“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was unplanned. Bill Macdonnel, who has witnessed several sessions and has been involved in some of the effects obtained during sessions, was visiting us. He did not feel well, and I was quite lethargic. Jane was restless however, so we began to try various small ESP experiments. We tried for physical effects without success. After an hour or so of this, Jane decided to call on Seth. I brought out my notebook.

(I could not distinguish her features. I tried to take notes in this poor light, but gave up after half a dozen lines. What follows is a reasonably accurate reconstruction of Seth’s material. The first paragraph, however, is a verbatim transcript.)

(For some little time longer we waited without observing any change relating to Jane. Our cat Willy moved about the dark apartment in a normal manner, apparently not sensing anything strange to him. Jane finally switched on a light, saying that Seth was gone.

(I had thought Seth would stay, to say something about why results had not been good, but Jane said the session was over. She was not nearly as dissociated as usual. She had felt “weird” at finding herself pacing again during delivery, when she had just become used to speaking while being seated. End at approximately 11:00.
