“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I might also add that we recently learned of other people hearing Seth’s strong voice during the unscheduled 190th session. This was the session witnessed by John Bradley. It will be remembered that a young couple from next door heard Seth, and came over to see if anything was wrong. A couple of days ago Jane and I learned that other people in our apartment house heard the voice, and were quite curious.

Now I pick up the word whiskey, as applying to a later period, and another circumstance involving a man and a late hour, and a dwelling place with a front door precisely in the middle of a front room, and a porch that is shadowed, and back bedrooms with children. But they are not all asleep, and one overhears an argument.

(Lorraine had three children then, and they did sleep in back bedrooms of the apartment house in Asheville, NC, she said. As to a front door precisely in the center of a front room, Lorraine was not sure. She said this could be deceptive. If one looked at the front of the house from the outside, he would see a single door in front, in the center of the house; but this was a door opening into a hallway, with apartments opening off on either side, and thus would not be in the middle of a front room.

With all due respects to Ruburt, he was right in one respect and wrong in another. The porch to the front was shadowed. He correctly picked up the leaf images; however it was not the first floor. The door was in the center. However, my viewpoint is not precise enough perhaps, but I have the picture of a door precisely centered, leading outward. And I am working here despite the unwitting blocks that are erected. I see something yellow and something rose; and voices rising, and something broken. This is on my part an emotional breakage.

(Lorraine thought the date of the incident she had in mind could be interpreted as early in April, probably in 1944, in Asheville, NC. It would, she said, be in the springtime however, rather than in winter or autumn. She said her family had lived on the second floor rather than the first, and agreed with Seth’s description, now, of the placement of the front, or porch, door. Seth mentioned “something yellow and something rose.” Lorraine told us the walls of the apartment were painted yellow, and that the furniture was of the old-fashioned kind with large rose decorations.
