“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Yesterday afternoon and evening, May 20, we had as guests Reverend James Crosson and his wife; they visited us at the end of a lecture tour that had taken them from their new home in Florida to their summer camp in the Berkshires. Reverend Crosson has read Jane’s ESP book, helping her publicize it in various ways, contact editors, etc., and we were pleased to meet.

(Yesterday was ESP class night, so the Reverend attended class; a session was held during class, which was recorded; when received a copy will be added to these records. Part of it was addressed to the Reverend and his wife, and was quite successful. Jane also gave impressions on her own for the Crossons, and again these were also successful. The Crossons stayed until about 1:30 AM.

(Reverend Crosson has met many of the leading figures in parapsychology, including Eileen Garrett, Arthur Ford, Martin Ebon, etc. He had many questions for Seth, which that gentleman answered with his usual aplomb.)

Your good reverend was far more impressed after his visit, and he will speak about our work to many others.

(Whether or not we visit Reverend Crosson this summer at his camp in the Berkshires, in Massachusetts; and whether later in the year Jane speaks in New York City at a meeting of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, with Reverend Crosson.)

(I told Jane however that we should get some material on a matter broached to her by letter last week by Reverend Crosson, re a speaking engagement in New York City later this year. [...]

[...] (As suggested by Reverend C., on stage.) His main energies remain with the material. [...]

(Seth refers to Betty Taylor, one of the editors at Harper’s. She told Reverend C. that she would call Jane this week, but as of August 20, Wednesday, has not done so.

On February 1, 1968, I sent Dreams to Doubleday on suggestion of Reverend Crosson. [...]

(Reverend James Crosson and wife Muriel, guests.

[...] I will have to learn to be a Reverend Rock Drummer—and, I will keep the beat with you.

[...] You have done well with theories (addressing Reverend Crosson); Now, I tell you forget them. [...]

[...] The letter is from her correspondent in West Brookfield, Massachusetts, the Reverend James C. Crosson. Reverend Crosson did not refer to the WELM program, of course, but in his letter offers Jane an opportunity to lecture to a group on ESP in Massachusetts, which is the same type of activity. [...]

(A note: I’ll have the details on tap in my collection of Time magazines — but today there took place the freeing of the American airman through the visit of the Reverend Jesse Jackson to President Assad of Syria. [...]

If it were not for television, you would not know much about Anita Bryant, you would not know much about the Reverend Jones, who believed he was God and led (in quotes, out of quotes), “his followers into folly”. [...] And the same applies to our Reverend Jones, and to any fanatic, for the fanatic speaks in exaggerated terms, but he or she speaks beliefs that to some extent each of you hold, but to what degree? [...]
