“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were again witnesses. To date they have witnessed the following sessions: 158, 161, 162, 168 and 170.

(Our visitors were a young couple from next door, stopping briefly before continuing on other errands. They do not know about the sessions. After their departure, we agreed that our friends probably sensed that something unusual was going on. We did not ask them to stay. And as Bill Gallagher pointed out, they probably heard the deep Seth voice while in the hall outside our door; upon admittance they saw no one with which to identify such a voice. Also, although the room was well lighted the shades were closed, a practice Jane and I do not indulge in otherwise.

(Jane’s voice hit a louder and stronger note briefly. Again she was much amused. She sat opposite Bill Gallagher. Now, her eyes still closed, she hiked her chair closer, then pointed at him.)

(We discussed with the Gallaghers the material given on dream therapy in sessions 172-74. Bill Gallagher also wondered about using suggestion even in working out problems connected with a hobby. His hobby is rope work, and at times the designs he uses are quite complicated.

(Grinning, Jane pointed to Bill Gallagher. Her eyes were still closed, her voice a bit deep, her pace fast.)

(Jane, the Gallaghers and I were discussing the session and related subjects when Seth came through again at 11:00. All of us were in very good humor, including Seth; the session as it continued reflected this, and a rapid-fire exchange resulted in which Jane was in and out of trance at the wink of an eye, so to speak. She manifested this same ability during the 169th session, held in Dr. Instream’s office in Oswego, NY, but I would say that her switching back and forth this evening was more rapid. She said later that it was no effort at all.

(Bill Gallagher had something to say, by way of analogy, about Socrates and the city street cleaners.)
