“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Tonight’s session began at 9:50 PM. After supper this evening Jane expressed a desire to vary the routine, although she did not want to skip the session. On impulse I invited her out for a beer. There were go-go girls at the neighborhood tavern we went to, and both of us enjoyed the break in routine. Jane, very amused, commented every so often that she received little “messages” from a certain party, expressing approval of our actions, and merely suggesting that we do get to the session at least a few minutes before the Instream material was due.

(As mentioned by Seth in the last session, I have begun keeping a record of outside weather data from our television weather channel. This includes humidity, barometric pressure, etc., as detailed on page 97. This record is for session nights only; I do not know whether it is necessary to insert the data into each session. When we begin our dream experiments with the recorder, we will also keep a daily weather record, again as suggested by Seth.

(The session was held in our front room. With the windows closed traffic noise was not a problem. Jane began speaking while sitting down, in an average voice and at a good pace from the beginning. Jane’s eyes opened wide immediately after Seth’s greeting, which is most unusual. They were very dark. Seth/Jane was quite pleased and amused, and spoke with a smile. Jane was smoking.)

You probably also came to this conclusion by yourselves, and while I would not make the habit of beginning our sessions later than usual, occasionally such tardiness is more than justified. The use of the different room is also beneficial, to vary the routine.

We will of course shortly give our Dr. Instream material, and so I shall not become involved in any complicated matters beforehand. You have both been doing very well however, and shortly we shall be having an anniversary of sorts, I believe.

(Our first regular session was held on December 2,1963.)

I am going to give you a brief break, and then we shall meet with our Dr. Instream; and I shall afterwards discuss this matter somewhat further.

(See the tracing of the test object on page 101. All in all the envelope test results were much superior to the previous two tests, and Jane was pleased. “A connection with water” can be our Elmira, New York address, 458 W. Water Street, or that both Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida, are on the ocean.

I will now close our session, with my fondest good wishes to you both, and I believe that we have set Ruburt back on a fairly steady line.
