“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The people didn’t go to London often. Some never went at all. The first Sarah who died at 17 never went. Albert’s Sarah went. King Edward was in London then. Albert and Sarah did well and could afford to go. When Edward was being crowned they went to London. They didn’t see the coronation, they were just common people but they wanted to be there. Everybody was excited.

(Sarah lived 3 doors down the street in a dark front room. She had two brothers, one off someplace, he was a sailor. The other was younger. Sarah’s father did something for the cobbler, so he made shoes for the young brother and she was in the shop to get the shoes.

(I don’t know what Sarah’s father did for the cobbler. It was a craft, something he bartered for shoes. Something to do with fishing nets. The village was right by the sea. It was the only cobbler’s shop in quite a few villages around there, and there was a lot of community bartering going on. Sarah’s father made fishnets out of seaweed, dried seaweed, sounds crazy, doesn’t it? They wove it together like rope, then made the nets.

(Albert did okay. He got married, and his wife’s name was Sarah too. She was a cousin of Sarah Wellington. There were lots of cousins in the village. Most of the people were related, they had no place else to go.

[...] The first Sarah, who died at seventeen, never went. Albert’s Sarah went. [...] Albert and Sarah did well and could afford to go. [...]

[...] Sarah’s father did something for the cobbler, and, in return, he made shoes for the younger brother, and Sarah was in the shop to get them.”

[...] His wife’s name was also Sarah. She was a cousin of Sarah Wellington’s. Most of the people in the village were related in one way or another; they had no other place to go.”

(9:49.) At the same time Aunt Sarah, unbeknown to you, might pick up a blue vase, one that you had just seen in your mind as belonging on a shelf in her living room. Touching the vase, your Aunt Sarah might think of the person who gave it to her, now on the other side of the continent. That person, perhaps thinking of buying a present for someone, might settle upon a vase in a flash of inspiration, or suddenly begin humming a song with the name “Sarah” in the title, or possibly even think of your aunt. [...]

[...] You might think of your Aunt Sarah, for example, and in a few moments the associative process might bring you images of periods in the past when you visited your aunt, of her friends and neighbors, the articles in her house, and episodes connected with your relationship.

(The 303rd session was held on November 26, 1966 with Eugene and Sarah Bernard as witnesses. Recently Sarah telephoned Jane from Chapel Hill, NC, and asked for this session—the first held since August 16, 1967. [...]

[...] I said Sarah would undoubtedly like to know how the material obtained tonight could be put to use so as to obtain a practical result re Gene. [...]

This man will not be a stranger, yet he will not be the old Bernard, and Sarah can only help him by letting him know that she is there, and waiting. [...]

(One of Jane’s chores Tuesday, not on the list but performed along with the listed items, was to mail a package to Sarah Bernard, who along with her husband visited us from North Carolina over last weekend. [...] The package contained a sweater Sarah forgot. [...]

(The 303rd session, held Saturday evening, November 26, with Eugene and Sarah Bernard, was a long and active one. [...]

[...] Possibly a reference to the sweater left behind by Sarah Bernard, turning up after the Bernards had driven away. [...]

[...] She is getting into the sale of Sarah Coventry costume jewelry, and in fact is attending a business meeting tonight. Mary Ellen is scheduled to attend, or have, a Sarah Coventry party soon, on a Thursday afternoon or evening, John said, and will be involved with four other women in particular. The five total could be that Mary Ellen herself is the fifth; as well as Mary Ellen herself, the other four women are holding Sarah Coventry parties for her. [...]

Our session is late this evening because Ruburt and Joseph watched the beginning of a (television) movie in which a young woman I will call Sarah appeared as an actress. Sarah wrote Ruburt a letter, telling him of the movie. Sarah has abilities, and she is banking on them, developing them in a practical way. [...]

[...] Typed by Sarah Bernard from her notes.

[...] Pace fast—sometimes Sarah left behind. [...]

(Sarah asked if we could receive nonverbal communication from him and Seth said he’d try. [...]

(By attaining a certain mood, and then talking quietly, Jane had in the past produced the Sarah Wellington and the Malba material. [...] For Sarah she had spoken in a rather more childish manner; for Malba she had sounded rather petulant, grown, not too bright and poorly educated. [...]

[...] Sarah and Malba were of course female. [...]

[...] Today also she received a card from Gene Bernard’s wife Sarah, who is visiting her brother in Ecuador, South America, for several weeks.)

[...] (Pause.) She—T—Sarah, attended a school with a small store nearby; an S is strongly connected, perhaps with the street name. [...]

[...] The wife’s name, Sarah. [...]

[...] My idea had been that Jane might speak for another personality, such as in the Sarah Wellington or the Malba Bronson instances. [...]

[...] A Sarah and an Oscar.
