“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Thursday, May 14, 1964, 11:45 AM. While trying psychological time, Jane again experienced the feeling she has likened to ecstasy, and described so thoroughly on page 66. The extreme sensation, the thrilling, lasted for over half an hour. She felt very light, she said, and willing to go along with whatever might develop. Discussing her experience, we agreed that perhaps she might be more cautious in the future, as far as being too willing to go along with whatever might develop. We thought that a small step at a time was sufficient.)

(On February 17, 1964 our neighbor Miss Florence Callahan who lived in the front apartment on the same floor as Jane and I, was taken to the hospital suffering from arteriosclerosis. See Session 25, in Vol. 1. On March 9, 1964, Seth said that April 15 would be a day of crisis for Miss Callahan in the hospital. See the 33rd session, page 262. On April 15, Seth stated during the 44th session that Miss Callahan would undergo brain damage. See page 17, Vol. 2.

(Jane and I learned later that indeed on this day Miss Callahan had behaved so erratically at the hospital [throwing things, screaming, struggling, etc.] that her relatives were notified she must be moved, since the hospital could not furnish 24-hour care. On April 18 Miss Callahan was moved to a local rest home, the Town House.

(On Wednesday, May 13, Miss Callahan’s relatives asked Jane if we could move Miss Callahan’s blue divan into our apartment, and in its place let them take a hide-away bed we had in storage; this bed to be used for a nurse who was to live with Miss Callahan when she was brought home from the Town House. We agreed to the swap and it was made Thursday, May 14.

(Jane liked the blue divan; I thought it crowded our own quarters too much. After much discussion we decided to offer the divan to our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, who needed one in good condition. Leonard, a school teacher, knows Miss Callahan, and his apartment abuts hers on the south. But in order to make room for the divan, Leonard first had to get rid of his old one. A friend helped him move it out to the garage; then on Monday, May 18, I helped him move Miss Callahan’s divan into his apartment.

(Perhaps if I had agreed enthusiastically to keep the blue divan, Jane would have done so. As it was, although I told Jane it was up to her as to whether we kept it or not, it was actually Jane who offered it to Leonard. After Monday’s session, the 54th, I did then realize that I had not been keen about keeping it in our apartment.)
