“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:20. Jane left trance easily. She was surprised at the Mischa material. Moreover, she had no conscious memory of my mentioning Mischa to her this afternoon, even after I recounted the little episode in detail.)

(Our dog Mischa died in 1963. Jane had him when we met in 1953.

(This data was quite unexpected by us, although this afternoon I had mentioned Mischa to Jane in passing, remarking on a similarity of pose struck by our cat Willy as he stood in the studio, intently listening to a sound outside. I hadn’t intended that any remark of mine about the dog lead to this kind of data, nor did Jane interpret it that way. In fact, we know so little about animals, let alone animal reincarnation, as far as this material goes, that it hasn’t occurred to us to ask this kind of question . By “this territory” Seth meant Elmira, New York.

(Leaning forward.) The marking reminiscent of the affair at Saratoga. And to your question, yes. (Mischa had briefly tussled with another dog.)

1. Seth first mentioned viruses in the 17th session for January 26, 1964, when I asked him to comment upon the recent deaths of our dog, Mischa, at the age of 11, and of a pair of kittens Jane had obtained from the janitor of the art gallery where she worked part time. [...]

Mischa, who was part shelty, or Shetland collie, was the last dog we’ve had. [...]

(“Seth, Jane has wanted to know what was going on here in the house during the time our dog Mischa died, and when the two cats also died.”)

(Our dog Mischa was 11 years old when he died of kidney failure.)

[...] It was impossible, Joseph, for your parents to even be decent when you returned from Florida for the same reason that you and Ruburt were unable to help your Mischa in his time of need. [...]

[...] We had our dog Mischa with us. [...]

[...] There is a Baltimore connection, in that Baltimore is mentioned on the pepper can, as explained; also, Jane has a photo of herself taken on a set of the typical white Baltimore stone steps, with her dog, Mischa, now dead.

(Jane also blamed herself for the death of Mischa & the cats.)

[...] The photo was of our dog, Mischa, now dead. [...]

[...] Jane’s father, Del, traveled with his trailer from Los Angeles to meet us in Daytona Beach, Florida; we followed him to Marathon, in the Florida Keys, where we lived with him and Mischa and Del’s Great Dane, Boo, in that wonderful climate while Jane put in the required few weeks of residency that Florida divorce law required. [...] We thanked him, said good-bye to him and Boo and headed north with Mischa in my ancient Cadillac. [...]

[...] Mischa died, and I buried him in a flower bed in back of 458, as we called the house; we were left with our two cats. [...] (See that last volume for my drawing of Mischa.) It took a while after the publication of The Seth Material for the first seemingly innocuous signs of conflict within Jane’s psyche—the symptoms—to appear.

[...] Jane named that loving young creature Mischa, and he was to offer her great comfort for years, just as he did to me when later we met. [...]

[...] Jane’s dog, Mischa, slept at her feet. [...]

[...] The dog, Mischa, is now dead. [...]

[...] Also see the 17th and 66th sessions for material on the death of our dog, Mischa.

[...] Our old pet dog, Mischa, had died. [...]

[...] This would be 3 years ago; Jane said she recalled this vividly because our dog, Mischa, died within two days or so of that long-ago appointment. [...]

[...] She still misses our dog Mischa, who died three years ago. [...]
