THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN…
Okay here’s our update… Today is September 5, 2024 as I write this page that I hope to update you on everything, and offer insights as to what it’s really like here… all the accomplishments we’ve made… and the hopes and dreams we have for the future… but first…
Today is a significant day.
Exactly 40 years ago, the great american author Jane Roberts died.
Here at The Seth House – where she lived for 15 years and wrote most of her books, we honor her life and the amazing contribution she has given to humanity with the outpouring of information she gave us –
and especially the breakthrough information from SETH – who she channeled.
Welcome to what is becoming a stream of consciousness, a rough draft, by me, trying to tell the tale of a House and the story of a remarkable historical event that happened here, where I’m typing to you now, and doing my very best to express, more than I probably can express, but I’ll do my best, and I’ll keep doing it…
My name is Oshara Waago.
I got myself into this project 8 years ago this month – happy anniversary to me.
More details will flow through about that further down as this contemplation page continues.
I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS PAGE OF REFLECTIONS
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THERE IS SO MUCH TO TELL YOU AND I WILL DO MY BEST…
I’m just starting to put this page together… Throwing ideas around… but wanting to share from the heart, this remarkable journey…
I am about to send out a Newsletter to direct people to see this page so they can check it out… Also posting on our Facebook page. Welcome – Welcome – Welcome – to you who is reading this now – however you got here
It may seem pre-mature to send out the word to come see this page before I’m done, (but I’ll never be done) and this is how it’s flowing, and the best way to get is started is to allow you to watch the process unfold, rough drafts and all, over the course of the next several days. I hope you want to check back in as I bare my soul a little more everyday.
AND THERE WILL BE PICTURES…
Here’s to creativity in the rough… I want to really share with you so many things about what’s going on here, things that only I know and have experienced here, because I’m the only one on the front lines here experiencing this uniquely original journey…
With much gratitude to those who have helped, volunteered, cared, or contributed.
I have to unpack some tales to tell and I’m having a feeling that I’m going to pour my guts out, and my heart, so here goes…
2024 … So Far…
We’ve a lot to be proud of this year, and I wanted to start saying so in this page…
We were blessed enough to have some volunteers, humans, who helped us out this year with many projects.
So many happy happenings have occurred and there will be more in the future.
Keep reading, I’ll recount as we go…
EVENTS
May 2024 we celebrated Jane Roberts’ Birthday – with a multi-day event.
June 2024 we celebrated Rob Butts’s Birthday – with a multi-day event as well.
Meeting new friends, welcoming new people.
We proved again that we can bring people together here and have a good time honoring Seth with each other.
Then we started a “Free Fridays” gathering that ran for 4 Fridays in a row. We know we can make these get-togethers happen. And we will be having more cozy social groups again soon.
A huge big focus of 2024
has been – and will always be – the ongoing
BUILDING REPAIR
We patched some holes on the roof of the main house. We will patch more holes on the Carriage House soon.
We can’t afford a whole new roof, so here’s to bandaids. They work. Before winter, before the snow, we have got to get this happening.
The ceiling fell down in the Carriage House – Sheetrock it’s called – We haven’t quite got it fixed yet, though we did bag the insulation (20 bags). Looking for a sheetrock expert and hope to find a new all-round handymany soon.
I’ve interviewed and tried to work with handiman, however, I see the tragedy of drug abuse. People with skills, but people with addictions, they don’t show up on time for an interview or to do work, or they don’t show up at all. They disappear. But still, we get things done, minus the human drama.
Fixing a house costs money… We would love Help with Grant Writing.
If there is anyone out there who would like to work on this behalf, we already love you.
Unfortunately, I have met with such utter failure in the grant writing process,
so much so that I have nose-dived into debilitating despair over it…
there must be people out there who know just the right things to say…
So far, all along
ALL OF THE FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT – ALL ALONG – HAS BEEN FROM
REAL HUMAN BEINGS
WHO HAVE DONATED THE MONEY NEEDED
TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN
Almost 450 donors, from as little as a dollar to as much as many thousands… People who love the Seth Books, or at least know a good home repair project when they see it. Bless them all… I love you… and please keep it coming.
READ ON – I WILL SAY MORE ABOUT ALL THAT TOO
AS I FLOW ON DOWN THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
I’m going to jump around a bit as I’m pouring out these stories… enjoy the ride… it may get bumpy…
GARDENING!
That’s what we’ve worked on so hard this year – and it was all worth it.
We started in May 2024 and oh my look what we’ve done… okay, I’ll upload pics later today…
MAY • JUNE • AUGUST • SEPTEMBER
Day after day, in record breaking hot and humid weather, I was guided and pushed myself to make a beautiful landscaping mission of the whole property.
Thanks to Josh, Nancy, Gabriele – for lending their hands to get dirty with me and helping to answer questions and kickstart some digging, pulling, planting, and adoring nature as it sprouts and smiles. Our neighbor April, also repairing her house and gardening, has been a cheeful inspiration, we bolster each other up when the going gets rough.
I SWEAR I WILL POST PICTURES OF THE GARDEN
It was literaly a junkyard here a few years ago.
Ya see, I need to really express to you all that has gone on, but rather than report diligently and regularly with all the pictures and video I have taken, I move onto the next project and the next. But I hope the true telling of this journey of tranformation for this place can be rightly told. With miles of video I have taken and thousands upon thousands of pictures. We just need someone else who can string it all together. Video tech, photo collections… oh and all told with good humor… and there is so much more to come…
Come on people – let’s move this movement…
I have failed you… I feel that in these 8 years I have really been a poor public relations person, not documenting and reporting to you nearly enough – That’s why I need HELP here in this regard. I’m not tech savvy like so many people are, and I know this has been a wonderful story to tell, the improvements to this building and the thousands of people who have visitited, and telling what this place – was – is – and will be – all about.
Some of the typoes and grammatical creativity here, I am okay with in a playful way – and some of it needs an extra editor another set of eyeballs – but for now, you are just getting me today… read on…
Legalities, paperwork, bookkeeping, and all that stuff is nightmare-ish.
I hate it. But I have learned the ropes begrudgingly.
And now I’m glad for what I know about the business side of things.
We’ve also been seriously betrayed by people we trusted. Yeah, it’s all about learning and growing up.
Knowing to be cautious, seeing through lies people tell, and being grateful for the word “Goodbye.”
I’ve had to learn more than I ever wanted about this Life Stuff, but I have learned… almost too much …
Still believing there are and there will be good souls to help… and there is a certain divine timing…
When we are an all grown up smooth running Non-Profit Organization, I’m sure it will develop into a smooth-running machine… For now though, we’re humans, we’re grassroots, and maybe these are the happiest memories we’ll have.
WE STARTED A LEGAL ENTITY
A 501c3 NON-PROFIT ORGNIZATION
in 2017
Why? – I’ll explain later.
WHY IS THIS PROJECT IMPORTANT?
Because what Seth said IS IMPORTANT
It has helped so many people and it will help so many more.
Now more than ever, the human spirit needs the knowledge
that Seth gave us, and continues to give.
Soooooooo not perfect….
We admit we’re not doing everything perfectly, every day, the first time out… It’s all a new frontier in doing everything that is required in this work.
But as if by magic, it’s working, even if it’s the “only human” aspects that are sometimes bumbling innocently through it all. But we’re learning more every day. And we will continue to learn and grow and give of ourselves wisely.
We’re making it up as we go along. We were not born knowing everything. We step into it every day. We figure it out, We fall, get hurt, despair. Then we can only keep going and do the next thing. The intentions were good walking into this project, and it’s a very huge project.
I’m proud of the amazing progress – It’s been a literal series of miracles every day.
Trust me, things aren’t perfect. I am not perfect. I am only sincere.
We walked into a mess, and things are improving.
Someday… who knows what will happen here… but there will be more miracles…
We know what already has happened on this sacred site … timeless… beautiful…
IT HAS BEEN
EXACTLY 8 YEARS this month
September 2016-September 2024
… and it hasn’t killed me yet…
If you’d have told me this was what I was walking into 8 years ago…
I would have felt as blessed then as I do today.
What a privilage and an honor to make this place a hub of seth community all over the earth. To sit in the room that Seth spoke, reading the books, looking around and realizing, oh my god hit happened here… the thrill has never left me. It happened here.
I’m writing this in the apartment where Jane Roberts channeled Seth… and I am still in awe.
That’s why the place needs to be restored and made a public place for those who appreciate the Seth Material. For those who will take this information to the next level, for those yet born to appreciate that this generation had enough where-with-all to realize, yes it does matter to honor this old house.
If any house on earth should be honored and preserved – it’s this one.
The “MUCH-NEEDED-IMPROVEMENTS”
& “TO-DO” LIST
Electrical Re-wiring in Basement to Merge 9 power boxes into one, thereby saving almost $200 per month. This may cost upwards of $2000. I hope I found an electrician to do the work, I’ll meet him tomorrow. But we also have to pay him. Hint-hint-hing.
Roof of Carriage House – Bandaid Patching – High Hundreds …. Or the “Edging Area”
Many Crazy Thousands of Dollars.
A few more Plant Babies for the Garden – $100+
Next year we hope to PAINT THE MAIN HOUSE! – $50,000-$100,000 – Exterior repair…
Don’t forget there are 2 Buildings on this lot – so double that price to also fix THE CARRIAGE HOUSE…
Excuse me while I ‘gulp’ and let my head spin… We need angelic donors, benefactors, friends.
Grant writers who know how to get results is a fine daydream as well…
Have I told you lately that this project has not killed me yet? It bears repeating…
ALL THAT SAID
THE REASON WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS
IS FROM THE LOVING DONATIONS OF OUR SUPPORTERS.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAUSE. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.
THE SETH HOUSE IS A 501C3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
DESIGNED TO RESTORE THE BUILIDNG WHERE JANE ROBERTS CHANNELED SETH
AND WHERE MOST OF THEIR BOOKS WERE CHANNELED/WRITTEN.
The place was such a frightening mess 8 years ago.
It needed love. And because of people who care, it transforms.
Of prime importance, the work of Seth – Jane – and Rob,
and the place where it happened, Needed to be Honored.
So we’ve been doing the work that should have been done long before now… and we’re till at it.
Your donations are tax-deductible – the bigger the better.
WE ALSO WANT TO DO ALL WE CAN
TO PROMOTE THE WISDOM OF SETH
AND WE HOPE TO DO A LOT MORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
That’s the true mission of this place,
to share Seth with a world that sure could use some healing words of wisdom.
So as we progress here with many things, our hope is to be more consistantly
about giving Seth’s messages more and more oomph.
Using social media, podcasting, publishing and more.
JOIN US IN THESE EFFORTS
I swear, you will learn so much.
PLEASE VOLUNTEEER – if you would like to lend a hand and heart
to helping the words of Seth reach out into the world even more.
We love our volunteers, and we love our financial supporters…
that’s what this takes to make the Seth House Vision become an awesome reality, more and more every day…
Thank you.
We mean it.
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE ON THIS PAGE WHERE I HAVE
THE PAYPAL DONATION LINK
and our MAILING ADDRESS
Please click and follow your guidance…
Here it is:
Or Send a Check to PO Box 458, Elmira NY 14902
Every penny goes to improving the place, paying the bills, putting out the word,
and making miracles happen.
It’s all for Seth…
and it’s all for the humans who will benefit from the knowledge given…
Okay, I still have a ton of other thoughts to share with you.
But I’m going to go have breakfast now, and coffee, and maybe a little walkabout.
I’ll get started again when I feel the oomph to tell you more…
I woke up this morning with
more funny stories I wanted to share with you,
some insiders gossip, some kvetching,
and bountiful-bigmouth-visionspeak to share with you.
So that’s still to come…
I really do love this place,
and so do our 450 (so far) donors.
I hope these writings inform and inspire you,
and that people everywhere to support this project,
and to understand how important it really is to so many people
to find out more about the message and meaning within the Seth Books.
Truly enlightening.
There is much humor to share with you… I swear, everything about the past present and future of this place is a SITUATION COMEDY, and more. It has its heartache too, and like most fine art, it’s real life, and runs the gammot of everything that being human is all about. And knowing that we are all so much more than this one expression of human existance in this one time and place…
The story of what happened here 6o years ago, how Jane Roberts had one of the most memorable and remarkable ongoing spiritual experiences on record… SHE CHANNELED SETH! … And that bares repeating and that requires in depth investigation and discovery.
And, oh yeah – this is the place where it happened. This is where a new movement of consciousness began.
So it should at least be a pretty place… a nice place to sit and read… and to talk with others who get it too…
and we should share the good words with the rest of our human family, all right here where these remarkable conversations began…
Wait – Didn’t I say I was going to take a break? Like breakfast or something?
Okay, this has been part 1 … Keep coming back … There’s a lot more to be said… and I’ll keep saying it….
and there’ll be pictures too…
