“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Unfortunately, we are unable to distinguish here as to whether Jane pronounced the word forefinger, or the two words, fourth finger. Her diction was not quite clear enough on the tape for us to distinguish between the two. The question arises because after the session Lee Wright said that as a youngster he had injured the forefinger of his left hand. Indeed his finger bears even now a scar near the tip. Seth’s use of the phrase “at one time,” could refer, we suppose, to either a past life of Lee’s, or an earlier period in his present one.

(February 7, Sunday, 10:45 PM approx.: While trying our seance with Lee and Judy Wright, I had a quick impression that a man stood to one side of me. He wore I believe a dark suit of some kind. It was not Rob or Lee, and Judy sat opposite me on the divan. When I turned quickly to look there was no one there. No one else saw it, upon my questioning.

(Recently Jane and I have made friends with a younger couple from Texas, Judy and Lee Wright. They have lived in Elmira [NY] for a year, and are interested in psychic study.

(We became cramped physically. Jane’s voice also tired, so to relieve her I began to speak. Now Jane, Judy and Lee were prone upon the floor by the divan. Our idea was that our receptive state might make it possible for one of us to speak for another personality should one be present, or for another level of the self. I did not try to bring Seth into the experiment. I had been speaking for perhaps ten minutes, however, when Jane abruptly began to speak for Seth from her prone position. She lay flat on her back but soon sat up.

[...] This time Lee Wright seemed to respond to Jane’s suggestions; these suggestions were not specifically directed at Lee, but were generalized statements designed to set a mood, etc. [...]

(It is of interest to note that Judy and Lee do not know about Seth, or the existence of the material. Twice during the seance Lee obtained effects or results which seem to fit in with Seth’s description of some of the inner senses and their use. [...]

(We tried an impromptu seance with our guests, Judy and Lee Wright, Sunday evening. [...]

(Lee Wright also breathed very heavily during the seance, felt a great relaxation, and yet also felt he could end the experiment at any time. [...]

One of the writers mentioned in the first paragraph of this note is Lee R. Gandee. Tam Mossman edited Lee’s autobiography, Strange Experience, which was published in 1971 by Prentice-Hall. In Chapter 9 of his book Lee describes a double dream experience of his that also contained strong precognitive elements. [...]

Ever since she began studying Jane’s work fourteen years ago, my companion, Laurel Lee Davies, has been very conscious of the conflict between the rationalistic dominance so common in our culture, and the potential for greater development that she sensed within herself. [...]

(Yesterday I received in the mail a copy of a long article that Sam Menahem, a psychologist in Fort Lee, New Jersey, has written for a summer issue of Reality Change. [...]

[...] See the material on the double dreams of Sue Watkins, Lee R. Gandee, and myself in Session 692, with its Note 2, for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality.

My friend, Laurel Lee Davies, photographed me in 1986, two years after Jane’s death.

Jane and I had corresponded with Laurel Lee Davies for several years. [...]

[...] Laurel Lee Davies, a native of Iowa, wrote to me from California after Jane’s death in September 1984, She was 29, I was 65. [...]

[...] On an entirely different level, one of your old favorites, Peggy Lee, has severe physical difficulties that are meant actually to contain her energy and force it along certain lines only.

(Herbert Hoover, the Mayo brothers, Susan B. Anthony and Robert E. Lee appear on some of the stamps; I suppose any of these could be connected with “something splendid.” [...]

[...] But I know that I’ve also met a counterpart outside of class, and later in life: Laurel Lee Davies, the beautiful young lady from Iowa who’s been my loving companion for some years now, following Jane’s death in 1984. [...]

[...] A shorter repetition, also recorded, was given for Judy and Lee Wright on the evening of February 12, Friday. [...]

[...] And Laurel Lee Davies, the young lady who’s now helping me carry on my publishing activities, at once intuitively picked out from my files the one right photograph of Jane to us for Seth, Dreams … Jane’s father, Delmer Roberts, took the snapshot when she was on vacation with him in Baja, California in 1951. [...]

[...] I’ve already referred to Laurel Lee Davies, the young lady who now works with me (and is helping especially with proofreading and answering mail). [...]

[...] See the 129th session, witnessed by Judy and Lee Wright.

[...] They did appear: Judy and Lee Wright, who witnessed the unscheduled 129th session, incidentally, that was held that same evening, February 7,1965. [...]

[...] She had briefly used a prone position once before, in the unscheduled 129th session, witnessed by Judy and Lee Wright. [...]

[...] “The Red Wagon” is included in the collection Ladies of Fantasy/Two Centuries of Sinister Stories by The Gentle Sex, © 1975 by Manley and Lewis, and published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., New York, N.Y., 10016.

[...] I often feel that Laurel Lee Davies, a native of Iowa who came to me from California on August 23, 1985, 11 months after Jane’s death, helped transform me. [...]
