“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Both of us napped until 8:45. No witnesses were scheduled. We felt quite relaxed, although as session time approached Jane felt somewhat nervous. She began to dictate in a normal voice, pacing slowly, and maintained these patterns all through the session. Her eyes darkened as usual.)

I suggest you take your break. I had some indecision, myself, as to whether or not to discuss with you matters dealing with any witnesses that might want to sit in on our sessions, and still may do so. Nevertheless at this point you seem to be holding your own. By all means take your break, and if it seems that I am shoving a lot at you this evening, it is only because I want to make the best of the time that we have.

(Last Saturday Jane received several brief flashes from Seth; we have been concerned lately with the best way to handle the problem of witnesses—that is, to familiarize potential witnesses with the material, and at the same time keep our sense of privacy, and also maintain control of the sessions. Jane rather angrily cut Seth off, feeling this is a problem we must handle ourselves.

(One idea we think has promise is that witnesses attending the Wednesday sessions—we decided to keep Monday sessions private so that we could relax—first read the material in another room while the session itself is going on. Then when they have familiarized themselves with the material they can sit in on the sessions and understand what is going on. But during this reading witnesses could take notes, etc., or approach the material in any way they saw fit. We keep but one copy on hand, so cannot let the material off the premises.

The horse incident is extremely interesting, though it represents only a partial comprehension, or rather a partially transmitted comprehension. I am pleased with Ruburt’s Saratoga experience also, and wish to let him know that we will see to it that witnesses do not bother him.
