“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane, her ESP book finished and mailed, has some free time for a change. She has copied the 179th, 180th and 183rd sessions to send to Dr. Instream. She also plans to write him a letter. As it developed, she will be copying Part One of this session to send to Dr. Instream also, for even though the session was unscheduled an envelope test developed. Once again parts of the test results were unexpected. The whole test was very interesting; and all the more so because it was Jane’s first before witnesses.

(Actually the young couple calling on us live in a downstairs apartment. They have been married about a month. Both of them work at my place of employment, Artistic Card Co., in Elmira. I secured the apartment for them when a vacancy developed just before their marriage. The young lady works with me in the art department. Her husband is a salesman who travels at irregular intervals, but quite often.

(Much was said before the envelope test developed, and this is summarized in Part Two. At about 11:50 PM Seth surprised me by asking if I had a test prepared. I replied that I had and went back to my studio to get the envelope I had readied for last Wednesday’s session, and my pen and notebook. Jane, as Seth, sat quietly talking with the Gallaghers while I was gone; I wondered if the enforced delay would give her time to become nervous.

We held many sessions before we tried such tests... while we waited for Ruburt’s confidence and abilities to develop... They are still growing. They need even more developing, and they shall be.

(As Seth suggested, it developed that my head was good for the next few hours, and I was more than willing to comply with the suggestion. Seth said I could have information concerning my parents and my hay fever at any time during a regular session, so I could get it all in writing. He said he prefers to deal with blocks of material in this fashion.

(Seth told me that if possible I should go out dancing as usual with Jane tomorrow night, Saturday, if I felt good enough. As it developed we did not go.

(Seth said that nevertheless the government had a point when they tried to prevent public panic by denying the existence of such craft. A great danger at this particular time would be that an admission of the saucer’s existence would, strangely enough, serve to unite the far-left and far-right extremist groups in this country. These groups would unite in declaring the craft to be Russian, that they were much advanced over anything we have; this whole furor would create panic, Seth said. In six months such reasoning would not apply, because of impending developments in this country. This would presumably be because of the impending elections, though Seth didn’t say this in so many words. In answer to my question he said Barry Goldwater would not be one of the far-rightists to cause trouble. Nothing was said about the source of the saucers, their inhabitants, etc.

(Any trouble that developed would be the result of present trends involving Leonard, and at this time these trends were so general it was impossible to pinpoint future events with any certainty. If the present trends were changed, the personality of the future trouble would change also. Jane and I know Leonard fairly well, but actually know little of his inner feelings, his friends, etc. We have no idea of what Seth means by trends. I had become concerned about attempting to warn Leonard in some fashion, but Seth said this could not be done.
