“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before tonight’s session Jane and I were discussing ways and means of taking her blood pressure, her weight and various other measurements of a physiological nature before, during and after sessions. Seth referred to this in the last session briefly. We know several doctors on a social basis, but for various reasons hesitate to ask one of them to perform these duties; we would also like to repeat these studies regularly, and could hardly expect a medical man to be available in this respect.

(Another project we would like to explore is photographing Jane during sessions. I could handle this with a little practice. We talked of illustrating Jane’s book on the Seth material, which she is now writing.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Break at 10:24. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. Her eyes had remained closed. Her pace on our own test had been faster than on the Dr. Instream material.

(We did not press Seth for an item-by-item interpretation of the rest of the impressions. I had prepared this test envelope for last Wednesday’s session but did not use it then; the session was witnessed by the Gallaghers and the test was shoved aside by other developments, notably the impromptu discussion between Seth, Bill and Peg. We ate during the course of the evening, but do not know whether this would be a “supper engagement, with two others beside Ruburt.”

His confidence will then be maintained through the averages of our successes, which all in all will be quite good. Isolated tests do not work well, for they upset what he considers the normal circumstances of our sessions. When given they should follow our Dr. Instream material.

(“Good night, Seth.”
