“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By 8:45 PM Jane was nervous as usual before a session. No witnesses had appeared. Jane began dictating in a rather quiet voice, and maintained it for most of the session. She paced as usual and her eyes darkened as usual.)

(Break at 10:31. Jane was dissociated as usual. My hand was somewhat weary, and her voice showed signs of weariness also. She resumed at 10:36.)

(I asked Jane if she wanted to end the session, but she merely shrugged. I could see that she was somewhat tired; her voice was getting hoarse also, but since I hoped we could get a little more information to verify the hypnosis experiment, for use in Jane’s book, I decided to continue.

(Jane’s voice was by now very hoarse and tired, yet she continued. I take Seth’s reference to a friend’s apothecary shop to mean the one operated by our friend in this life, John Bradley, who has been a witness to several sessions. According to Seth, John in his immediate past life ran such a shop in Boston; he moved at that time in the outer circle of our acquaintance. See the 21st session [in Vol. One]. In that life Seth states John died in 1863, which helps determine the time Jane and I lived in our immediately past life also.)

I do not know how much further Ruburt will go along with me. There was one illegitimate child as a result of your affair with Ruburt’s present mother. The church had three bells. You were disciplined in all ways except sexual ways. You had close to 300 parishioners and a very husky voice. You died at 63 and were buried in the church courtyard.

(End at 11:30. Jane was dissociated. She was now very tired, her voice very weak. All she wanted to do was sleep. Neither of us displayed any hand phenomena by now.)

(Friday 6/5, 9:30 PM: I tried this session without deliberately inducing the light trance state. Saw a little girl in a short dress kicking up the dust in a gutter beside a curb; making the dust fly quite diligently. Also heard some popular music. I was snapped out of the desired state several times by a shouting voice, unrecognized. Also several other vague glimpses and sounds.

(Sun. 6/7, 3:30 AM: Had been asleep but woke up. While in desired state I then saw very vividly and with some duration the head and shoulders of a handsome man of about 40, facing me but not looking at me. First his face looked to my right, then the head swung slowly to my left. This was quite vivid; there were highlights of blue and white in his hair, which was black; I also remember the highlights on the side of his face, and the skin texture. He wore a blue or black suit coat, white shirt, dark tie. Face was animated; he could have been speaking to others. I also believe I heard some voices.
