“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:00 PM John Bradley arrived to witness the session, and to inform us that his friend in his hometown, Williamsport, PA, had finished copying Volume 1 of the Seth Material and was ready to begin Volume 2.

([John:] “Good evening, Seth. How are you?”)

(It will be remembered that Seth has given Philip as the name of John’s entity.)

(Jane’s voice now became quite amused; she smiled at John and me as she paced back and forth. Miss Callahan’s name enters the discussion because we were discussing her before the session.)

(Break at 9:27. Jane was dissociated as usual. John Bradley set to work drawing a map of his neighborhood in Williamsport. On this map he indicated the location of each house, and it developed that there were two families with two children who lived three doors from him. Of these two families John said that the name of one of them, Snyder, immediately popped into his mind as Seth gave the pertinent material. A copy of John’s map will be found at the end of this session.

(At this moment, by coincidence both Jane and John lit cigarettes. Jane smokes often during her deliveries, yet has little memory of doing so. Habit operates here to perfection, since while delivering material Jane will pick up her package of cigarettes, shake one out, light it and puff away, without losing track at all of her material.)

(Break at 10:37. Jane was dissociated as usual. During break Jane, John and I discussed the above material, wondering what transpires when the three of us with our different viewpoints looked at the same object, for example our TV set; did we all see the same object?

(Now Jane picked up a book of paper matches and held it up before John and me as she paced back and forth.)

([John:] “Good evening, Seth.”

(John Bradley requested a copy of the material pertaining to him. He left for his motel, taking with him a carbon of Volume 2 of the Seth Material for copying. It seems possible that when John next attends a session he will be accompanied by his lawyer friend from Williamsport, PA.

(A copy of the map John drew of his neighborhood will be found on the following page.)

John’s map. Each dot and x represents a house, the x’s representing families with children in the neighborhood. Note that two families with children live three doors from John; the Snyder family especially came to John’s mind as Seth gave the material on pages 159-160.

(I knew I was in a good state, but it occurred to me that I needed someone to ask me questions, or that I should somehow direct my purpose and energy. I repeated a few times that I stood by Rob’s chair again, but nothing happened. Then on impulse I said mentally: “What’s wrong with John Bradley’s neck?” [Visiting last night and witnessing the 63rd session, John had remarked about the feeling of a lump inside his throat or neck, yet could not find any lump.]
