“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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?

(The Gallaghers witnessed the unscheduled session, the 182nd. Lorraine knows them superficially, having witnessed a few sessions with them. We find no reference to either Lorraine or York Beach in the 182nd session. It happens that this session was reconstructed from memory; since it was unscheduled I had not been prepared to take formal notes. Jane and I did our best, recalling it.

(Our encountering the Gallaghers last Saturday evening led to the strange unscheduled 192nd session, incidentally. In that session Bill Gallagher asked Seth about the possibility of locating artifacts in the waters of Seneca Lake. Describing the location of a certain cove, and underwater cave, Seth used as a starting point a gasoline station and the letters M, A, and C. Seth told us these could be part of the name Mack, or were involved with a Mack truck; he was not sure.

(The session was held in our large front room. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was a bit stronger than usual, her pace faster. Much of the time she sat leaning forward with her head down somewhat. Her glasses were on when she began speaking, actually at 8:58, but she soon removed them.)

(Break at 9:16. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first break. Her eyes remained closed. Her pace was good, her voice a little stronger than usual, and with a trace of her brogue. Lorraine was also taking shorthand notes.

(Break at 9:44. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes remained closed. Her voice continued to display its peculiar brogue occasionally. Her pace had been good.

(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.

(When Jane resumed, still seated and with her eyes closed, her pace was somewhat faster than it had been in previous tests. She used some pauses however, and I will indicate a few of them along with a couple of strategic times. She sat quietly, with her head tipped back as she spoke. Resume at 10:05.)

There is an impression of an incident that occurred, of interest to Dr. Instream, in the middle of this week, possibly around Wednesday, that was unpleasant. (Pause.) Involving someone else, but with some connection to Dr. Instream.

(It was 10:12. I had to leave my desk to hand Jane the test envelope. She took it without opening her eyes.)

(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.

(End at 10:35. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes remained closed. Marleno is of course Lorraine Shafer’s entity name.

(Designs are repeated in the label, but no blocks appear. The journey by automobile can refer to our driving home Saturday evening. There is an 1840 date on the label, but not 1965. I was of course involved with the test object, and my initials are R.B., but this can apply to any test object. We don’t know which “another” Seth refers to. The label bears parallel oval lines which can suggest a road or a path.
