“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 211

(No envelope test was held during the session.

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were witnesses to the session. As usual the presence of witnesses fired Seth up. His delivery was more active and quite fast from the beginning. Jane’s eyes however remained closed. For much of the session she sat on the edge of her chair, leaning forward with her hands clasped together. She began at 8:58.)

(See the 206th session.)

Incidentally, joking aside, some time in the future it would not be a bad idea, if it ever could be arranged, to take Ruburt’s blood pressure before, during, and after sessions; also his weight.

You could perhaps learn something from such innocent tests as these. You see, theoretically, you could find out how much I weighed, or if I had physical weight indeed, could you not? Or if Ruburt weighed less during sessions, then you would have a dilemma.

(Our session was being held in our front room. Up until now none of us had noticed the traffic noise past the front of the house; but now that a test was to come I became conscious of it. Later Jane, Bill and Peggy concurred.

Now that our Instream material has been taken care of, we can do whatever you like, within reason of course. We can end our session, I can continue with the material that I have been giving you, or I will be glad to answer questions.

([Bill G:] “What significance do you attach to the fact that you seem to be right-handed, but left-handed in sessions?”)

I’m glad to see you have had a good think session. Now. If you are thinking in terms of secondary personalities, you can prove nothing one way or another. A secondary personality could indeed use gestures that are different (with humor). Either way, this would be no proof as to my independent nature. I am glad to see that it has been bothering you.

(See the 63rd and 88th sessions in Volumes 2 and 3 respectively—although Seth has dealt with this problem often before and after these sessions.

(The most obvious instance of a change in Jane’s features occurred in the 68th session, and was witnessed by Bill Macdonnel and myself in full light. This was very definite and easily seen. See Volume 1.)

(Philip is John Bradley’s entity name. See the 204th session.

(End at 10:40. Although Seth indicated a break this turned out to be the end of the session. Jane had been dissociated as usual, and her eyes had remained closed. Her pace had been quite fast at times, and as stated before I occasionally skipped a word in her delivery, or shortened a phrase, etc., without altering any meanings.
