“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.

The protoplasm is not entirely physical, however, but in a basic manner is a meeting ground between physical matter and inner vitality. Therefore the characteristic ways used by any given personality, in connection with his or her physical image, will also be used in the construction of dream images.

(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.

Specifically two men. (Pause.) A chair with a blue seat, or seat cover. (Pause.) The men, I believe, were with him earlier rather than at this moment. I believe that he is now standing on the small terrace of his apartment, and is wearing slippers or a slipperlike shoe.

(Pause, at 10:14.) It is possible that these men are inside, however. One of the men rather formally dressed. There is something in the water in the distance, which catches his eye, and upon which he may be concentrating. (Pause.)

A passage which has been in his mind. I have an impression of the number 218. I do not know to what it refers. A page number, an address, or simply the digits.
