“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was not expected on our part, and took place without the use of the Ouija board. Since Seth had stated that unscheduled sessions would be the exception, Jane and I were waiting for the regularly scheduled session of tomorrow, Wednesday.

(I had obtained treatment for my back and by now felt much better. At about 9 PM Jane and I were having a snack when John Bradley called. John is the drug salesman who had visited us during the 21st session.

(As the three of us sat at the table sipping wine and discussing Seth, Jane began to get nudges from Seth every so often. It will be remembered that during the 21st session Seth had wanted John to stay as a witness. But tonight, since it was getting late and I had doubts about my ability to keep up with the dictation, I thought it better that we pass up the chance. I also thought Jane would be overly tired. John offered to leave, but I said aloud that we’d rather wait for our regular session time.

(This statement, Jane informed me, made Seth boiling mad. She insisted that I get pen and paper, that we have a session now with John as a witness. So the session began. At its end will be found a copy of John Bradley’s handwritten, dated and signed statement that he was a witness.

(Through this session Jane’s voice was rather stronger and a bit deeper than usual. Her eyes darkened as usual, her pacing was slow. She later told me that at the beginning she was very nervous, since this was her first time before a witness. In addition we had more lights on than usual, and this bothered her at first. But the feeling soon left.)

(Break at 10:57. John Bradley reported that Seth as he went along began to answer each question he—John—thought of as soon as it came to mind. Jane and I suggested to John that he write a statement as a witness to the session. Break ended just as John, trying to get entity names versus personality names straightened out, was wondering how to address Seth in his statement. Resume at 11:05.)

(Now it was John’s turn to laugh. Neither Jane or I have met his wife.)

(Jane had blurted this strange-sounding name out so quickly that I lost my way trying to get it on paper. Seth obligingly spelled it out letter by letter.)

(Break at 11:28. Jane said that while delivering this material she once again lost track of herself and her surroundings completely. She was not aware of John, myself, or the room. This was the first occurrence of such depth since the 23rd session. Jane had of course met my eyes many times as she paced back and forth rather slowly; her voice had been rather strong. Resume at 11:35.)

I wanted to make one point, but first, there is nothing like a witness to convince my darling nervous Ruburt that I am I, and not her, meaning Jane; like a good evidence of telepathy, as in John’s case this evening.

(End at 12:00 midnight. We did not use the board to bid Seth good night. And again, Jane while delivering the above material was unaware of her surroundings; she “returned,” however as soon as the session ended.

(Walking into the living room before preparing for bed, I was surprised to find Jane standing silently at her desk. Staring at me, she then pointed to a pen and paper she had evidently placed there on the desk. As I sat down to write she began to dictate. Resume at 1:35 AM.)

(Jane said then she had felt for some time that Seth was more emotionally involved with me than with her. However, she had never mentioned this, to the best of my knowledge.

(In bed finally, Jane received two brief notes from Seth, rather incomplete. The first concerned condensed time; that is, in what may be a split second to the entity, the incarnated personality will experience a time duration of say, 70 years. The second note was a joke of sorts: Just because Seth apologized, I was not to get a big head.

(In this session Seth spoke of my past life and attributed my current patterns of life to the lessons learned by my previous existences. Of immediately provable fact is that during the session Jane [Ruburt] spoke with a deeper voice than usual, she had a definite Boston accent on certain words. Prior to the start of the session I had, in conversation, asked Robbie [Joseph] a question involving his point of continuous existence versus evolution. Seth answered my questions and while he was giving his general answer, other related questions would creep into my mind and these would immediately be answered by Seth. This happened so frequently that towards the end of the session, when I would think of a question I would have immediate confidence that it would be subsequently answered.
