“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Tonight’s session was held in our back room. My writing table is beside a bookcase, and before the session I slipped the test envelope between a couple of books without Jane being present. Thus I could easily reach it during the session.

(Bill Macdonnel was present but I was working in my studio. Jane said my absence annoyed her somewhat. Perhaps too cautiously, I had advised her against the attempt earlier in the day, since she had expressed general fatigue. She was also not quite sure of how sympathetic Bill was to the attempt.

He is concerned too much about the object which your friends are using for the other test, and for now I am afraid that he will unwittingly distort this material in this respect.

In a very short time, as his confidence is built up, we will not have the difficulty. I believe however that he will be able to take part in such tests when your friends are present and the object is concealed. But he should not be forewarned.
