“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There will be others if you remain with the company, for much of your superior’s income is dependent upon your own, and he has only at the most two other salesman in his territory which are lucrative for him. One is a short man, already beginning to bald. And your superior himself worries about his own position.

(To avoid too many notes at break, I can add some comments as the session progresses. At next break, John confirmed Seth’s statement that his superior was worried about his job. John also agreed with Seth that only two other salesman are selling well in the division. The short man who is already beginning to bald, John knows as Bill Driscoll; John told us he is a very good salesman and the only one in the division fitting that description. Driscoll is not old, John said, merely balding prematurely.

My comments made you wonder, as they were meant to. There is also a man in the background here, involved with the woman, and a legal paper.

(At break John confirmed that there was a child in the woman’s background, and a legal paper. He heard both mentioned in a general way during his conversation with the woman, and cannot recall more details at the moment. He had not told us this consciously. John said another man was with the woman when he talked to her, and that actually he spent as much time talking with her male companion as he did the woman. John was unable to say whether, in his opinion, the male companion is the man referred to by Seth. John had not told us before this that the woman had had a male companion.

Now the man involved has something to do with mechanics. I am not sure of the age. Between, I should say, 27 and 37, though this is not precise, I know. I have the feeling she may be older.

(Note by John Bradley, June 8,1966: “Companion at bar with woman was a car salesman and about 24-26 years old. He is not the man involved with the woman. This man is 38-39 years old.”)

([John:] “Can you tell me about the other man in my division who’s selling well, besides Bill Driscoll?”)

An older man than the one I described.

Give us a moment. Bigger than the man I described, with more hair, though he is older. I believe he wears glasses.

With more hair, though he is older. One of the men I believe is precisely 37. The second man occasionally wears glasses. His hair is a shade of brown, though not a definite well-defined color.

Which man?

(John identified the second man described by Seth as a Mr. Dudley, and said that like Bill Driscoll, Dudley is a good salesman. Dudley has brown nondescript hair, is older than Driscoll but not bigger, and plays tennis and handball. Dudley used to play golf, John said, hence Seth’s gesturing as though acting out a sport which required some kind of hitting or swinging instrument.
