“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On Sunday afternoon, August 8, Jane and I attended the funeral of my Aunt Ella Buck in Wellsburg, NY, a nearby small town. Ella was my father’s sister and died at 88. My mother and father and my brother Loren and his wife and son were also there. I had seen very little of Aunt Ella over the years, and Jane had met her twice, as best we can recall. I thought it might be interesting to ask Seth to comment on Ella, so I also mentioned this subject just before the session.

(As stated before, Jane met Ella twice, both times rather briefly some years ago, and has no idea how much she remembers of the visits subconsciously. Jane met Ella’s husband Wilbur once; he died a few years ago. I remember Wilbur as a small gentle man who was a tailor and who smoked strong cigars. He had a white mustache and a gravel voice. I recall that the family accused him of drinking heavily and of not taking care of Ella, although I recall no objective evidence of this. I always liked Wilbur. After his death Ella was moved to a nursing home.

(Alice is a cousin to my family although we barely know her. Ella was greatly attached to her, I believe, and the two women spent some time together in the same rest home. Alice was a missionary in Korea for many years. She left the home where Ella was staying a year before Ella’s death. At the funeral Sunday we heard that Alice, at 80-odd years, was still alive, traveling about the country at the moment in connection with the sale of some property.)

(Here Jane’s voice began to deepen and grow a bit louder. Jane knows rather little about my family history. Seth is correct in stating that my father’s older brother, my Uncle Jay, who is also dead, was connected with Ella in this life; he was very protective toward her, and after he died eight years ago his wife continued to watch over Ella.

[...] The third time was at the funeral of my Aunt Ella on August 8,1965, in Wellsburg, NY. [...] In addition Seth dealt at length with Aunt Ella in the 176th session of August 9,1965, the day after her funeral. Note that the object was secured two months after Aunt Ella’s funeral. [...] Jane possessed strong emotional memories regarding the funeral, and clairvoyant knowledge of the envelope object in some form; evidently Seth responded to, or deliberately chose, what he perceived as the stronger intensities pertaining to Aunt Ella’s funeral over the object itself.

(Jane said that while giving the data this evening she thought of Aunt Ella by name, but did not give voice to this.

(It will be more convenient to go through the data by topic. First then follows the connections with Aunt Ella’s funeral through Aunt Mabel, with brief descriptions.

[...] This refers to a series of telephone calls Jane found herself involved in when Aunt Ella died unexpectedly. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There is a woman who will be waiting for your father, beside Ella. [...]

[...] Ella was the one strong enough to give love to another, you see, in her relationship to her husband. [...]

[...] His mother and Ella (his sister) are with him. [...]

[...] Telling myself I would visit Ed and Ella, I then glimpsed a teen-age girl talking on the telephone. [...]

[...] She said Seth might have mentioned it during Monday’s session had he not devoted the session to the material on my Aunt Ella.)

(I told myself I would visit Ed and Ella Robbins. [...]

[...] In the above episode, although I did not visit Ed and Ella, I did visit somebody. [...]

[...] At the age of 15 my father, Robert Sr., followed his three older siblings, Jay and Ernest and Ella, in leaving the farm. [...] After Jay and Ella had each married they settled in Elmira. [...]

[...] I could live with him and his wife Ella and their children until I found a place for myself if our arrangement worked out.

[...] Ed added that a few days later, on Saturday night, the Zehs were to join a gathering of friends at his and Ella’s home in Schuylerville.
