“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At supper time this evening I voiced my opinion of the tactics of Jane’s publisher, Frederick Fell, in no uncertain terms, with the rather obvious implication that Seth could comment upon the situation should he care to.

(At 8 PM Tuesday, Jane wrote down 13 impressions, all dealing with John Bradley’s supposed activities. She was ironing at the time, and pleasant music was on the radio. She wrote the impressions in an offhand manner, she said, without straining; she had no idea at the time as to whether any of them were correct. John arrived from Binghamton perhaps three quarters of an hour later. Going over the list with us in the course of the evening, he confirmed 10 of Jane’s impressions as correct. Some of them were quite striking.

In the dream however I was a young man with olive skin, from a previous existence. That is, it was myself in a previous existence. There were the other men whose voices were also heard in the first dream. This time however the intended vote of confidence was given emotionally, through smiling gestures and so forth.

(It was now time for the second clairvoyant test with the Gallaghers in Puerto Rico. Jane began speaking while seated and with her eyes closed. Her voice was now quiet, and she used many brief pauses. Resume at 9:30.)

I think the car is a Buick. (Pause at 10:05.) He makes an evening visit to his office, and perhaps has coffee in the cafeteria. He speaks to a man in the hall outside the cafeteria. There is some confusion in his mind as to whether or not he can be with us in time, and his thoughts dwell on the matter.

They formed the outer framework for the second dream. At the same time the dream generated sufficient energy to lift Ruburt and his moods from a slavery to physical events. That is, the dream allowed his native good spirits to return in force, and to operate in a healthy fashion regardless of physical events.

(This surprised me. Seth here referred to two rather brief but vivid and colorful dreams I had written down just before tonight’s session began. Jane came back to the studio just as I finished. I told her I was noting a couple of dreams down, but did not describe them to her since time was getting short.

(During our daily life we do not take the time to describe in detail each dream we have to the other, unless obvious connections arise in future events, or the dream happens to be unusually vivid in some way. My two short dreams mentioned above were a little more vivid than usual, but otherwise not unusual, I thought. I now tried to lead Seth on.

(At the same time Jane did something she has seldom done since she began speaking while sitting down. Her cigarettes lay on a bookcase out of her reach. Her eyes opened very slightly; she got up, reached the cigarettes, lit one and sat back down.)

(Dream # 2; Tuesday night, October 19: In very bright and vivid color. Had to do with our Ford station wagon, which is blue. In a big old garage with Jane, I was ready to drive the car away, but then seemed to look up at it on a hoist. I saw that the radiator was pulled away from the rest of the motor, that hoses and other connections dangled, and that the oil and water had drained away. I realized the car hadn’t been used in a long time.

(End at 11:01. Jane was dissociated as usual. I believe her eyes were closed most of the time. Jane said she didn’t know, that during the session she wasn’t concerned one way or the other.
