“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I planned no envelope test for this session. Not because of the poor results of the last test in the 194th session, but to vary the steady test diet. I thought Jane might come to feel under pressure without a break occasionally. I expected the data on Dr. Instream to come through as usual, however.

Now. Ruburt was upset because of the failure of our last test. Nevertheless, if you have a test for us this evening then we shall do what we can, since it is not good particularly for him to refrain through fear. The tests in the overall will take care of themselves in any case. We shall have too many successes to worry. Therefore, if you have a test for us we shall see what we can do.

Then we will thank you for your consideration of Ruburt. The fact that he was willing enough to allow me to request a test is however a point in our favor.

(This in itself would be quite unusual, since she had also witnessed the 193rd, last week; never before had Lorraine witnessed sessions so close together by far. I then had the accompanying thought that when I told Seth I had no envelope test, he would suggest that he try something else.)
