“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After supper this evening I went around the corner to the office of Doc Piper and invited him to attend the session, since last week he had expressed an interest in doing so. Our friend accepted the invitation, with the proviso that he would come to the apartment providing his office was clear of patients by 9 PM. We made a further agreement that he come to Wednesday’s session if he could not make it this evening.

(It was a very hot and humid evening. By 8:55 Doc Piper had not appeared, and from my studio in the back of the apartment I could look across backyards and see his office lights still on. Jane was only a little nervous before the session. “The idea of people we know coming to sessions doesn’t bother me at all,” she said. “It’s only when strangers are coming that I get really nervous.”

(Jane began dictating on time, and in a quiet and normal voice. Her pacing was at a comfortable rate, her eyes dark as usual. She maintained these attitudes for the whole session, although where indicated she took rather long pauses while delivering the material.)

(By now, Jane was speaking at a slower rate, with quite a few rather long pauses between phrases and/or sentences.)

(Break at 9:27. Jane was dissociated as usual. It might be interesting to note that while Jane was delivering this material, she strolled about the room without a sign of discomfort on this very hot and stuffy, humid night. Her skin was dry and fresh looking. On the other hand, sitting with my clothes stuck to my body, I had to place a cardboard under my right hand in order to avoid soaking my notepaper.

(Break at 9:58. Jane was dissociated as usual. And again, she was unbothered by the heavy heat while delivering the material. My writing hand was by now somewhat tired, though I hadn’t been overworked this evening by any means.

(Although Seth has given us relatively little on the fifth dimension, he has made many references to this one session. See the 12th session, of January 2, 1964, page 60. Notice also that this material was obtained 60 sessions ago; and as far as my memory serves, Seth has not contradicted himself on this fifth dimensional material in any sessions that have taken place since then.)

(End at 10:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she could feel Seth abruptly leave when he reached the end of the session. “He’s gone,” she said. She is of the opinion that Seth likes to deliver his material in batches, whether they be long or short.

(Wed. 7/22, 8:00 PM: I experienced a generalized feeling of enlargement once again in my hands. Although this was the only result, the half-hour’s time allotted for the experiment passed very rapidly. I did not sleep.

(The board began to work for them immediately, where it had taken Jane and me quite a few sessions before we obtained anything at all through it. I took down the answers the Pipers obtained, and Jane was an observer.

(By the time the Pipers had asked their third question of the board, concerning the name of the communicant they had raised, Fred Lake, Jane had received this name mentally. She did not tell the Pipers, but she had the whole name in mind by the time the pointer had moved to the letter F. She was quite surprised, and has never had the experience before, although it has been some months since either of us watched others working the board—indeed, since the Seth material began to flow. Perhaps Jane’s abilities have improved in that field also.

(The next question the Pipers asked for was a date from Fred Lake. Jane received an answer for this question too, and noted it down on her own. The pointer however, hesitated over several numbers in giving the Pipers an answer, so the results here are inconclusive.
