“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I have yet to prepare Seth’s material on the Puerto Rico experiments, for insertion into the record. We have now decided to present Seth’s hits and near misses only, plus Seth’s data on the Washington experiment, in one of the sessions falling due the week after this.

(“You will meet a woman dressed in green... A clock that doesn’t keep proper time... There are three men in particular with whom you will be associated... You will meet a man you do not like... You will have a grand view of an occasion... A turnoff that does not bring you where you want to go... An unscheduled social engagement, not in a private home but a public place... The number 5 and the number 321... Another room besides the one that has been planned.”)

(The 20th envelope test was held during this session. See the tracing on page 107. For the test object I used part of one of the paper napkins Jane and I were given when we varied our routine prior to the 213th session, and visited a local discotheque for a beer. See the notes on this on page 102. The results of tonight’s test were very interesting. While we were in the discotheque ultraviolet lights were turned on when the entertainment began; this means the test object was viewed by us in this unusual light, and this fact shows in tonight’s test data.

(Tonight’s session was held in our back room, and was a quiet one. Jane did not smoke while speaking. As usual she sat down; her eyes remained closed for the entire session. Her rate of speaking was good from the start, her voice quiet.)

Now, I told you that I would discuss two dreams in which you were interested. However, since we are going to devote some time to our cat lover, in Washington, I will not begin the discussion of those dreams now. I could not do them justice in a short period, and would like to devote most of one session to them; and so we shall very shortly. Instead let us speak briefly on time and action.

For the actions are spontaneous basically, again, and the effects exist so swiftly that it is impossible to say that one occurs before or after the other, or causes another. This could be likened to some gigantic, spontaneous motion that happens very swiftly. When you viewed such a gigantic motion with a slow camera, then you would get the effect that you receive within your system, of a continuous time. Where actually perhaps a sudden explosion had taken place, you would see a slow progression of light and motion.

One small note here.

Your physicists know that time does not exist, basically, as a series of moments, one following the other. Therefore my earlier remark that physical reality was not dependent upon time as a series of moments should be obvious. Physical reality is dependent upon your sensual perception of action, and that is all.

A fabric. He seems to be thinking of a fabric that is nubby. (Pause.) Three late arrivals. One of these someone he has been waiting for, or hoped would arrive. A male of middle age, with a mustache. (Pause at 10:09.)

Two of the late arrivals are men, and one is a woman.

(The design on the napkin covers one quarter of the surface area, and it was this quarter which was “turned up” to us when the waitress placed the folded napkins on the table before us. There was of course no photo involved, or a house or any connection with my parents, or the past.

(There were two female dancers at the discotheque, and Jane felt that “a connection with another person” referred to one of these, although she couldn’t say why. We did not know either of them. One was brunette, one was blonde. Both of us liked the brunette the best, for whatever reason, and certainly she was the better dancer of the two.

The important event had to do with some kind of a family nature, and involved one of the two dancers, and their parents, or the parents of whichever girl was involved. I believe the event concerned the other dancer, the blonde.
