“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The older woman referred to by Seth is Virginia’s aunt, the younger is the aunt’s daughter-in-law. The older woman is Virginia’s mother’s only sister. The data refers to a long-standing family relationship involving older relatives, a farm, furniture, a sale of land, etc. The farm, the house now owned by Virginia’s brother, seems like home to her. The G, the Milligan’s said, refers to Geneva, where both the aunt and the daughter-in-law live. The daughter-in-law, Virginia said, is “rather thin,” as stated by Seth.

(The tensions, Virginia said, are really below the surface, but are there. These are usually passed over by Tom and Virginia. I read a summary of these notes to the Milligans at break, and they agreed to their content. This typed version can also be checked by them and any necessary changes made.

(The session was witnessed by Virginia and Tom Milligan, both of whom are members of Jane’s ESP class. They had no questions for Seth prior to the session; Tom said he had been giving Seth questions mentally earlier today, and also earlier in the week. The Milligans have known for some days now that they would witness the session tonight.

([Tom and Virginia:] “Good evening, Seth.” )

(Ann Diebler asked Seth to give some information on a friend who lives in Norfolk, Virginia. [...]

[...] He gave Ann Diebler a few lines of data concerning her friend in Virginia, which she wrote out. [...]

In our next class, Virginia wondered why she’d perceived this particular event. [...] Virginia’s father had worked for the railroad’s business office, and it is likely that this emotional connection conditioned her to be interested generally in the railroad.

[...] On June 20, for example, Virginia Mallery, one of my students, told our class the following dream: “I saw freight cars on the ground by the railroad viaduct. [...]

[...] Two freight cars fell off the same viaduct that Virginia had seen in her dream but a few blocks south of Gray Street. [...]

(We had unannounced visitors at supper time tonight—a young couple from Virginia who had just married; talking with them delayed other activities, and probably led to the later start of the session.)

(During break Florence mentioned going to Virginia Beach. [...]

[...] To Florence.) And I will look in on you about Virginia Beach time. [...]

[...] Lisa accompanied Barbara on the trip to Virginia and Story Book Land. [...]

[...] Jane gave this data together, and we believe it refers to the flight made to Virginia from Elmira by Barbara and Lisa.

Let me begin humorously by saying, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

[...] Vivian and Bill, from Virginia, visited my parents last weekend, and Jane and I saw much of them.

[...] Jane evidently had in mind my mother, and Vivian and Bill Crowder, relatives from Virginia whom we saw this weekend. [...]

(We were visited over the weekend by Robert Monroe and his wife, Nancy; they live on a farm in central Virginia. [...]

In early February, Rob wrote to Dr. Ian Stevenson, who was connected with the Department of Neurology and Psychology at the University of Virginia. [...]

(Yesterday, Saturday, September 30, Jane and I visited my parents and the Crowders, up from Norfolk, Virginia. [...]

[...] The storm unexpectedly veered inland after picking up new strength off the Virginia Capes, and when it stalled over New York and Pennsylvania flooding became inevitable.

[...] Seth told Ann Diebler he could not at this time answer her questions concerning a friend in Newport News, Virginia, because he has not yet established an emotional rapport with her. [...]

[...] Then I realized I’d goofed: Last Saturday, our local paper had carried a short article to the effect that a psychic we’d heard of had predicted recently that Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia would obtain the Democratic nomination for president, after a deadlock between Carter and Kennedy developed at the convention. [...]

[...] The gist of our attitudes is that we find it most difficult to believe that “Socrates” — wherever he is and whatever he may be doing, in our terms — is willing to drop everything to give very garbled information to a well-intentioned, really innocent person living in, say, a small town in Virginia.
