“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley witnessed the last session. In it Seth mentioned developments to come within John’s family, involving his mother particularly. Jane also felt she blocked some of this data. The next day, yesterday, Jane had a most unusual experience for her. It involved a peculiar heavy sense of premonition of some kind, as of us personally, or our families, but might be related to John’s family. We have not seen him since Monday, and probably will not for at least two weeks. The sense of premonition lasted for about three hours with Jane, then lifted. She has the experience written up elsewhere.

The intellect is highly important. It has little to do however with the framework within which our tests take place. The idea of a game will indeed work more to our advantage, for this is not an intellectual exercise. The intellect can be used most handily in tabulating our results, but it will not help us to get our results, unless it is utilized as a means toward discovering how best to harness the emotions for communication purposes.

(Break at 9:21. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first break. She had been smoking when she began this evening, and put out her cigarette without any trouble as she continued to speak. She also sipped wine. I assume her eyes were at least slitted open for her to perform these tasks, but if so I could not tell. Her voice was stronger than usual, her pace quite slow by break time.

At least a significant object of some sort. It need not belong to you, but it should have some meaning for you, to get the best results. Keep the object in mind, but do not concentrate upon it so intensely that you block out your own emotional, (underlined) vitality.

It is an experiment concerning the recorder, somewhat along the lines which Ruburt had planned, but with certain innovations. There is no need to try the experiment night after night in succession, however. Three nights out of a week for a certain number of weeks should be sufficient.

He has a white shirt on. The collar seems to be open, and the sleeves rumpled somehow toward the cuffs in a noticeable fashion. Not completely rolled up for example, but perhaps partially.

I would continue it, for there is some material that I am anxious to give you, but our last session was a long one.

(End at 10:29. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said Seth could have cheerfully gone on, but she didn’t encourage it.
