“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last week we received Dr. Instream’s letter of September 13, in which he wrote that he would like to try straight clairvoyant communication with Seth on Monday and Wednesday nights at 10 PM. Dr. Instream also noted that on the evening of August 23,1965 he and his wife stopped overnight at York Beach, ME, while traveling. It will be remembered that Jane’s second envelope test was held on the night of August 23, in the 180th session, and that the test photo featured Jane on the waterfront at York Beach. I took the picture in the summer of 1964.

(Dr. Instream would like us to ask Seth why he stopped at York Beach, since he had never been there before. For our part we want to know whether Dr. Instream understands that he was in York Beach on the same night a photo of York Beach was used in a session, or whether he remembers reading about York Beach in previous sessions.

(It was a very hot and humid night but we held the session in our small back room. We opened the windows however. Jane said she felt a little nervous, embarking on the clairvoyant tests with Dr. Instream. She also felt anticipatory. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was quiet. She used many pauses.)

(Jane now told me she thought the “two people” referred to by Seth in the 2nd envelope test in the 180th session, were Dr. Instream and his wife Judy. See page 209. At the time, I had assumed that the two people referred to were Jane and me, since she was in the picture I took. We now know, of course, that Dr. Instream and his wife were in York Beach on the night of the 180th session.

The Instreams did not consider going to York Beach. Neither was their visit a complete coincidence, although it might seem so. All experiences have an electrical reality. Your experiences at York Beach had such a reality, and having met you, not Dr. Instream but his wife unconsciously picked up this connection, and responded to it.

(It will be interesting to learn from Dr. Instream, who was driving the car when he and his wife arrived at York Beach on August 23 for their overnight stay.)

Dr. Instream has within the hour spoken with several people outside of his family, or is with them now.

A stacked-up affair, as of irregular blocks, rather haphazardly arranged. A person, I believe a man, crosses below the terrace. (Pause.) Dr. Instream has also been thinking of a book, and perhaps of a specific page.

(Break at 10:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she did not feel particularly nervous while delivering the material on Dr. Instream. Her eyes had remained closed, her voice quiet. She had a vague memory of what she had said.
