“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our front room, and was free of interruptions or distractions. It was obvious that Jane was in a good mood before the session, and Seth reflected this. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed; her pace was quite fast, her voice definitely stronger and more active than usual. She began speaking actually at 8:58.)

(Briefly, Seth now burst out in a loud, deep and humorous voice.)

(Break at 9:15. Jane reported that she had been dissociated as usual for a first break. Her eyes had remained closed. Her voice had been stronger than usual, the pace indeed fast.

(Jane resumed in the same good voice, with her eyes closed and at a little slower pace, at 9:25. She spoke to John.)

(Jane’s voice boomed out briefly.)

([John:] “I have a question. A month ago, when I was talking to a female, a voice definitely said to me: ‘No, no.’ What’s the significance of that?”)

The voice was a male voice, was it not?

([John:] “Was it your voice? It happened so suddenly I didn’t have time to think. It was very unexpected.”)

You see you put me, as you very well know, in a strange position. For if I say it was my voice, then I was where I was not invited to be.

Well, I try to be gentlemanly. While I do not try to tune in indiscriminately with those with whom I am acquainted, nevertheless my range is wide, and at times I pick up information, and I am projected to places. And so it was, and it was my voice.

But then, Ruburt has heard my voice and did not recognize it. For I do not speak like this under normal circumstances. I did not mean to intrude.

(Break at 9:43. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. Her eyes had remained closed as far as I had noticed. Her voice had been good, her pace very fast toward the end of the delivery.

(John was still talking when Jane spoke up as Seth abruptly at 9:55. She was sitting down; she looked directly at John, her eyes wide open and very dark. Her voice was deep.)

(John hadn’t mentioned the episode about hearing the voice in the bar to us previously, and at break Jane and I asked him to say no more about it to us; we hoped to see if Seth could say more about the circumstances instead, should John make it back to the session.

(John did tell us the event happened about a month ago. This places it in time a couple of weeks before we saw John last time, during the Binghamton meeting affair. But then John hadn’t witnessed a session, and the voice episode had slipped his mind, two weeks ago. John heard the voice in a dancing establishment called The Elms, in Elmira Heights, which is a small town adjacent to Elmira. Jane and I have been there once, many months ago.

(It was now time for the 13th Dr. Instream clairvoyant test. Jane resumed speaking with her eyes closed and while sitting down. Her voice was good; her pace was much faster while giving this material than in any of the previous sessions. She used but a very few brief pauses. Resume at 10:01.)

(Jane had been speaking as rapidly as I could write. She still sat with her eyes closed, her hands raised to her face. Her voice was average in volume.)

(As break arrived we heard John Bradley returning up the stairs. He had succeeded in postponing his business appointment until tomorrow. We asked him to say no more about his voice experience yet, to see what else Seth could pick up on it. Instead the conversation turned to the fact that last week Jane was offered a part- time job as a dancer in a local supper club. Both of us like to dance, and Jane is an expert dancer. Now during break we amused ourselves discussing some of the humorous aspects of such a potential situation.

(Jane resumed at a good pace, her voice average, her eyes closed, at 10:26.)

(John said the conversation he was involved in was innocuous enough, at least on the surface, but that when he head the voice speak to him within he became more cautious. He has not seen the woman or been to The Elms since.)

(Break at 10:43. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had been closed for the most part, her voice had been good, her pace fast.

(John was now considering trying to locate the woman, to check up on Seth. He was joking, yet perhaps serious also. He was curious however, and was talking about whether he should really make the attempt when Jane resumed in a good voice, and with her eyes closed at 10:50.)

(Break at 11:07. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed for the most part. Her voice had been good, her pace quite fast. Surprisingly enough, in spite of all my writing my hand felt little fatigue.

(Jane resumed, with her eyes shut and in a good voice, at 11:22.)

(Break at 11:39. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had been closed, her voice good, her pace fast. See the Bill Driscoll material on page 41.
