“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I began to ask Jane questions, about anything. Malba came through after only a few. Jane talked in her own voice all evening, although the choice of words, the rhythm and phrasing and inflections seemed not to be hers. While talking she laughed rather often, and this was much different than her usual laugh. Malba’s voice on the whole was not as strong as Jane’s, and more petulant. One had the feeling that behind it was a rather mediocre intelligence; one that did not try very hard to concentrate and whose interests were, and had been, rather ordinary and at times shallow.

(There follows the facts Malba gave us as best we both recall them. I wrote the notes out immediately after the session, then Jane and I went over them, attempting to add anything either of us had forgotten earlier. Everything included here was definitely remembered by one or the other; nothing was added. If we were hazy in recollection or at all doubtful about anything, it was left out.

(Malba was highly amused at the plight of the clergy of different faiths, who had died. Here they were after death, and at least on her plane it was nothing like they had said it would be while living on earth. Some of them were very angry, others were puzzled and hurt, trying to explain it all.

(Malba said that on her plane she was supposed to learn things, to be taught, but she didn’t know how. Others come to teach her. She called Seth a philosopher.”He’s smarter than I am.” She likes it where she is much better than on earth. Sometimes she is all alone, can’t see anyone else. She doesn’t know how she gets around; for instance, she will find herself doing something without knowing how or why she started it.

(On the farm her husband grew alfalfa and wheat, and tried tobacco and corn. He was not a success as a farmer she said again. She had no friends in town, no one to visit when they went shopping for instance. She knew the clerks in the stores and that was all.
