“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A week or so ago Jane had invited the Lords, Cec and Jim, to the house for last Saturday evening. Saturday morning, then, as I was in Robinson’s lumber for parts for Jane’s chair, I met Curt Kent, who used to work with Cec and myself at Artistic; I haven’t seen Curt for perhaps two years, Cec since last Christmas. Jane also invited the Weissenbuehlers Saturday evening. When Jane called, Ellspeth told her she’d been working at fixing up or restoring an old chair—as I was working with an old chair for Jane. When they arrived Saturday night, Ellspeth and Heinz brought with them some homemade cheesecake. It happened that Saturday afternoon I’d taken a package of frozen cheesecake out of the freezer and thawed it out with the intention of serving it Saturday evening. It was still sitting on our kitchen counter when Ellspeth and Heinz carried their cheesecake in. Then when Debbie Janney arrived Saturday evening, she told me that she had just missed meeting me at Steiner’s photo studio earlier that week; going there to have a portrait taken, she’d seen by accident the enlargements of my parents that Mr. Steiner was making for me. I was due to pick them up the next day, and she asked Mr. S. to tell me she’d been there, but he forgot to mention it.

(I should add that we never did see Cec and Jim Lord last Saturday night. I’d planned to tell Cec about meeting Curt. But they didn’t show up due to a misunderstanding re dates: Cec thought they were to visit next Saturday evening—the 13th. Jim kept asking her if she had the date right, incidentally.

(Last Saturday, the 6th, was not only “chair day,” as I told Jane, but seemingly synchronicity day also. Four little events took place, or culminated on that day, that certainly seemed to be more than mundane “coincidence.”

Friday afternoon and Saturday—As I worked on James, I massaged my head, which certainly seemed to help the neck and other areas. [...] Saturday AM the parts of my body that had felt softer, were quite sore; knees and arms. [...]

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

Saturday PM. [...]

[...] Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights. [...]

[...] Our table at the dancing establishment Saturday night had a top of simulated wood grain. The house can be our own, the several people of course Jane and me and Bill and Peggy Gallagher; the Gallaghers were with us Saturday night when I picked the label as a test object.

[...] Dr. Instream had stayed overnight in York Beach on Monday, August 23; Lorraine had visited the town on Saturday afternoon, August 28.

[...] Jane and I met the Gallaghers accidentally at a dancing establishment last Saturday evening. [...]

(Our encountering the Gallaghers last Saturday evening led to the strange unscheduled 192nd session, incidentally. [...]

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 23, 1982

[...] However, he knew about his fellow officer’s encounter here at the house with Fred Conyers last Saturday. [...]

[...] As stated, there were two Anns at the gathering Saturday, and a Jane and a Joe, etc. [...] However, remember that the object came from our visit of Tuesday July 12, whereas the gathering was held on Saturday July 16. The link here being that a parking ticket was also obtained, and saved by me, during Saturday’s visit; this ticket was the same except for the serial number as the ticket used as object.

[...] As stated Jane and I visited Enfield Glen, or Robert Treman State Park, three times—July 12 for Tuesday, July 14 for Thursday, and July 16 for Saturday. [...] The above data concerns our visit to Enfield Glen on Saturday, July 16.

[...] The first visit was on Tuesday, July 12, the second on Thursday, July 14, and the third on Saturday, July 16.

(At Saturday’s visit there was indeed a gathering and an affair—an outdoor picnic involving 15 people, either relatives or close friends. [...]

[...] When we left Jane forgot her pocketbook and Marilyn returned it Saturday morning; she had her son with her and Jane had more time to observe him. [...]

[...] I am now aware of this however, and Seth told me I saved the situation last Saturday evening at Mihalyk’s by asking Jane to dance.)

(I decided to rebuild it, so Saturday morning I went to the lumber yard for the supplies, and spent the day doing the work, including cutting down the chair even more. [...] My back bothered me considerably Friday and Saturday.

(We had company Saturday night. [...]

(I didn’t feel well Saturday night after company left, and not much better Sunday. [...]

Friday, or Saturday, were poor evenings for various reasons, having to do with weather, emotional climate, and also having to do with Mark’s physical and emotional state. [...]

[...] You will simply not have visiting apparitions Monday through Saturday, nor will you ever be certain ahead of time, regardless of proficiency, as to the success of such ventures. [...]

[...] The unscheduled session with Bill present took place last Saturday, January 23.

[...] Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, for various reasons I will not go into now, may give you a slight edge. [...]

(The envelope object for tonight’s 35th experiment was a beer coaster that I picked up from our table last Saturday evening, at our favorite dining and dancing establishment here in Elmira. [...]

[...] We thought this a reference to the dining and dancing establishment we visited last Saturday evening, February 19, where I picked up the envelope object. [...]

[...] This is a reference to the Saturday evening of dancing, which was planned in advance by us with the other two couples, Marilyn and Don Wilbur, and Ann Diebler and Paul Sinderman. [...]

[...] Instead Seth leads us to recall the rather hilarious incident Saturday evening that did give rise to this impression.

(Yesterday, Saturday, had been a quiet day for Jane. [...] Jane ate well Saturday, and did but a few mild motions with her left foot, head and shoulders, and arms. [...]

(Saturday, also, the nurses told us that it’s now been decided by administration that all the people who were moved out of Surgical 3 are now to be moved back first of the week. [...]

(This Saturday evening we’re to be visited by Scott and Helen Nearing, who are spending the day at programs for a homecoming festival at Mansfield.

(I would add that much of my present concern seemed to have been brought to a conscious focus by an even that took place last Saturday evening, when Jane spontaneiously asked the Bumbalos over for a drink. [...]

With the interview, Saturday’s planned visit, and even with the connection with Eleanor, you both decided to be a bit more open in that regard. [...]

[...] As I see it, our only hope lies in getting our minds off the whole thing, as happened last Saturday night. [...]

(On Saturday evening, May 4, Jane briefly came through with some trance information of her own. [...]

(It isn’t necessary to quote Jane’s delivery of Saturday evening, however. [...]

[...] Echoes of Saturday night’s experience do show up in tonight’s session, although it doesn’t appear that the material will have the long-range effects of Jane’s March 4 delivery.

(Now Seth went into material that Jane had touched upon during our conversation last Saturday evening, in addition to giving her dictated information.)

(Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20, Jane and I spent visiting my brother William Richard and his wife Ida, in Rochester, NY. [...]

(Ida’s brother, Louie, had also been following the material somewhat more thoroughly, and he visited the four of us at Bill’s home Saturday night. [...]

The incident, the handy incident which gave rise, or rather the incident which allowed the personality to project the symptom finally, in this instance occurred on a Saturday afternoon, and is not remembered consciously by the personality (Louie), and was not known to anyone else.
