“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane rather surprised us by opening the session in a voice that was surprisingly deep and somewhat loud. I can say that the voice was somewhat deeper than her voice in the 170th session, though lacking of course anything like the sheer volume displayed in that session. At times it was almost a bass voice, quite vibrant, produced without visible strain. Indeed, Seth was in an almost jocular mood.

Now first of all Joseph, when I speak too quickly you simply must tell me so. If you do not speak out then indeed I am not to blame—

Now. We will indeed cooperate in any investigation in which we may become involved. We will however progress at our own rate, without due speed, and we will in all cases keep our own sessions as uncomplicated as possible.

Any effects that are demonstrated will appear within ordinary sessions. I will endeavor indeed to see that they are as definite as possible, and as clear-cut as will be desired. But spontaneity will as always remain a prerequisite for any such displays.

There will indeed be a give and take between the three of us, and your good investigators. I thought it best in our recorded session that I speak frankly, now, and so I did.

My interest is concerned with those personalities with whom I am involved, and the circle of my interest includes those who come to these sessions; as indeed your own interest includes those people with whom you are acquainted. I never attempt to meddle into the private lives of those with whom I am concerned. If I am invited to comment, then I do.

I am indeed aware, in a general manner, of the main events in your life and in Mark’s. But unless for some reason these are brought forcibly to my attention they remain as a part of my generalized knowledge.

I am indeed aware of many of the events in both of your lives, but it is relatively simple for me to so acquaint myself with your situations. I am willing at any time to render whatever services I can so render, but I do not walk ghostily through your rooms; and most certainly I do not peek through the windows.
