“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Since Jane began to achieve a deeper trance state, and to speak while sitting down and with her eyes closed, she has become much more sensitive to interruptions. For this reason we have been holding recent sessions in a protected back room. This room is too small to hold three people comfortably however, so for the session we moved back out to the living room. Most of the sessions have been held there. We chanced interruptions but none developed.

(See Volume 2, page 158 of the 63rd session, of June 17, 1964. I doubt if this data would be entered on the record had not Seth mentioned it without prompting. It concerns the husband of a friend of Jane’s, and an involvement with narcotics. The couple no longer live in Elmira. Several Elmirans keep well informed concerning them, and one Elmiran happens to work in the same out-of-state town in which they live.

At one time the personality was involved with very early paper manufacturing, in I believe Belgium. The personality was then a male. The personality has always been involved with communication in one form or another in various lives.

In the past lives, again, desire for communication was strong. It is strong now. However, it is as if the personality stands before another door, where the abilities for communication can turn the knob, but he will not turn the knob. The personality stands in an anteroom, with all his knotted energies, in indecision, and will not open the door leading inward, and will not turn in the other direction, in the direction from which he has come, to the door that leads outward. It is the indecision here that is important.

There was no personal connection between the three of you in past lives.

(Jane now took a very long pause. It will be remembered that Philip is the entity name for John Bradley, who first mentioned the sessions to Lorraine. Lorraine told us later that she was not consciously aware of the existence of the sessions before John told her about them. She also said the number fifteen had no particular significance for her as far as she was aware. Seth mentions a period of fifteen years, however, in connection with past lives for her. See page 319.)

He was near to being a beggar, living in poverty. Reaching out to passersby and touching their garments, he could accurately tell their social and economic standing through the touch of the cloth. He sang for money or whatever was given him.
