“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The double envelope contained a simple line drawing I executed in black ink on ordinary white paper. It was folded once. I chose this subject matter in an effort to see how Seth would handle more abstract subjects. The drawing is reproduced on page 232; it is a pen tracing made from the original on a light table.

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who have witnessed several sessions, visited us this evening, Friday, September 3. Our conversation touched upon many subjects. They read the 183rd session, dealing with Jane’s third envelope test. No session had been planned for this evening but as the four of us sat around our coffee table Seth came through at about 10:30 PM.

(In this summary I give all the information I can recall on a particular subject at the same time, for convenience’s sake, although it may have been scattered throughout the session. Thus some of the above material was given to me after the Gallaghers had left.

(A few days ago Peggy Gallagher had brought Jane a copy of the latest Cosmopolitan magazine, and suggested that Jane query them about running some excerpts from her ESP book. In view of Cosmo’s drastically revised format, Jane agreed to try. Naturally we wondered how the ESP subject would be received by a popular magazine, and this gave us a chance to try an experiment that we had discussed before.

(One disquieting subject arose after the Gallaghers had left, and Jane, Seth and I were talking quietly. Seth surprised me by mentioning our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes. We have known him for several years but he does not know of the sessions. Seth began by saying that the following information was on the edge of Ruburt’s awareness and that he was not very well focused upon it. It had to do with the possibility of an accident or an unpleasantness for Leonard sometime within the next three months. Seth then mentioned the period from September 15 to October 15, after saying that possibly he could focus a little more intently upon the problem.
