In The Early Sessions Book 1, Seth gives a profound account of "extrasensory perception" (ESP, or "so-called extrasensory perception"). He analyzes this capacity not only from the levels of human civilization, cultural prejudice, and the inner senses, but also demonstrates its concrete operation through Jane Roberts's personal practice in the sessions. First, Seth points out that extrasensory perception is essentially closely related to the "inner senses." On the human level of existence, communication between the "entity" and the "whole self" is carried out precisely through the inner senses ^[1]. In many primitive societies, this communication through the inner senses was fully accepted as reality, but it is not so accepted in modern Western civilization ^[1]. Second, Seth criticizes the narrow attitude of Western society toward "so-called extrasensory perception." Although the Western world is conducting a great deal of investigation and research into ESP, Western people, because they insist on an artificial dual nature, have actually cut themselves off from half of their own abilities and knowledge ^[1]. Western education, the patterns of daily life, and cultural values tend to imprison people so that they can only observe other societies through the haze of their own misunderstandings ^[1]. For example, Westerners often regard African natives as superstitious, stupid, and almost prehistoric creatures, and therefore sneer at the evidence of "so-called extrasensory perception" manifested among these natives, dismissing it as proof of a "childlike mentality" ^[1]. This arrogance cuts Westerners off from primitive societies, from which they could otherwise learn much about these capacities that they themselves refuse to acknowledge ^[1]. Finally, the book also records the actual manifestation of extrasensory perception in the Seth sessions. Jane had planned to write a book about ESP, and Seth affirmed this and pointed out that the material they accumulated through the channeling would naturally help Jane in writing the book ^[2]. In the actual sessions, Jane displayed an extremely strong extrasensory perceptual ability: before the board spelled out the answers, and even before Rob (Joseph) spoke the questions aloud or wrote them down, Jane had already received the questions and Seth's answers ^[2]. Seth explained that Jane maintained a certain reservation and caution toward the contact with Seth precisely because she would receive the information before it was spelled out, and this experience of receiving in advance would naturally make a person cautious ^[2]. In summary, at the stage of The Early Sessions Book 1, Seth locates extrasensory perception as an inner-sense communication capacity that is suppressed by modern Western civilization because of cultural prejudice but treated as normal in primitive societies, and he makes a vivid on-the-spot demonstration of it through Jane's immediate sensing.

In The Early Sessions Book 2, Seth, Jane, and Rob engage in a multidimensional discussion and practice of the concept of "extrasensory perception (ESP)." According to the relevant records in the book, extrasensory perception is not a magic trick or special ability used for showing off, but a deep perceptual ability that can only be steadily acquired through long-term training, discipline, and the development of the inner senses.

First, the development of extrasensory perception is a "lifelong project" requiring strict training and discipline. Seth clearly states that he will not provide miracles or perform tricks in order to convince anyone. The steady development of extrasensory perception requires long-term effort and discipline, just as the results achieved by Jane (Ruburt) and Rob (Joseph) at that time were also built upon prior hard work and discipline. Seth emphasizes that he would rather have slow and certain results than flashy displays that cannot be sustained. Therefore, unless there is a deep purpose, he will not allow Jane to perform levitation or any clairvoyant display. The true development of extrasensory perception lies in the cultivation of the inner senses, not in a "fireworks show" performed for the sake of display [chunk 4122].

Second, extrasensory perception is accompanied by unique physical and emotional responses in individual experience. In Jane's manuscript about ESP, she discussed the feeling of "ecstasy" that she experienced. In addition, when Rob was reading the manuscript, he experienced a unique phenomenon that Seth called the "feeling of sound." As the siren of an ambulance gradually faded, an intense, rich tingling sensation from head to toe and a deep inner trembling swept over Rob, giving him a feeling as if he were about to be lifted up. After overcoming the initial fright, this feeling became very pleasant and sensuous, demonstrating the close connection between extrasensory perception, bodily perception, and the flow of energy [chunk 4158].

Finally, extrasensory perception manifests in practical application as sensing and telepathic communication that transcend physical barriers. In an experiment conducted by Rob to induce a deeper state of consciousness, he successfully entered a deeper secondary state and received clear extrasensory information. He heard a female voice say "it is time for coffee," and saw the smiling face of the landlady and a picture of someone dragging a tarpaulin in the camping area. It was later confirmed that at the same time Rob was conducting the experiment, Jane, who was sitting in the living room separated from Rob by two closed doors, was strongly thinking about having missed her coffee break because she had been too busy at the gallery that day and had missed afternoon tea. This experiment powerfully demonstrates how extrasensory perception (such as telepathy) occurs between individuals, even under conditions of physical isolation, through the tuning of consciousness and the induction of deep states [chunk 4371].

In summary, the extrasensory perception (ESP) in this book is not only concerned with the awakening of the inner senses and the actual manifestation of telepathy, but also emphasizes the discipline and seriousness that must be maintained in the process of development, rejecting any superficial curiosity-driven display.

In The Early Sessions Book 3, Seth offers a profound demystification of "so-called extrasensory perception" (ESP) and connects it with the limitations of human cognition of reality. The book also records various ESP experiments conducted by Jane and Rob in their daily lives and their relationship with the development of the Seth material.

I. The core essence of ESP: the recognition of unacknowledged data Seth points out that "so-called extrasensory perception" is currently mistakenly regarded as an isolated, strange field unrelated to other areas of knowledge ^[1]. This prejudice stems from humanity's insistence on acknowledging only the field of reality in which it finds itself, thereby severely limiting the data that can reach its consciousness and attempting to construct a model of the universe with only a few clues ^[1]. In fact, ESP and many related attempts merely represent the recognition by certain people of "important data that are usually unacknowledged" ^[2]. ESP experiments appear to be isolated, disconnected events only because the overall context that allows them to exist and function has not yet been understood or acknowledged by humanity ^[2].

II. The inner mechanisms of telepathy and clairvoyance Seth further clarifies the operating mechanisms of two common phenomena in ESP, telepathy and clairvoyance:

1. The universality of telepathy: Telepathy is constantly taking place in all fields of reality. Because no system is truly closed, telepathy even occurs continuously between cells within the physical body ^[2].
2. The physical and temporal basis of clairvoyance: Clairvoyance exists and is possible because it is grounded in "the spacious present," and matter and energy are essentially the same thing ^[2]. Seth points out that the bodily organs themselves possess clairvoyant ability, because the organs are not only "matter," but matter formed from energy combinations ^[2].
3. The relationship between inner perceptual data and the ego: These inner data are continuously and automatically accepted by every part of the human body except the "outer ego." Although the outer ego is unwilling to admit that it has received this information, it often acts on this information without knowing it, thereby saving itself from miserable situations ^[2].

III. The practice of ESP experiments and the birth of the Seth material The book records in many places the ESP experiments conducted by Jane, Rob, and their friends:

1. Experimental forms and states: Their experiments included attempts to produce physical effects, sitting quietly in the dark, holding hands around a coffee table, and Jane's production of monotonous repetitive sounds to guide relaxation ^[3]. In some experiments, the participants were able to reach a light hypnotic state ^[4].
2. The focusing of psychic energy: Seth reminded them that in order to achieve results in ESP experiments, the mental and psychic energy of the participants must be focused in these directions over a relatively long period of time ^[5].
3. The connection with the Seth material: When Jane was writing her book on ESP, Hidden Powers Within You; How to Make ESP Work, she designed some experiments in the book for readers to try, and it was one of these that led to the development of her own "Seth material" ^[6]. Seth also accurately predicted on several occasions the successful publication of this ESP book ^[6].

Through these discussions, the book shows that ESP is not a supernatural miracle, but an inner perceptual channel that human beings originally possess yet neglect due to self-imposed limitations.
