“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Earlier in the day I prepared the 7th envelope test for the session tonight. This time I picked a negative I had taken during our vacation in 1964 at York Beach, ME. The subject was the Driftwood Hotel, situated but a stone’s throw from the beach. This place has strong emotional attachments for Jane and me. It will be remembered that it was in the dancing room of the Driftwood that Jane and I saw the personality fragments we had ourselves created, on our vacation in York Beach in 1963. See the 9th session in Volume 1. We had this experience several months before these sessions began. See the sketch of the negative on page 255 of this Volume 4.

Joseph, you will let me know if and when I speak too swiftly.

Do you have a test for me this evening?

(Peggy said that she watched me rather than Jane during the test, and that I did not betray by facial movement anything about whether Jane was doing well on the test, or not well.

Our cat lover is embarrassed when he looks at me.

([Peggy smiling:] “Why would you say that? You said “he” when you spoke to me.”)

(This little exchange was interesting to Jane and me. It will be remembered that Jane’s entity name is Ruburt, and that Seth refers to Ruburt as “he”; our interpretation of this being that Jane’s entity is male-oriented in the overall sense. Many sessions ago however Seth explained that this male or female orientation had little if anything to do with sex as we conceive it.

I watch Joseph’s hand. I will be glad to give suggestions when you remind me, so that your hand will not tire, and so that I do not tire our friends.

—but because I have sympathy for the limitations of your endurance. I will answer any questions put to me kindly.
