“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This is the second time we have missed a session, the first being over the Christmas holidays. This time, the reaction from Seth was much stronger.

(Through Monday I had not been feeling well. My back was acting up, work was difficult, and by suppertime I was drained. I did not really feel like taking fifteen to twenty pages of dictation from Seth; I was concerned lest I miss some of the material.

(Also after supper it developed that Miss Callahan, the retired school teacher who lives in the front apartment on our floor, had evidently had an attack of some kind and was in urgent need of help. Our neighbor across the hall first informed us. Jane went to see Miss Callahan, who had difficulty answering the door, was suffering from lapses of memory, and was indeed in poor condition. She had also taken several falls, and evidently had not been eating.

(There followed a very confusing [and to me upsetting] several hours during which Jane and our neighbor, Leonard Yaudes, tried contacting Miss Callahan’s doctor, her relatives, her friends, our landlady, and a hospital. The relatives at first refused to help, seemingly out of fear of Miss Callahan herself. There were mix-ups, in which Miss Callahan’s doctor was waiting for her at the emergency room at the hospital while Miss Callahan stayed home, and during which time Jane called the relatives several times, pleading with them to help, etc. It finally ended when Jane and Leonard secured the help of another doctor, who arrived by midnight and stated that Miss Callahan should be in the hospital.

(After midnight, the relatives finally showed up, and with Jane’s help took Miss Callahan to the hospital.

(Coming in and out of our apartment from Miss Callahan’s, Jane would tell me of snatches of thoughts she had received from Seth. Since I was by now in no condition to cooperate, she wrote them down. They follow on the next page, and are an accurate account.)
