“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It will be remembered that in the unscheduled 184th session Seth said that Cosmopolitan Magazine would be interested in an excerpt from Jane’s ESP book, but that nothing would happen right away. Jane sent them a chapter on dreams, with suggestions for reworking it into an article. The material was returned today with a plain rejection slip. Seth had stated that Cosmo would return the material, but with a letter expressing interest.

(Since we wonder if clairvoyant data involving Dr. Instream will be a regular feature of the sessions from now on, we mentioned this before the session. We also wondered what Seth would have to say about the Cosmopolitan affair, and last night’s unscheduled session, witnessed by John Bradley.

(The session was held in our back room. Just before it began Jane admitted, again, to a slight nervousness at the projected clairvoyant experiments involving Dr. Instream. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was quiet, in contrast to last night’s noisy unscheduled session. Her pace was slow, with many pauses. It was another hot and humid night.)

I feel that I should explain myself to some degree, concerning the infrequent unscheduled sessions that occur, and some of the reasons behind the voice effects, which indeed we do keep under control most of the time.

The unscheduled session is beneficial in that it gives Ruburt practice. The voice effects carry him along so that he gives no attention, or very little attention, to what I am saying, and therefore we usually get a good reception in terms of clear communication.

(The loud voice during the unscheduled session last night did embarrass me at times.
