“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane sat down at about 10:30. One light was on in the living room but this bothered her, even though she sat with her back to it. I turned this light off then and turned one on in the kitchen; this cast an indirect light into the living room, enough for me to see to write.

(But this light also bothered Jane, to such an extent that within a few minutes she switched it off. This left the room lit spasmodically by the lights from passing traffic. We waited in the dark room. Jane finally began to speak, rather rapidly, and in a voice a little heavier than usual. At the same time she rose and began to pace slowly about.

(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.)

(Jane now sat down. Her chair was against a wall, and out of the direct line of reflected traffic lights, although I could see shadows pass across the white blur of her face. Again, I could not distinguish her features.)

(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.
