“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“No.” Peg visited him of course on their return.)

(“No.” At our first discussion, though, Peg told me that a brother-in-law had just come into a tremendous amount of money as a result of lawyers fees, he is a lawyer, and a rich account. She then tied this in with an unpleasant episode in the past where there was trouble with another sister-in-law, and this brother-in-law, and thought that the money would now make this sister-in-law sit up and wonder about her own actions in the past.)

(“No.” Again, Jane’s comments. This could refer to grab in terms of greed, definitely in Peg’s account of the sister-in-law.)

(Seth/Jane scored many hits in the material dealing with Peg and Bill. [...] It developed that the notes Peg and Bill kept did not often coincide with Seth’s material.

[...] He stressed many times that the situations he foresaw were not drastic or alarming in any great degree, and that Peg could handle them. [...] As it was no such requests were made, thus no warnings given before Peg and Bill left.

(An amusing exchange now developed between Seth and Peg concerning cats. [...] He walked over to Peg; I picked him up and deposited him in another room. [...]

When Peg and Bill returned, we found out that these impressions were quite legitimate. [...] Peg was quite angry about this, since the same ride two years earlier had cost less than two dollars. [...] Peg and Bill remembered this vividly, not only because of the sudden turn, but also because this happened right after the driver had run through a traffic light. [...] Interestingly enough, Peg said, he did look old from the rear, though, because his neck had a peculiar rough, mottled look. [...]

[...] I asked Peg to draw a diagram of their motel and its nearby neighborhood. Peg’s diagram matched mine! [...] Peg and Bill were there the day of my experiment, and the following day.

[...] In October my first book was coming out, and Peg Gallagher, a reporter for the Elmira Star Gazette, interviewed me. [...] Bill is assistant advertising director of the Star Gazette, and he and Peg were soon leaving for a vacation in Puerto Rico. [...]

(On Friday, October 28, I [Jane] saw Peg for the first time since her return, and went over the Seth notes. That evening Rob and I checked the material with both Peg and Bill and I took notes of their answers. [...]

(Peg and Bill Gallagher left for Nassau, Monday, October 17, and returned Tuesday, October 25. [...]

I completely forgot our discussion until last night, Friday, when the Gallaghers [our dear friends, Peg and Bill] visited. In a lull of conversation, Peg G. leaned forward and said: “I was at Lib’s Supper Club, and your paintings are still there,” or other words to that effect, mentioning both Lib’s and the paintings.

[...] Then Peg told us that Wednesday evening, though earlier than (Rob’s and my) discussion, she’d asked someone to check the signature, and saw that they were indeed Rob’s.

This is the first time since the sixties that the Gallaghers have ever mentioned those paintings to us also; although they’ve been to Lib’s many times in those years … It’s also interesting that Peg didn’t see the fourth painting, either … She and I seem to “pick up” from each other fairly well, according to past instances…

(To Peg: An exchange here followed which was too quick for me to get down, so it is here summarized. After joking with Peggy about interviews, cameras, etc., Seth said in time that he would interview Peg, who by then would be “notorious,” or better known. [...] Seth also told Peg there was some data she would need, that she would request it herself, about the crisis in her own life approximately 6 years from now.

(To Peg:) Ahead of time, I thank you for our interview... [...]

([Peg:] “That’s not a bad idea...”

[...] At rest, Peg said that the above ideas fit into a pet theory of her own. [...] Both Peg and Bill mentioned a chaotic state existing at the newspaper office where they work, though Bill said this was merely the result of a natural evolution of policies perhaps. Peg felt the situation was building up to some kind of climax; she spoke of small matters like limits being placed on personal phone calls, etc; various economies being instituted; the dissatisfaction of employees.

[...] Peg said that the atmosphere bit fits perfectly and that she and Bill had suspected a couple of the points already. Peg says that H [the man] does believe he is acting in response to his superiors. [...]

(Peg Gallagher at break had wondered if Seth would tell what might happen at the paper.

[...] Peg also agreed that she and Bill would be very careful riding their bikes. Jane was much relieved after talking to Peg, saying that before the call she had been “very uptight” over any probabilities involving accidents and the Gallaghers.

[...] Peg thrown clear.

(“The impression that Bill just has a shirt on, and Peg a jacket or outer garment.”

(John reported that his wife was very ill, had been in the hospital recently for several weeks, etc., and had not entered into a very deep trance state during sessions with a hypnotherapist; Seth had recommended Peg see such a professional. This evening John asked Jane if Seth could say something about why Peg had followed, or chosen, such a role in this physical life—a role seemingly without reward or hope; she has multiple sclerosis.

(This session was held for John Pitre and his wife Peg of Franklin, LA, following John’s telephone call to Jane earlier this evening. [...]

Through the change of roles, Peg now gains insight on the past failures, and also helps her present husband, indeed, to become more contemplative, and to seek for answers to questions that he would not have asked otherwise. [...]

(On Sunday, May 18, John Pitre called Jane from Franklin, Louisiana and asked that Seth hold a session for his wife Peg; she is in the hospital, in poor condition, with muscular dystrophy. John told Jane it “might be a matter of hours” etc., and wondered whether Seth could give some data on Peg’s psychic activities at the moment, whether she would be helped after physical demise, etc.

[...] Jane said she was aware of wanting to contact John’s wife Peg during these travels, without the experience being “unpleasant” for either of them...

(Re John and Peg, see sessions 394, 416, 441, etc.)

[...] Peg G. from the Star Gazette called; there was a fan from South Africa, just in town from NYC to see me. [...]

Peg told me he was in his forties; he told her he’d written me but probably left before I could answer the letter. [...]

[...] The next day I learned from Peg that he’d come by bus, had to stay the night, didn’t have much money—his reality, I reminded myself firmly, not mine. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] Peg, fortunately, took notes. [...]

([The Gallaghers:] “In one antique shop, I [Peg] pointed out two antique crocks which were very much like two we have and like.”)

([Jane added:] Peg in this exact neighborhood for specific reason. [...]

[...] On the same day he called your friend Peg, already wondering if he might have hurt Peg’s feelings the week before. He invited Peg and Bill for the evening, but Peg had made other plans. Ruburt felt he must have hurt Peg’s feelings, and this made him also feel somewhat abandoned, fearing that the friendship might simply lapse.

([Peg:] “You’ve said in the past that we would notice changes in Ruburt’s features.”)

([Peg:] “What does it take to make them obvious? [...]

([Peg:] “How are conditions now?”)

[...] This made a very big impression on us, because Peg has always been interested in the murder, and Peg and Bill asked questions about it of several people. [...]

(Peg and Bill note that if you substitute water tower for fountain, then everything else is correct, except that the date means nothing to them. [...]

[...] (Lunch, call Peg for story on Unknown—call Tam— we talk 3/4 of an hour.

[...] Did three excellent pages James—and would have done more except for day’s events—called Edna B. about Cézanne; Tam called; Peg called about those nuts; two fans arrived. [...]

(When Bill and Peg Gallagher arrived, about nine, I drank two cups of strong coffee, rather than the wine that everyone else drank; so it must have been 10:30 or so before I had a glass of wine. [...] I said this softly to Rob and once to Peg; who knows about the sessions, of course. [...]

[...] Also mentioned particular initials—now I forget them—Peg took notes and will have them—and these were excellent, referring specifically to Barb’s boyfriend, Dick. [...]

[...] Finally Bill and Peg took Rob and me for a ride in the cold night air, to snap me out of it.

(Jane ate an excellent lunch again, and Peg Gallagher visited before she was through. After Peg left Jane and I agreed that we’d ask Seth to comment on her broken right leg, and the stone. [...]
