The Personal Sessions
The Personal Sessions Books 1 through 7 of the Deleted Seth Material are complete transcripts channeled by Jane Roberts and annotated by Robert F. Butts from 1965 until Jane’s death in 1984. Originally excluded from Jane’s published works due to their personal nature, this series offers unique insight into Jane and Rob’s private lives with an intimate look into their creative partnership and marriage, Jane’s childhood trauma, psychic abilities, health challenges, and eventual physical decline. A remarkable tribute to the intersections of human nature and psychic creativity, with detailed descriptions of Framework 2 to illustrate how these teachings were integrated into their daily lives. Readers will learn from their very human trials and errors how to incorporate the teachings on an advanced level. Woven throughout the books are exercises and practical methods to access deeper dimensions of the self and awaken healing from the inside out.
It is highly recommended that readers read The Early Sessions prior to embarking on The Personal Sessions in order to understand the full context of this material.
The Personal Sessions: Book 1 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 11.5.1965 to 12.6.1971
The Personal Sessions: Book 1 of The Deleted Material focuses on the creative power of thought and belief in shaping personal reality. Seth encourages a developing awareness of habitual thinking patterns – especially negative ones – and promotes the deliberate cultivation of positive, abundant thoughts as a path to healing and transformation. He discusses time, reincarnation, and the eternal self. Exercises include psychic development techniques and the use of mental imagery to transform fears.
Themes include: role of belief in patterns of health and illness, fear of spontaneity, the dynamic forces of thought and imagination, physical results of unrecognized fear, accepting abundance in whatever way it shows itself, merging intellect with intuition, and simultaneous time.
The Personal Sessions: Book 2 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 12.8.1971 to 11.27.1973
The Personal Sessions: Book 2 of The Deleted Material emphasizes the intersection of consciousness, emotion, and creative expression when working through “negative” feelings such as anger, fear, and frustration. Seth discusses simultaneous time and how the inner self operates across dimensions, which underpins physical healing and spiritual growth. Exercises include visualization to alter the past, self-hypnosis, and Point of Power techniques.
Themes include: emotional expression and integration of previously repressed emotions, nature of consciousness and perception, merging of inner and outer realities, influence of language (especially Sumari) on translating inner experiences into physical reality, dream states, altered states, inner senses, time appearing as sound, and using suggestions to change belief patterns.
The Personal Sessions: Book 3 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 12.3.1973 to 8.22.1977
The Personal Sessions: Book 3 of The Deleted Material focuses on the power of habitual thought patterns in shaping reality with physical health, emotional well-being, and work/life circumstances. Seth discusses the balance between creativity, self-expression, and societal/cultural expectations as related to income, productivity, and self-worth. Exercises include psychological time, mental imagery, dream notebooks, and techniques to return to the present sensory experience.
Themes include: creative responsibility and self-expression, how rigid discipline and fears around spontaneity affect creative flow, interaction between physical and nonphysical self, out-of-body experiences, reincarnation, and psychic development, aligning oneself with inner impulses, fear of authority, and Ruburt’s Codicils (see Psychic Politics, by Jane Roberts – include link to that product page).
The Personal Sessions: Book 4 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 8.22.1977 to 8.28.1978
The Personal Sessions: Book 4 of The Deleted Material emphasizes the power of belief and suggestion through daily affirmations and mental focus. The role of Frameworks 1 and 2 are introduced and explored as they relate to multidimensionality and day-to-day existence. Seth again discusses the physical results of over-discipline and mistrust of the self. Exercises include the Point of Power, following natural impulses, pendulum use, and techniques to enhance dream therapy.
Themes include: beliefs as they shape physical conditions, life experiences, and creative expression, Framework 1 as the physical world of time and sensory experience, Framework 2 as a deeper, multidimensional reality where desires generate and organize events in the physical world, creativity as a vital healing and evolutionary force, trust in the body’s innate intelligence to heal, physical symptoms are not failures but results of deep-rooted resistances to shifting belief patterns.
The Personal Sessions : Book 5 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 8.30.1978 to 12.10.1980
The Personal Sessions: Book 5 of The Deleted Material continues its focus of aligning belief and imagination, trusting inner guidance, and actively engaging in creative, psychic, and physical self-healing. Exercises include more on the Point of Power, a Framework 2 visualization, healing through positive expectations, dream interpretation, identifying synchronicities.
Themes include: the nature and expansion of consciousness beyond traditional definitions, the shaping of individual and mass beliefs, connections between emotions, inner conflicts, and physical symptoms, and historical and contemporary global events (politics, religion, media, and cults movements such as Jonestown) as they illustrate private and public belief systems.
The Personal Sessions : Book 6 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 12.15.1980 to 5.10.1982
The Personal Sessions: Book 6 of The Deleted Material unravels the conflicts between public persona and private truths, tensions between spontaneous impulses and restrictive conditioning of religion, cultural taboos, and otherwise conventional beliefs, and the challenge of maintaining integrity and authenticity while living in the public eye. Exercises include: creative expression to channel spontaneous energy, focusing healing intentions toward the self, psychic “library” exercises, and recording daily improvements.
Themes include: a recurring focus on physical healing as a result of trusting the spontaneous self, the intrinsic, healing force of artistic and psychic expression, and a deep investigation into Jane’s discomfort with fame, public expectations, and her resistance to being known as a “great psychic teacher.”
The Personal Sessions : Book 7 of the Deleted Material
Dates: 5.14.1982 to 1.2.1984
The Personal Sessions: Book 7 of The Deleted Material expands upon the nature of reality, consciousness as an active and creative force, the power of belief systems both individually and en masse, and the multidimensional self.

Themes include: probable selves, parallel realities, higher aspects of consciousness, beliefs as related to illness, psychic abilities, and dreams, fear of freedom and spontaneity, the eternal soul and reincarnation.
