“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A very successful session was held this evening for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli. The session was taped by Pat. She is a teacher in a Boston high school and has taken the tape to school; when she sends a transcript of the session it will be given below.

(The balance of the session was material Seth delivered to be played for Pat’s high-school class of exceptional students, and is, we think, excellent. The students are acquainted with Seth through Pat’s efforts, and this enables Seth to get to the point concerning the idea of the material.

(This material was given in two sessions of about 20 minutes each. We thought the session ended with the first 20-minute delivery, but after a break Jane returned as Seth for more material. The presence of witnesses encouraged her; strong voice effects began to show themselves, the best in many sessions and toward the end of the Pat’s delivery, Jane achieved a projection to the Boston classroom of Pat’s special class. In many ways Jane regards this session as one of the best ever. Toward the last part of the session her delivery was very strong and forceful; very fast and emphatic and impressive; her eyes were closed for the most part, and she was really out.

(Session for Pat Norelli of Boston. Recorded and typed by Pat.

([Pat:]I had been terrified of my father for the first 19 years of my life. [...]

([Pat:]I had a crush on Mr. Finfrock for three years, grades 7 to 9. All the girls had a crush on him. [...]

[...] After though, Pat Norelli (I think it was her, though she didn’t look like Pat particularly) myself and two young men were climbing along a high ledge toward the top of the gigantic theater. [...] Pat went on along the ledge to where it met the front wall but I was frightened of falling and stayed where I was with the young man who was my companion, When Pat reached that point, the young man who was her companion did something.... [...] I yelled “Pat;” meaning to wait, she responded, grinning. [...]

(A note here: Seth told Pat that she had a strong interest in history which could be utilized along with a writing ability; then Pat told us that she majored in history in college; we just took it for granted she majored in English since she teaches it.

(The Seth voice did come through to some considerable extent in the last portion of the session addressed to Pat’s students. [...]

[...] During this session, part of it at least, I seemed to be viewing a classroom, presumably Pat’s; at first I looked down upon the room from above, then moved to a vertical position, searching for a particular seat. [...]

(Pat could offer no confirmation concerning H B. Pat also said that two women were in her honors class when she played the tape; one of these being a Radcliffe student teacher. Pat also played the tape for a girl friend of hers outside of school: Ellen Tabb, and Ellen’s friend, Adrian, a male. This makes a total of three women and one male who have heard the tapes besides Pat, whereas Seth names two men and a woman.

[...] Pat did visit us on the 15th, and confirmed much of Seth’s data given here. [...] The boy in the third seat near a center row is, according to Pat, named Dave Lounsburg. [...]

(“How did the tape of the 329th session for go over for Pat Norelli’s class in Boston?”

(During that session Jane achieved outstanding voice effects, a very deep trance, and a projection to the Boston classroom of Pat’s special high-school class. Through her Seth delivered an excellent lecture to Pat’s class. [...]

[...] The cold, however, did not interfere with her giving a long and very successful session last Saturday evening for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli. [...]

[...] (Meaning Pat Norelli.)

(This afternoon Jane received a letter from Pat Norelli, in Boston. [...] Pat enclosed with her letter a list of three questions from a friend, Roger, dealing with mathematical formulae and requesting also that Seth give his mother’s maiden name. A fourth question, from a girlfriend of Pat’s, asked Seth about the Bahai faith. Jane read the four questions over—the formulae were meaningless to her—before the session, but we doubted if Seth would have time to deal with Pat’s letter and the questions in one session.

[...] At 8:55 PM Jane received a flash which she thought to be from Seth: “Pat is insisting on using the gift of life in a certain way.”

[...] Throughout the session Seth spoke to me directly as though I were Pat instead, as he explains later.)

(Intrigued by giving such different and difficult material, Jane checked a few reference books before Pat Norelli’s Thanksgiving visit from Boston. Pat did take copies of the two sessions back to Roger Sullivan who sent us his opinions of them in later December. [...]

(Recently our friend in Boston, Pat Norelli, had visited a female medium who told her that she was under the influence of an evil eye, and would never have a happy day as long as she lived. This alarmed Pat so that she phoned Jane long distance, asking for some information from Seth.)

[...] A package did arrive for Pat Norelli, containing her new glasses, however. Pat was most anxious to get these, and found them waiting at her Boston apartment upon our arrival there. [...]

(The conference to take place on Star Island, off Portsmouth, NH, on Saturday, August 12, 1967; in the company of Pat Norelli and Dick Reed.)

[...] At the table were Bill Gallagher, with beside him Pat Norelli. Others were also at the table, but Bill and Pat were on the side showing the strong 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.

(At the same time the table was performing so well, Jane was standing a few feet away, talking to it in a loud voice very intently, rooting very strongly for the table to resist Bill and Pat’s really strong efforts to level it out. [...]

[...] Pat (Arnold), who has not attended lately, psychically is present. [...] 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 did not come into the room, however, but lingered with her sister (Pat) in the hall.

(A hassle began developing last Thursday, involving Pat Golbitz at Pocket Books, Grace Bechtold at Bantam, and Tam, John Nelson, and Jane at Prentice-Hall. [...]

(Before the session Jane said she was getting stuff on John, Pat, etc., and I expressed interest in hearing it. [...]

[...] The woman there (Pat Golbitz) picked up all of your own negative ideas—yours and Ruburt’s—about Fell and Prentice, and aimed them at John (Nelson). [...]

[...] See also the 334th session, and the additional data about Pat’s class, the room layout, etc., including the map drawn by Pat.

[...] Jane resumed the lecture to Pat’s students after a short rest. [...]

(On a visit on April 15, Pat verified as much as possible the data Seth gave in the 334th session. [...]

(Later talking to Bill Gallagher: He and Pat Norelli stood at one side of the table, exerting strong pressure to force third leg to floor. Never did get it down. [...] Tabletop didn’t break beneath Bill’s hands, he said, but, he believes, when table fell over to floor & struck edge of table top against floor, away from Bill and Pat.

(When Claire, Pat, Curt, Danny, Carl, Jane and I were left, Seth returned briefly after Carl and I had been discussing reincarnation to some extent. [...]

Pat was chosen symbolically, yet stands for a definite situation, when you two visited Boston on tour. At that time, Ruburt saw Pat, who is a teacher, and was traveling through belief systems with the greatest of ease, converting to Judaism and then out of it, and so forth. [...]

[...] Ruburt appeared as himself, and as Pat Norelli. [...]

[...] The brave portions of your personalities went on helping each other, as per the dream, until Pat Norelli, as Ruburt, easily working through belief systems stands center stage, ready to speak to other frightened portions of yourselves still on a high ledge. [...]

[...] And congratulations on your portrait (for Pat Bailey) which is also a breakthrough. [...]

[...] I don’t think it any coincidence that Jane contacted Eleanor, who is the editor for Dick Bach, who is a counterpart of Jane’s. [Jane first called Pat Golbitz, but Pat was out of her office—so Pat doesn’t get to see Emir first.]

[...] Jane had a head cold, and we had a session scheduled for the weekend for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli.)

[...] Pat, for instance, knows she can stop in any time. [...]

(The 440th session was held on October 7, and was addressed to Pat. Roger’s list contained a fourth question addressed to Seth; this one concerns the Bahai faith, was formulated by a girl friend of Pat’s, and will be answered by Seth at a later date.

(Below is a copy of three questions sent to Jane by Roger Sullivan, a friend of Pat Norelli; both live in Boston. [...]

(Pat Norelli is to visit us over Thanksgiving. [...]
