“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the 198th session of last Wednesday, October 13, Seth stated that financial matters and our kitchen problem would be settled by Saturday, October 16. Jane did hear from the secretary of her publisher on Saturday; she does not regard the situation settled however since the publisher is out of town and could not reply personally.

(The carpenter was to see our landlord last week, and let us know about our kitchen enlargement by last Saturday. We have received no word about their meeting, although it is possible a decision was made Saturday.

(This evening’s session will see the first of three scheduled attempts for Seth to clairvoyantly tune in on our friends, Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who arrived in Puerto Rico on vacation yesterday, Sunday. We hope that at 9:30 this evening, on Wednesday October 20, and Monday October 25, Seth will be able to pick up something of the activities and/or surroundings of Bill and Peg. They plan to make their own notes at these same times for later comparison.

(The session was held in our back room. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her pace was a little slow in the beginning but soon picked up speed. Her voice was average.)

My fine sniffler. I do not know which matter to discuss first. Our Ruburt’s dreams, or your recent reaction to them, Joseph .

But he tries again, and in the dream he discovers another radio on your bookcase, Joseph , where our material is kept. The connection is obvious, for he knows that the Seth material comes from the same system as the voices. Here he reaches out to turn the radio off, and is stopped by a severe and sudden shock. The shock is his knowledge that our material would cease were he to shut off his abilities in such a manner. So the shock, which is one of realization, prevents him.

Ruburt gets the child who is squalling below in the lower apartment, and it is no help. But we shall try harder in our own way.

(We regarded, offhand, the data on my parents as probably distortive or associative, as the material on Jane’s aunt and uncle. We thought it possible that “a man and woman, not yourselves. Older than yourselves”, referred to the parents of Marie Colucci, the dentist’s wife. The Coluccis are personal friends of ours. On a visit to their home this summer we met Marie’s mother, in Elmira on a visit from New Jersey. Marie had made the trip to New Jersey, to get her mother, by train.

(Jane was sure “death of a dog” referred to the last dental appointment she had had previous to May 5,1965. This would be 3 years ago; Jane said she recalled this vividly because our dog, Mischa, died within two days or so of that long-ago appointment. The appointment itself had also been a painful one.

(Neither of us understood the reference to an automobile, particularly. During break I mentioned that I hoped Seth would take a few minutes to verify our interpretations of his data, or to correct us, before he closed the session.

We will now end our session. I hope to finish the material concerning Ruburt’s dream, however. I would give it now, but I imagine that you are weary.

Our own test material was only slightly distorted, and quite legitimate.

Now, I could continue along these lines for quite some time, and I am perfectly willing to do so, for your edification rather than my own. If you prefer that we do this while it is fresh in our minds, then take a break and we shall continue. And if not, do not ask me leading questions, and we shall end the session. I am rather closely allied with you both this evening.
