“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This was an unscheduled session held for Jane’s Thursday night ESP class. There were three witnesses present: Andrea Bergere, Rose Cafford and Florence McIntyre. Only Florence had witnessed a session before.

([Rob]The unique thing here is that this is Jane’s first session at which I was not present. In the light of the material obtained in the two regular sessions earlier this week, we believe this to be a significant step forward; a mark of Jane’s increasing confidence in her psychic ability, and wholehearted acceptance we believe to be necessary.

(Earlier in the day I had heard Jane remark causally, after a little talk between us, that if she felt like it she would let Seth come through during class tonight. When the session began I was at work in my studio at the back of the apartment; yet, through two closed doors, I heard almost at once when the session began. I was working on the index to these sessions at the time, and the place was quiet.

(Since it was Jane’s first session without my presence, I thought it would be interesting to record some of it. I opened one of the two doors and made notes; thus the students and Jane were not disturbed on the other side of the remaining closed door. Seth’s voice was easily heard.

... A boy. Relatives from Russia. (Pause.) Myshurek (my interpretation) last name. In... what is now, or what was Warsaw. A trader, a merchant, four children. A French wife.

Earlier in 1242 a Dutch existence. 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.

(After a serious discussion of the search for truth, life after death, religious backgrounds, etc. at 8:50 PM Jane, without warning, started a Seth session. Attending were Andrea, Rose Cafford and Florence McIntyre. The following notes are as complete as I was able to keep up with Seth.)

This will be brief. You (pointing to Andrea), in 1572—Poland, what is now considered Poland, a boy—relatives from Russia. Majurak—last name—ended up in what is now Warsaw—a trader, a merchant—4 children —a French wife—earlier in 1242—a Dutch existence. 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. You are developing along certain lines. Your interest in the outdoors now reflecting your male existence. We will give you more specific details at a later time with dates and names.
