“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 7:30 PM. Jane was resting briefly in preparation for tonight’s session, as she usually does. Idly she wondered how our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, would be as a witness. Leonard is a school teacher and knows of our interest in ESP, but not about these sessions. Jane then received the following from Seth:)

(Jane believed she received more, but she was in a dreamy state and could recall nothing upon awakening. At 8:30 she had no idea of what Seth would talk about for the session, but she was increasingly aware of a feeling that Seth wanted her to ask Leonard in as a witness. We thought it too late to explain much to him by then, but by 8:35 the feeling was so strong that Jane knocked on Leonard’s door.

(Seth’s greeting surprised us both; I interrupted him, and Jane stopped pacing for a moment.)

(Once again, as soon as this subject came to my mind, Jane began to immediately deal with it. The optimistic remarks had come through the Ouija board in the first two or three sessions; none of them had materialized, and in the light of Seth’s recent material on distortions Jane and I had thought distortion the reason for this failure.)

(“Seth, is there any telepathy taking place between Jane and I?”)

(Break at 9:31. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her voice had been fairly strong at the start of the session, but it was tapering off by the time break arrived. She said she heard Seth’s good afternoon greeting just before she gave voice to it, and immediately became alarmed because she couldn’t determine what was going on. This is about the way I felt, also. Resume at 9:36.)

(I tried to lead Seth on once more.

(Break at 10:45. Jane was dissociated as usual. It developed that during the exchange with Seth Jane had thought I used the word fluid, instead of fluent. To me however the two words had the same implication in this instance.

(This was true. Recalling this statement as I had first recorded it, I had wondered about its accuracy more and more as Seth gave us additional information on the much wider abilities of the inner senses. Later, checking my original handwritten notes, I found that I had indeed taken the statement down that way, then typed it up that way. So, although we didn’t pinpoint the exact cause of the error, at least it has been corrected.)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(My remark above was based on a flash of intuition. Although Seth agreed with it he did not elaborate upon it, so the session ended at 11:35.
