“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This evening Jane checked with her pendulum technique, and learned that it would be best for her to sign the contract as it stands. Mr. Fell has already made some changes in the contract, as requested by Jane. The pendulum also advised her against a trip to New York City at this time. I asked myself the same questions with my own pendulum, and received the same answers. The upshot of all this was that by session time we had about decided to sign the contact.

(Break at 9:39. Jane had been dissociated, but toward the last realized she was coughing. Seth, she said, took a break so that she could rest. She drank some water, remarking that as far as she could remember this was the first time she had ever so interrupted a session. Without checking each session, I agree.

(“How about the way we use the pendulum to check our predictions, after the event? Is that a valid use of it?”)

The pendulum can be used to check predictions, although such a study will involve long-term experimentation. Any material proof of this sort is extremely difficult, since oftentimes you pick up a generalized picture of coming events, so to speak, and the words that you use are so literal that they cannot convey the whole picture sufficiently enough so that validity can be proven, in your terms. By all means continue.

(For many months now both Jane and I have followed a practice of making perhaps half a dozen predictions for the following day. Usually each one consists of three or four words at the most. On the day the predictions were made for, we check them against what we can consciously remember of the day’s events. It is great fun to make them, and was Jane’s idea originally.
