“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Carol left the physical class (early), but still participated at that other level of reality in the entire proceeding. Pat (Arnold), who has not attended lately, psychically is present. In that dimension therefore Ruburt was aware of both presences. He was perceiving the greater dimensions of the physical class event. In those terms Pat, who did not attend the physical class, attended a probable one; and Carol, who was not present for the end of the official class, was a participant in the probable one.

Carol was downhearted, and wanted to give herself a present. Unconsciously she chose the precise “old” class session, dealing with probabilities, and containing her description, last June, of an out-of-body episode in which she did indeed visit a probable class. That was on her mind as she fell asleep. She visited here, then, out-of-body, and was perceived by Ruburt, who was in an out-of-body state himself. Carol did not come into the room, however, but lingered with her sister (Pat) in the hall.

(This material is from the 730th session. It concerns Jane’s out-of-body experience of last night. Carol Stamp is involved, etc.

(The couple, Carol and Fred—not married—related to us a most “far-out” series of events leading to their finding out where we lived. [...] Miss Dineen told them they needn’t do so on a holiday, and the conversation among the three of them took off from there—culminating in Miss Dineen remembering that she knew us when Miss Callahan was alive, etc.—all of this after Carol and Fred had asked Miss Dineen if she knew us.

(These notes hardly do justice to the string of events that led to Carol and Fred meeting Miss Dineen—from the couple’s leaving Watkins Glen, motoring to Elmira, deciding upon how to find us, asking a policeman finally for directions to a book-store, going to the wrong bookstore—Rubin’s—just as Miss Dineen came out of the religious bookstore almost next door, Miss Dineen first directing them to 458 West Water, then remembering that we’d moved, etc. This list is not complete, but could be fleshed out should we ever want to; we have the addresses of Carol and Fred on file.

[...] During their visit the woman, Carol, several times expressed the thought that she returned the second time, to see if we were home, because “it was meant to be,” or words to that effect. [...] Carol had met an individual named Ron who had visited us here at 1730 two years or so ago—not long after we’d moved in, incidentally. [...]

(Note that in both cases, involving Rusty and Hal, and Carol and Fred, the couples returned to 1730 after their first visit had failed to make contact with us. [...]

(No sooner had I made my comments about being interrupted during a Seth session than it happened: Carol knocked on the door then came in. [...] Carol had a name tag for my wife. [...]

[...] Just as we took our break the routine visits in regard to Jane’s daily vitals began: eye drops, temperature, pulse, blood pressure [120 over 70], taken by LuAnn, Carol, and Lorrie. [...]

(Carol left the door to 330 open partially when she left, so that hall noises entered to a greater degree. [...]

[...] After Jane had rested Carol returned to take her blood pressure. “Your vital signs stay just about the same, and that’s good,” Carol told Jane—for another positive reinforcement today.

(Carol came in after knocking to take Jane’s temperature. [...]

(As soon as Carol left, Jane’s hands began to hurt and rotate in a new way at the same time, as if the palms were trying to turn up. [...]

(Last night in the mail I found Carol Steiner’s Ph.D. thesis on the Seth material, which she’d promised in November. [...] Carol wants to publish the work, and asks about a Butts-Roberts biography — something I think we’ll probably pass upon. [...]

[...] I told her that Seth didn’t go into our questions about his material in yesterday’s session, concerning changing the past from the present, nor did he comment on Carol Steiner’s Ph.D. thesis on the Seth material. [...]

(We were visited yesterday by Jane’s second cousin, Carol Dudley, of California. Carol is to send us data on Jane’s family background.

[...] In many ways, we found the situation to be quite similar to that involving the recent visits of Carol and Fred, from Canada, and of Hal and Rusty, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania—in that it seemed the necessary inner workings to bring about the ideal situation had been carried out in Framework 2. More on this can be added in later sessions. [...]

[...] I imagined the different ways magazines like The National Enquirer could trick someone into giving an interview to start with, and turn people against each other, (Carol Burnett is suing that paper—the story was in the news lately.) From there some wild stuff that doesn’t make sense now, with strange things happening to my chair pillow as I sat on it.... [...]

[...] Later one of the students, Carol, told me that although she knew the words were coming from my mouth, still she felt that they were coming from all over, from the walls themselves.

During a break, Carol read the notes that she had taken. [...]

Then a give-and-take period began in which Seth corrected Carol’s notes as she read them, added several remarks to clear certain sentences, and bantered back and forth with her. [...]

[...] Jane talked to Carole, the medium’s wife who works with him, and stated clearly that she didn’t want others claiming to speak for her Seth—who, incidentally, had told us years ago that he spoke through no one else but Jane. [...]

[...] Jane told Carole that it was okay to use the Seth name as long as claims weren’t made that the two Seths were one and the same, especially the Seth who was producing the Seth books. [...]

[...] Carol took Jane’s blood pressure. [...]

[...] Claire Crittenden, Carl Watkins, Jane and I, along with Pat Norelli, from Boston, were joined by Bill and Peg Gallagher,Doug Hicks, Danny Stimmerman, Curt Kent and Peg’s brother Dick and his wife Carol, for an even dozen present, at our apartment.

[...] This left as new witnesses Peg’s brother Dick and his wife Carol, Danny,Curt, Doug and Carl; though Carl and perhaps one or two others had at least heard mention of Seth.

[...] At 3:50 Cathy came in, then Carol. [...]

The name Carol is called Arparka now you have seen a physical object behave in a manner in which no physical object has a right to behave. [...]

(This session witnessed by: Carol Bliss, Sue Newman, Lydia Nesbitt, Jean Kluft and Connie Allison.

(On Friday evening, September 5, we had as visitors Dick and Carol Crossed; Edward Gassner, 3664 Culver Road [14622], and Bernard Houlihan, 25 Ewer Avenue [14622]—all of Rochester, New York. [...]

A distant connection here, you see, with Dickens, and little Tim of the Christmas Carol, and other connections hardly worth mentioning here.
