“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane exchanged phone calls with Betty Taylor [of Harcourt Brace, among other publishers] on September 8 & 9. Betty Taylor called Jane first. During the call she verified several of Seth’s points made during the 497th session. Briefly these will be listed here.

(1: See page 362. She verified Seth’s statements about Jim Crosson’s worries about holding an audience, etc. 2: See page 362. Betty Taylor may soon change her position, moving to Washington DC from New York City to do reporting coverage for various magazines. 3: page 362. Betty Taylor nearly did not call Jane, as Seth mentioned. It develops that another speaker, thought not available, may, or has, change[d] his mind.

(Apropos of the two phone calls involving Betty Taylor, Miss Taylor has expressed an interest in coming to attend a session.

(In this session. held on Monday, Seth gave some data re Betty Taylor also. Jane called B.T. the next day and was given verification of some points by B.T. over the phone. Betty would like a copy of the data to study some of the other points. The results of this study will be included with a later session, which may be named here by number at least.)

[...] This certainly was no lie, and the Taylors seemed to accept the explanation. [...] The Taylor’s cat began playing with our cat, Willy, and we had no trouble steering the conversation into safer channels. The Taylors stayed for half an hour, then left. [...]

[...] The girl, Donna Taylor, said she thought we might be in trouble of some sort. [...]

[...] The Taylors are a nice young couple, newly arrived in Elmira, and do not know of the sessions. [...]

In the hallway, I was surprised to run into Anna Taylor. [...]

[...] Anna’s last name was Taylor. [...]

“It’s the same thing as that Taylor episode,” I said. [...]

[...] When Jane first read the Crowley-Taylor logo on tonight’s object it meant nothing to her, until I mentioned the name Wendell. Neither of us have met Wendell’s business partner, Mr. Taylor, or know anything about him—not even if he is still living.

[...] According to the object, for instance, the Crowley-Taylor Lumber Company is not incorporated.

(This passage grows out of a very recent call from Betty Taylor, of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship group, to Jane, concerning a weekend visit to Pawling, New York in early December, and a possible lecture tour of the Northeast. [...]

[...] Later, in waking life, you may discover that a friend of yours, a Mr. Taylor (spelled), has a party, or dies, or gets married, whatever the case may be; yet you might never connect the dream with the later event because you did not understand the way that words and images can be united in your dreams.

(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.

[...] Mrs. Taylor, another student, had this problem. [...]

[...] Like many people, Mrs. Taylor was brought up on a combined emotional porridge of orthodox religion and Freud. [...]

[...] This has cropped up before in these experiments also. [Jane’s note: Donna Taylor had shown me the playground for her 1st graders, during my 2nd teaching job.]
