“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 144

(Mrs. Lorraine Shafer witnessed tonight’s session. She was introduced to the Seth material by John Bradley, who has witnessed several sessions and read much of the material himself. Lorraine took her own shorthand notes of the material. She has also offered to do some typing for Jane and me.

(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.

The information which Ruburt learned this morning is correct in essence, and you will see that the data I gave you many sessions back is coming to pass.

(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.

(After the session Lorraine told us she has had no throat, ear or hand difficulty.)

(Seth has dealt with dreams in many sessions. See the 44th, the 92nd-101st and the 122nd-131st sessions, among others.)

But after the lecture that you took from me at our last session I do not blame you, as long as it is not carried too far.

There was however a telepathic connection. The present personality of our visitor was aware of the sessions before Philip mentioned them. I expect that the association will continue. The number fifteen is an important one to our visitor.

(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.)

I am rather pleased with the evening’s session. Indeed, I feel in rather good spirits, if you will again forgive the phrase. We will at our next session truly get down again to business, as far as our discussions on action are concerned.

You may now do as you like. You may close the session, or you may take a short break and continue for a few social pleasantries.

(End at 11:05. Jane was well dissociated. As the session ended she sat still, with her eyes still closed. It became apparent that she was having trouble opening them. She finally made it. “He didn’t want to go,” she said.

(End at 11:11. Jane was fully dissociated, she said, “really out.” But as the session ended her eyes opened promptly.)
