“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The label was brittle and quite brown with age, and broke apart when removed. There was nothing on its reverse side. I thought such an old object might have some interesting impressions attached to it. The bureau it came from is an old- fashioned one that had sat in the garage of “our” apartment house for some years. Our landlord gave it to us, and we fixed it up and repainted it.

(It will be remembered that in the 194th session Seth promised to discuss in the 195th session our cat’s rather frequent if brief bouts of illness. Since this was not done however, I mentioned it to Jane before this evening’s session. Jane said she had also thought of it. To avoid interruptions we used the back room, although Jane prefers the larger front room. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was average in strength, her pace rather fast although interspersed with pauses.)

I will continue with this later in the session. Now I suggest your break, so that we can keep our appointment with Dr. Instream.

(Jane told me she was nervous, however, when it came to our own envelope test. She did not think I had a test for her. She said it was hard to say exactly when she became nervous, but that it was probably as I handed her the test envelope.

(Seth’s impressions do appear to be far-ranging, in connection with the old bureau and its label. Jane and I can make some connection with some of the material, but in the light of what follows we decided to wait. We will also try to verify some of the impressions through our landlord, Jimmy Spaziani. We do not know how much he can help, since he has owned our apartment house but a few years.

Ruburt picked up the Florida connection, and this led him to think of his photograph. I always distinguish between our lines of thought when this happens. We will perhaps discuss this sort of test at our next session.

(Bill said that he would try to think strongly of the ad. He left here at approximately 10 PM and returned about 10:35. Rob, Peg, and I had all written down our impressions, and none of us knew what the others had written. None of Peg’s were correct. Many of mine, about 11 impressions, were correct, and some of Rob’s.

(Correct. Bill spoke about the “sunny climes” in particular in contrast to our autumn weather, as he intends to go to Puerto Rico for his vacation and the discussion had to do with the differences in weather this time of year.

(While Bill Gallagher was putting on his hat and coat at 10 PM tonight, preparatory to leaving our apartment for the bus terminal, I wrote down two impressions of headlines. I was not in a trance state. Bill did not see these until he returned at 10:35 PM; he told me both of them were incorrect.
