“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s eyes now opened to some degree as she lit a cigarette. Her eyes now alternated often between opening and closing. Her pace was fast. She had finished the Priestley book just before supper, and said she hadn’t had time to think it over; but someone had been thinking it over.)

(It was 10:15. Jane took the usual double envelope from me without opening her eyes. Reading over the last session, she had been surprised to learn that she had held the test envelope to her forehead for a few minutes, since she didn’t remember doing this. Now, she once again pressed the test envelope to her forehead, this time more deliberately, and with both hands. She continued to hold it there. Her eyes were closed, her voice very quiet. This is the 23rd envelope test.)

(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.

(The snorkeling device enables the diver to breath through a tube to the surface while remaining underwater. Bill said the boat reference above, reminds him of the peculiar look thinks appear to have on the surface of the water when seen from below. Several times while snorkeling he was close to coral cliffs or outcroppings rising above him. Surf breaking over his head appeared to have a “white sideways movement.” It had a more or less solid look, like the white ceiling of a room.)

I looked over and down at a pool, and felt that beyond this either the ocean or a large body of water was visible. If the ocean, perhaps part of a bay with shores visible?

First I achieved a partial projection of some kind, and thought I might complete it but didn’t. Strong thrilling sensations, feelings of being swept away. Odd movements of some sort. I could feel the blanket over me and my pillow at neck move in odd fashion as if my physical body was making unaccustomed movements, but thought I was motionless. Very strong momentary feelings of being swept away, though these are poor words to describe this. Extreme lightness, weightlessness.

(The seminar remained in the same building on Tuesday. But on Wednesday, Peggy was in a group taken by bus to Camp Kilmer, which has been taken over by the OEO. Camp Kilmer lies northeast of Washington.)

A particular man with a camera slung over his shoulder, who gets our friend’s attention.

(Peggy remembers one cameraman, out of several present, who carried his camera slung on a strap over his shoulder.)

(At first Peggy saw no connection here. Then she remembered that when she arrived in Newark, NJ from Elmira, she transferred to Kennedy Airport on Long Island by helicopter. During the trip, at an altitude of no more than 600 feet, she thus flew over many of the docks, piers and shipyards lining the Brooklyn waterfront. She thought at the time that Bill would have enjoyed the sight, since he likes ships. The helicopter flight traveled past the Statue of Liberty.)
