“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“How old was she?”)

(“Then I did answer Jane’s question correctly the other session, when we tried receiving answers without the board. I was concerned because I thought I had given her the wrong answer when Fawcett rejected the book.”)

(“What was the image our friend Bill Macdonnel saw in the rocking chair, in his bedroom in Niagara Falls, in December of 1961?”)

(“Was this girl an apparition?”)

Was fragment of his own entity, a past personality regaining momentary independence on visual plane. Sometimes a lapse occurs of this type. Take break.

(Break at 9:55. By now Jane was receiving the answers to so many of my questions in advance of the board, that with her agreement I began to take them down from her dictation. In these instances she felt too restless and impatient to merely sit quietly while the board spelled the answers out. Whenever she dictated an answer to me, or part of one, it is noted in the text of the answer at the exact point dictation began. Resume at 10:03.

(“Seth, was this image conscious of Bill’s presence?”)

(Jane did remember it, beginning with the word superego, but she was receiving the answer very quickly at that point; also she thought she might be consciously tinkering with the message by using such a word as superego.

The entity operates its fragments in what you would call a subconscious manner, that is, without conscious direction. (Jane dictates:) The entity gives the fragment independent life, then the entity more or less forgets them. When a momentary lapse of control happens they both come face to face. It’s as impossible for the entity to control fragment personalities as for the conscious mind to be aware, or control its own heartbeat. In this case the image concerned was a past fragment.

(“Who was Bill Macdonnel’s second landlady?”)

Yes. It was one of many that came and vanished. (Jane added:) Mesophania.

(Jane reported that she distinctly felt that Seth was largely uninterested in this exchange.

(“I was thinking of sending it to Ace.”)

(Jane had the qualifying thought that Seth was more amused in his reply than angry.

(“Seth, this morning when I asked Jane what chlorophyll was, she replied that it was a mental enzyme. Is that correct?”)
