“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I was not sure whether the test would be telepathic or clairvoyant, or a combination. I felt it would now be different since Jane was probably alerted. She confirmed this just before the session when she asked me about it, so I gave her the envelope at 8:57. She agreed to some nervousness, though not a great deal. She also said she thought Seth might address the session to Dr. Instream, and that if he did she would prefer not to be distracted. Thus she might not deal with the envelope.

I would like to make a few points here in connection with the letter which you recently received from Dr. Instream.

(Cars and trucks rumbled and boomed by outside, and Jane sat quietly until the noise subsided somewhat. Seth refers above to Dr. Instream’s letter of August 10.)

Another meeting between Dr. Instream and myself would be advantageous, so that we could speak plainly. Perhaps such a meeting would facilitate mutual understanding, without which such a venture has little hope of success.

(Another long pause, until the traffic noise subsided. The recorded session that Seth addressed to Dr. Instream is the 170th.)

For one thing, I would like to know specifically what Dr. Instream has in mind, and prefer that we work it from that angle. This could be discussed between us.

I would consider it a gesture of courtesy if Dr. Instream acquainted himself with some of our material.

Your idea Joseph was a good one basically, for practice. It was hardly scientific enough, even if the results were 100 percent accurate, which they were not, for Dr. Instream. But it is a beginning.

A meeting with Dr. Instream will build up Ruburt’s confidence, in that he will feel that he knows with whom he is dealing. I know, but Ruburt needs to feel a friendly reinforcement on the doctor’s part.

There must be a friendly cooperation. Even scientific investigations can flourish in such an atmosphere. We will now end the session. My heartiest wishes to you both, and my regards to Dr. Instream.

An emotional rapport of some sort, established between Ruburt and Dr. Instream, would definitely help us.

Such an informal meeting as I have suggested, perhaps on Ruburt’s home ground, again, would reinforce such rapport. And a frank as well as objective attitude on the part of Dr. Instream in his letters would also help.
