“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For our friend here (Jane pointed to Emolene), an existence in the land called Greece before it had that name. An existence in 14th-century Belgium. (Pause.) A life in a Spanish environment, with Spanish speaking people but in South America. This in the 1200’s. The personality has often been in a position to work with building, and in their construction, and was instrumental in working out the principles behind the arc (Jane gestured), arch, form.

(The 1200 date raises questions. As far as our accepted history goes, there wouldn’t have been any Spanish speaking colonies or groups in South America in the 1200’s. Latin America was opened up to Spanish settlement in the 1500’s, of course, after the voyage of Columbus in 1492...)

Give us a moment. (Pause.) There was an impatience however to have the works executed by others, in strict accordance to the original plans. The garden and grounds now about the personality’s present home, are replicas of gardens laid out by the same personality in the Spanish era. And again, these gardens surrounded the personality’s residence.

(I am not an expert on Spanish art, but the above passage reminds me of Velazquez for some reason. Nor does Jane know Spanish art. For instance, she doesn’t particularly admire Spanish artists, or talk of any one or group of such artists, etc.)

I believe that some Spanish artists in the past utilized this same sort of idea.

[...] Bill Gallagher said the Spanish word for west is occidente; and the Spanish Madonna of the White Waters would be Madonna de Blanca Agua.

[...] Perhaps the Spanish word meaning west was in the town’s name. [...]

[...] There was a Spanish life in the 17th century and one in what is now California in the early 1800’s. You have been twice a woman and three times a man. [...]

[...] There was a Spanish life in the 13th century, and one in what is now the state of California in the very early 1800’s. You have been twice a woman, three times a man.

A Spanish woman with a young son.

[...] For myself, I wanted Seth’s comments on the Spanish Framework 2 connections that he detailed last session, re Ryerson, Macdonnel, our books being translated, and the card from Carlos Smith; I wondered what had initiated any Framework 2 connections for us via Spain, since we had no interests of note there.

The Spanish connection is important not because of Spain, but because of its international implications: the newer, broader field of your own thought. [...]

[...] He ended up in severe difficulties, caught in some smuggling business to the Spanish.

[...] Jane began to hum a song we both knew but couldn’t place — perhaps an aria from an Italian or Spanish opera. [...]

8:15, again by water, but this time in a more Spanish sort of environment. [...]

(I spent part of the afternoon and evening writing to Tam, asking him to defend us from the well-meaning but evidently inept efforts of various people in Canada and Switzerland to arrange for translations of Jane’s work in French, Italian, and Spanish—and I’d sworn off writing such letters following the fiasco with Ariston.... [...]

(I should have added earlier that at lunch today Jane had me place the paper container of beef Spanish rice on her belly, so that she could feed it to herself with a spoon, left-handed. [...]

[...] A Spanish woman with a young son. [...]

[...] It’s interesting to note however that in late July, 1971, about eight months after this session, newspapers carried the story — with photographs — of the unearthing of a “massive” subhuman skull in a cave in the French Pyrenees Mountains, very close to the Spanish border.

[...] Tam wrote that Prentice-Hall wouldn’t notify us of such deals unless they go through, usually, so perhaps a Spanish publisher has expressed interest? [...]

Eight-fifteen, again by water, but this time in a more Spanish sort of environment. [...]

I do not want to upset you, but if the Dutch may cut a bit here and there, you might find that any French or Spanish translation might add a flourish here or there. [...]

[...] Many of the Irish, the Jews, the Spanish, and some lesser numbers of the French, for instance, are Sumari — though they appear in all races.

[...] After a while we substituted for the ring a Spanish-American military insignia, of brass, that Jane’s grandfather had secured from his brother. [...]
