“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Lorraine Shafer witnessed tonight’s session. We hadn’t seen her for several weeks. Lorraine now told us that she too had been in York Beach, ME, during the same week that Dr. Instream had been there. Dr. Instream had stayed overnight in York Beach on Monday, August 23; Lorraine had visited the town on Saturday afternoon, August 28.

(It will be remembered that our 2nd envelope test, held during the 180th session, was held on August 23, and that it featured a photograph of Jane at York Beach. Now checking our records, we saw that an unscheduled session was held on August 28. Can this be coincidence?

(Jane now took a long pause.)

Now. Any form, even an imaginary form, exists in some dimension as a form.

I am not speaking, now, of some nebulous indirect fashion. A man is affected by the dreams of his fellows in quite definite, realistic and practical ways. He is affected by them both chemically and electromagnetically, and he in turn also affects others in the same manner.

(Up until now, although the session was being held in our front room, none of us had given a thought to traffic noise. It is interesting to note that when Jane resumed with the Dr. Instream material, we immediately became conscious of the traffic noise. I was of course aware of my own irritation; Jane concurred at the end of the session.

We will now see what we can do. Give us a moment.

As to now, I see him in connection with a railing, of steel or wood. A letter of interest to him that arrived yesterday or today, from a place with high grasses. (Pause.)

(As before, Jane’s “moment” was actually very brief, much shorter than many of her routine pauses. It was now that I was quite conscious of traffic noise. Jane’s voice remained quiet.)

(Break at 10:20. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. She now said the traffic bothered her also. She was not nervous in giving the data on Dr. Instream, or on our own test object. Suffice it to note here that this was Jane’s third test before witnesses. An analysis of the test follows the end of the session.

We will now end our session, since we have indeed kept you busy of late.

(Except now. Seth/Jane’s voice suddenly climbed a great deal in volume, very briefly, before subsiding.)
