“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:00 PM Jim Tennant arrived to be a witness. He spent the next hour reading back material. He also brought two questions, one personal and the other very technical, from people he works with at Corning Glass.

(Jane was up from her nap by 8:30 PM. At 8:55 she said she was not as nervous as usual before a session. She had the feeling that Seth had “taken care” of her somehow this evening, putting to rest her concern over witnesses. I showed her our growing list of psychological time experiences, in the hope that Seth would discuss them tonight. Jane began dictating in a voice a bit heavier than usual, and maintained it throughout the session. All evening she paced back and forth slowly, hands in pockets. Her eyes darkened as usual.)

I will have more to say along these lines, but suggest your first break. I also will make some comments on witnesses in general, which you may find helpful. And my greetings, incidentally, to your guest.

I have rushed in one manner, giving you some excellent material to follow that last session, and yet the quality did not suffer, though I pushed Ruburt rather far. He was somewhat concerned since you have begun having witnesses, and you will see the material speaks for itself. This is a process of education. When you are asked about these sessions, that is your answer. On my part, I am an educator. Any results or so-called demonstrations will be the result of training, study, discipline and exercises.

I have often told you of the possible dangers involved in approaching experiments without the safeguards of discipline and study. After attendance at an initial session, those interested should then begin a study of the material. In no instance should any experiments be tried by witnesses in the beginning.

(It might be added here that John Bradley, our drug-salesman friend from Williamsport, PA, who has been a witness several times now and has read some of the material, visited us on Tuesday, May 5, the day before this session was held. He told us again about a lawyer friend of his in Williamsport, who wanted to witness a session, and indeed was willing to make the long drive [about 200 miles round trip] solely for this purpose. Jane had been unsure as to what to say the first time John had mentioned his friend, since her experience with witnesses had been very limited. We have had several witnesses since then however, so she told John his friend would be welcome now; John may make arrangements as to the date by mail.)
