“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Malba worked in the factory but a few months. Although not intelligent obviously, she shows an awareness of this fact, and regards education as important. She died in 1946 in the farmhouse kitchen. She was standing at the sink washing dishes and looking out at the dreary flat landscape. A pickup truck was parked out there. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and died of a heart attack. She fell upon the kitchen floor and broke a plate.

(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.

(She couldn’t describe very well how she got through to us.”But I’m here, aren’t I?” She likes us because we don’t make fun of her. She can visit different places on earth, but she couldn’t name another place, or other people. She did not hang around her son in California.

(Malba could not explain what she did between visits with us. She “learned things.” She agreed with us that she knew more now than when on earth. She didn’t know when, if ever, she would move onto another plane. She remarked quite often that Jane and I were not at our best tonight and that she wasn’t either. She said that now she will often do things she doesn’t like to do, but could not explain when I tried to learn more. She did say everything was easier though. She said the population of Decatur was about 12,000.
