“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the unscheduled 203rd session of October 28, with the Gallaghers as witnesses, Seth gave some information having to do with the Incas reaching Florida and building small settlements. Whether this is established historically Jane and I do not know. We would merely like to note here the appearance of an article in the New York Times for December 5,1965. This had to do with a team of anthropologists launching a four-year study to assess the culture of a wandering tribe of Indians in South Florida. The Indians came from Central or South America. Some remains have been found. The article did not say these Indians were Inca. Interestingly enough, one of the three anthropologists heading the expedition is Dr. John M. Lonyear 3d, of Colgate. Serious digging begins next month.

(The 22nd envelope test was held this evening. The test object was a ball-point pen drawing of a dog; my four-year-old nephew made it while my brother Bill’s family and Jane and I visited my parents last Sunday. I thought David’s drawing good for one his age, and added notes of my own. I intended to file it for the future, but today decided it would make a good test subject. Jane had not seen it. The drawing is on paper the weight of this page. A drawing on the back doesn’t apply here. I sealed it in the usual double envelopes, between two pieces of Bristol.

(The book mentioned by Seth is one on ESP by Harold Sherman.

Now. Briefly I would like to return to your dreams, the same ones that we began to interpret the other evening.

The swing represented your feeling that after all Ruburt was relatively free, on the one hand, from the problem. Therefore you saw him as swinging free. This represented part of your feelings. The other part was represented by your concern for him, for although he was not as directly affected as you, he would still be involved.

(Jane’s eyes had again been opening and closing rather often. The candle flame, now, attained its highest point of the evening; it was well over an estimated two inches in height, rising up to such a height that a thin trail of black smoke escaped from it. Since the windows were still closed and there were no drafts, I could not account for the flame’s height. The candle is a large one, with a diameter of at least two inches and with very little taper. As before it sat out of the reach of Jane’s breath, and although it was closer to me I took care to keep my head averted so that my own breath could not influence it. Perhaps temperature changes within the candle could influence it after it has burned for a while, although it felt no warmer to me.)

He will be born in a warm climate. You both started out from a cold one, hence the snow. Much of this is indeed personal, but is involved here. I would like to make it plain that your mother literally prods your father enough to keep him from withdrawing completely, and he has much to thank her for regardless of their differences.

(See the tracing of the test object on page 131. During last Sunday there was a family gathering at my parents’ home in nearby Sayre, PA. There were twelve people in all: My parents, Jane and I, my brother Loren, his wife and son, and my brother Bill and his wife, and their two daughters and one son. Bill’s son is named David, he is four years old, and it is he who drew the test object, with a black ball-point pen on white paper.

(Finally, “Something missing, and someone who could not come,” is also interesting. As soon as the test was over, and I believe before she knew what the test object was, Jane told me that she believed “Something” and “someone” referred to the same thing. Only one member of the family was missing at the gathering Sunday, and this was my brother Loren’s daughter Linda, who was at work in Scranton, PA. It was too far away for her to make the trip up to Sayre, and back, in one day.
