“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This time we had our windows completely shielded by curtains, as Malba had requested we do in the first session with her. Jane and I wore black clothing; our little table was draped in a dark red cloth, which we used because we had forgotten to obtain the black.

(Gradually our eyes became adjusted to the very dim light. Jane spent much time staring at her hands. She said that at times she could not see them in the dim light, although I could easily enough. Jane bent her head low to examine her hands, and she paid much attention to them for the rest of the evening; the session lasted until about midnight.

(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.

(Our road atlas does not list a town called Decatur in either North or South Dakota, nor any town or city of 12,000, for that matter. Jane suggests that since Decatur sounds similar to Dakota I might have confused the two names. We will try to clear up the mystery next we meet Malba.)
