“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At the start of the session our cat Willy became very frisky. As we sat at the board preparatory to greeting Seth, Willy jumped up on it; from there he vaulted up on the bookcase, knocking the sketch to the floor. As I retrieved it Jane began to receive Seth within. After Seth spelled out his greeting, Jane rose and began to dictate. She exhibited no voice or hand phenomena this evening, merely the darkening of the eyes.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(At this moment I had a mental picture of the sign outside the shop; I was wondering whether Seth could now tell us more about it.)

(In the light of what follows, this might seem to be an unfortunate question. But while taking Jane’s dictation, I have discovered that while concentrating on recording every word, it is easy to lose the sense of what one is putting down. I had, for instance, no clear recollection of what Seth had just said.)

(“Seth, where is Frank Watts now, by the way?”

(Break at 11:07. We talked about having witnesses to these sessions occasionally. We also discussed my idea, mentioned some days ago, that in the beginning of these sessions we had actually contacted Frank Watts rather than Seth. Jane resumed dictating at 11:17.)
