“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By 8:50 Jane said, “I sort of feel Seth around, but I don’t know what he’s going to talk about.” She also said she did not feel quite as nervous. At 8:58 she had received Seth’s greeting; but she held him off until 9 PM.

(I had mentioned this thought to Jane several hours ago, thinking that if she needed an exclusive workroom there was no solution for it but to move to a larger apartment.)

(Break at 9:30. Jane was dissociated as usual. Looking out our living room window just then, I saw the service truck from the TV cable company parked there. Jane had called them earlier because our reception had been poor ever since the falling tree limb of March 6 had ripped down the line. Servicemen had been to the house several times in an effort to improve the reception. Jane particularly missed the channel for music only, since she was used to working by this in the mornings.

(We were surprised now to see anyone working at this hour of the night. And of course we immediately thought of the session being interrupted. At 9:33, Seth interrupted break to deliver the following through Jane:)

(At 9:34 the service truck moved to the back of our house; we could see a man with a flashlight checking wires, etc., but no one knocked on our door. Jane resumed dictation at 9:35. And here again, her first few sentences answered the question in my own mind.)

(Break at 10:07. Jane was dissociated as usual. She delivered the underlined material above by pounding on the table as she spoke. Jane felt we had been experiencing foreshortened time. She said that with this kind of material Seth has to open her up more than usual to get it through, that he gets her into a conceptual framework state of mind.

(The service man from the TV cable company was still working at the back of the house. Jane resumed at 10:17.)

(At 10:22 the TV serviceman knocked on the door, just as Jane finished the above sentence. He spent several minutes checking reception on our set while we talked with him. He was on duty until 11:00 PM. He left at 10:30. Jane rested briefly, for she could not make the switch back to Seth that quick, then resumed dictating at 10:31.)

(For the next four paragraphs, I experienced many instances of what I thought might be telepathy between Jane and me. I did not receive whole sentences from her, but often would seem to pick out the exact words of a phrase just before she gave voice to them.)

(Break at 11:01. Jane was dissociated as usual. We talked about Jane asking Bill Macdonnel to be a witness to next Wednesday’s session. Bill had agreed. We also wondered whether Seth would say anything about our TV repairman. Resume at 11:08.)

(After the session Jane said she tried to be very careful about passing on the above information, because she is always afraid of distorting it in such cases. Neither of us knows the TV man or had seen him before. To date, March 18, we have not checked in any way to see if the information is correct.)

(End at 11:32. Jane was dissociated as usual.)
