jane Roberts. Instead I am developing a tool to aid future researchers. This magically reflects my trust that this material will continue to grow in importance in our society.

     During the first phase of my research my time was primarily devoted to data entry. I found that keying information gave me greater insight into some otherwise almost invisible entries on a page. While doing that, I compiled spreadsheets of names, dates, and places, as well as lists of articles published and other information I wanted to research further.

     While I am still keying information, I have begun to spend more time doing other projects. I’ve spent time in the Elmira, Sayre and Saratoga Springs libraries going through old city directories and newspaper microfilms. That has helped me identify people and their relationship to Jane and Rob.

     Currently one of my main activities is finding and interviewing people who knew Jane and/or Rob. I am actively seeking photographs, audio tapes, letters, cards, and paintings to add to the collection. Another part of my project includes recording anecdotes, impressions and experiences of people who knew Jane and Rob – whether members of the ESP class, neighbors, friends, or visitors.

  How You Can Help:
     If you had any contact with Jane or Rob, either by phone, or having visited them, or through having corresponded with them, I would love to hear about it. Even if you didn’t know them personally but have some information about them that you would be willing to share, I would be very interested.
     If you feel inclined, donations to fund my project are greatly appreciated.

 "The 'you' that you presently conceive yourself to be represents the emergence into physical experience of but one probable state of your being, who then directs corporeal life and 'frames' and defines all sense data. When your ideas about you change, so does your experience." -- Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality
