“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He can use it, use the knowledge obtained therein, learn from its mistakes, and advance. But this individual as seen by Priestley at this particular point is somewhat limited, still, by this time one. Time one is available to him, though not necessarily as a series of moments, one after another. From this he is free, but he is still somewhat bound by those events, though he may learn from them. According to Priestley, while the individual therefore is free from successive moments, he still does not have easily available, at fingertips so to speak, any information or realizations from time three. I am using Priestley’s terms here.

(“The mention of a time” is easily accounted for in the same letter. In it my mother discusses the visit Jane and I were due to make to my parents on Sunday, December 5th. The date was not mentioned, just the word Sunday. My mother then canceled this visit of ours by telephone, and Jane and I then journeyed to visit my parents in Sayre, PA, on the following Sunday, December 12. It was on this visit that I obtained the test object used in the last session, the 217th.

(The Gallaghers went over Seth’s material with us orally a day or two after returning from vacation; this was on the evening of the unscheduled session for Thursday, October 28, and I had time for but a few quick written notes. We obtained this written account from them later, and in the course of checking data with them several times Jane and I soon realized much effort could be saved by getting a written account as soon as possible after any such experiment.

(She returned to Elmira on December 9 and a written question-and-answer session was held on December 10. Jane and I made an effort to obtain detailed answers to Seth’s statements, and Peggy cooperated in excellent fashion. The interview lasted about two hours. Once again, we stressed that we did not want to put words into her mouth concerning Seth’s material, and she agrees that we did not.
