“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By referring to the floor plan of our living room at the end of this session, the placement of the three of us can be quickly determined. Seth, making the above statement, gave no suggestions as to what might transpire. Jane’s delivery was unbroken as she paced about the room at a rather fast rate. Her voice was also quite strong and deep, much deeper than usual, yet she spoke without apparent effort or surprise.

(Bill Macdonnel said that the dark bath doorway turned into a foggy white; he then saw the form of Seth’s apparition stand out against this lighter background. The form was mainly a silhouette, he said, without much detail; yet during the first monologue he obtained a strong look or glimpse of the face. The effect was rather like that of a reversed negative. Bill said the face of the apparition was about six feet above floor level.

(We live on the second floor. The offices of Dr. Levine, our friend and physician, are perhaps forty feet away, on the ground floor of a house that he owns. The side entrance to his suite is directly opposite our windows, and we often see Sam Levine coming and going. He does much night work, and his office lights have many times been burning while a session was in progress.

(Here Jane, in a most comical gesture, left her position on the couch and with her spread hands made a vigorous sweeping gesture, as with an invisible broom, the while bending over close to the floor.)

(From 1960 to 1975, Jane and I [and Willy!] lived in a second-floor apartment, No. 5, at 458 West Water St., in Elmira, NY. Here’s my July 1964 diagram of the apartment’s living room, where the activities in the 68th session took place.)
