“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I were back home from visiting Miss Callahan, in the hospital, by 8:30. We spent the time remaining before the session was due in discussing the flash Jane had received from Seth, concerning her dream about Miss C., and then in sitting quietly for a few minutes.

(“Seth, why did Miss Callahan tell us back in early December that she didn’t know, or at least remember, Frank Watts?”

(Break at 10:55. Jane’s voice was getting tired by now. During the past two monologues she had been fairly well dissociated. She could feel Seth trying to get the material through without overloading her, she could feel him trying to get her to use the right words. It was as though, she said, Seth was stretching her brain in an effort to get the material through.

(Indeed, Jane and I had both been strongly aware that Seth was evidently doing something with respect to time, during the last few sessions. The peculiar thing is that while the session is underway neither of us is aware of any change. It is only at a break, for instance, that we will notice the amount of material we have taken in half an hour or thereabouts. Without running actual physical tests for comparison, we seem to accumulate quite a bit more than would usually be possible without going at top speed. Yet during a session Jane while talking steadily, nevertheless pauses often, and I am no longer pressed to write at top speed to keep up with her.

(“Seth, we’ve received our ESP cards from Duke.”)

(“Good evening, Seth.”
