“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Interestingly enough, Jane came back to my studio as I was writing down the above paragraph in longhand. I usually write these preliminary notes before the session to save time. I tried to divert her attention now but she read the words “without telling Jane beforehand.” She left the studio when I asked her to, but I now thought she had been alerted to something unusual, and might be anticipating a test of some sort. I had not wanted to make her nervous.

(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 now suggest your break.

Now, for ourselves: Ruburt must work some things through on his own, as he knows. There is no doubt that the whole affair still seems strange to him, and he is acclimating himself to new conditions as they arise.

Ruburt has been lately in a period in which he has been seeking knowledge as to his own abilities. This has been reflected in his dream activities, as well as in his waking situation. The concentration upon psychic phenomena in general, including his concentration in his book, has somewhat made him weary. This is very temporary, and already he is beginning to find new reserves of energy. I am easy on him now, however, for the above mentioned reasons.

I will now suggest a short break.

(Break at 9:43. Jane was dissociated as usual. Traffic had become noisy again, and she said she thought Seth took the break now because of this. Jane had realized she was discussing the envelope. When she opened it she was quite disappointed with the results. I was pleased.

(Jane had spoken for much of the evening with her head down at a slight angle. Very recently she had lifted it somewhat, and I saw that her eyes appeared to be slitted. Now they opened, at 10:15. She looked at me casually. Her eyes were very dark, without highlights.

(Jane’s eyes now closed at times as she spoke. Her voice was quiet and she was still smoking.)

(Jane’s eyes now opened again, and she lit a cigarette while speaking.)

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.
