“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This is but the second session we have held outside of Elmira, the other being the 89th, of September 19,1964, held at my brother’s home in Rochester, NY, before three witnesses. Jane was now a little concerned at having a session away from home and in daylight. At the same time she had wanted to hold a session for Dr. Instream, feeling this would explain more about the sessions than any other method could.

I will indeed see what experiments can be made, working within the limitations that are, unfortunately, what we now have to deal with. At a future regular session, I will endeavor in a more specific manner to discuss what can be done here, and what cannot be done. We can do much, much we cannot do. But since we do understand both the potentialities and the limitations, then we can indeed make the best of what we have.

I will seriously endeavor to do what I can do, considering our circumstances. We need have no worries concerning the personality with whom I work, since there is by now some sort of a rapport that will work for us. My cooperation can be counted upon. It goes without saying that all of this cannot happen overnight, but we shall begin.

I now bid you a most fond good afternoon, and thank all for the opportunity for this small discussion. I have endeavored to keep the voice somewhat under control because of the proximity of other offices. My heartiest regards to all.

(Up until this point I had made a verbatim record as usual, and had thought the little session in Dr. Instream’s office ended. An exchange now developed however, that was new to us in the sessions, involving Jane, Seth, Dr. Instream and myself. The pace quickened to some degree, and as stated before I made no effort to interfere with the spontaneity of the session. Unless otherwise noted what follows is the exchange between Dr. Instream and Seth only, and reports the gist of their conversation as taken from the notes and quotes I made on the spot. Nothing is included here which depends on my memory alone.

(Dr. Instream now commented upon the fact that Jane had no apparent fatigue while using the Seth voice.)

(Dr. Instream now asked Seth about the possibility of bringing some other people in on the sessions.)

Nevertheless, he recovered rather quickly. The experience did him much good... a practical example... had it not happened now, a much more vicious attack would have occurred at a later date.

I will now let my friend Ruburt have his cigarette. I would myself prefer a cigar.

(End at 3:28. Jane had been dissociated as usual. Her voice had been good up until the end, and she now displayed no unusual fatigue. Her eyes had remained closed for the entire session.
