“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our front room, and was free from interruptions. Once again Jane spoke at a fast rate; several times I had to ask her to slow down. As is often the case with witnesses, her delivery was much more active. Although her eyes remained closed for the whole session, her voice was loud and at times quite a bit deeper than usual. She was very restless in her chair, changing position often. It will be remembered that John’s entity name is Philip.)

(Jane smiled, and pointed to John. Her eyes were still closed. Her voice was now loud and active, with a strong edge.)

(Seth dealt with one of John’s past lives and his connection with medicine in an amusing way during the 21st session, of February 3,1964. John knocked on our door during the session, but since we had not yet begun having witnesses, we asked him to return later. As soon as the door closed behind John, Seth went into a rather lengthy rundown on him, much to our surprise. At that time, neither Jane or I had seen John very many times.)

(Break at 9:20. Jane was well dissociated, far-out, she said. Her delivery had been very active, her voice loud at times, her pace fast, her eyes closed.

(Jane resumed in the same active manner, her eyes still closed, her voice strong, at 9:33.)

(Jane smiled and frowned. Her voice now became more amused and less scornful, but not much quieter.)

(Jane’s voice grew to a near shout, briefly. She said later that she did not know the age of the woman medium being discussed here, but that she had taken it for granted it would be in the seventies.)

(Her eyes still closed, her voice again louder, Jane pointed at John Bradley.)

(Break at 10:00. Jane was again well dissociated. Her pace had been fast, and my writing hand was tiring. I had already asked Seth to slow down several times, and now at break asked Jane, as Jane, to see what she could do about the problem. In recent sessions her rate of speaking has pushed my writing ability to the limit, even with the rather elaborate system of symbols and abbreviations I have evolved for taking down the sessions.

(Jane began at a pace slightly slower, in the same strong and active voice, with her eyes again closed, at 10:15.)

(Break at 10:32. Jane was again well dissociated. She ended the delivery with a smile. Her pace of dictation had been so fast recently that I took a break whenever I could.

(It might be noted that I again detected traces of what I call a brogue in Jane’s manner of speaking this evening, and thought it more pronounced as the session wore on. She does not have this characteristic usually. This brogue had been quite pronounced at times during the 162nd session, witnessed by Lorraine Shafer and Bill and Peggy Gallagher, and I have noted traces of it during subsequent sessions.

(This accent has been apparent in other sessions in a minor way at times. Perhaps I am more conscious of it recently because of the two Father Trainor episodes. See the 131st and the 158th sessions. During these readings Jane’s brogue was unmistakable. Jane grew up in an Irish neighborhood in Saratoga Springs, NY, and is a quarter Irish. She had no father at home, growing up as a child, but Father Trainor, a frequent visitor, was Irish.

(Jane resumed with her eyes again closed, and in a somewhat quieter but still fast voice, at 10:43.)

(Jane’s brogue was now becoming more pronounced again.)

(End at 10:50. Jane was well dissociated—far-out, again. Her eyes had remained closed, her voice had been a little quieter.

(John agreed with Seth’s statement, concerning his immediate superior not being, basically, his friend. He had not told Jane and I this, although we had met the individual in question once, briefly, here in Elmira at an art show. John had no idea of a short man of whom he should beware.

(End at 11:14. Jane was fully dissociated. She had no idea of the material. The delivery was totally unexpected, she said, a complete surprise to her. I was also surprised. Jane’s eyes had remained closed; her voice had been rather loud and fast.
