“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(During break Lorraine asked if we still conducted envelope tests. When we said yes, she told us she had brought a test envelope with her. Moreover, it was one I had given her myself when she witnessed the 172nd session of July 26,1965. Handing her the two envelopes and the two pieces of Bristol, I had asked her to pick a test object, seal it up, and give it to me the next time we saw her, without telling me what the test object was. She had picked the test object last August, then mislaid the envelope and forgotten it; in addition I hadn’t asked her for it.

(Lorraine handed me her envelope while Jane was out of the room; thus Jane did not see it before the test. It was tightly sealed. I did not mention to either Jane or Lorraine whether I had planned a test for tonight. Lorraine did not tell me the contents of her envelope. Jane didn’t comment on it and I let the matter rest.

Now, give me a moment, please. (Pause.)

Now do you have a test for me, Joseph?

(Since the test object was picked by someone other than me, I had thought that some of Seth’s connections might be difficult to trace, and it appears to be the case here. Since the part of the data we can judge is pretty much on the ball, we think it reasonable to assume that the rest of Seth’s data may be equally good. Jane was pleased by the test.

My information will indeed be specific enough, but there are certain human interrelationships that he will more precisely perceive, for they have no particular meaning for me.

(I thought the information clear enough, and quite important. Not wanting Seth to continue in this fashion because of the hour, I picked another question. Sitting across the table from me, Jane appeared ready to continue beyond closing time.

(Jane, her eyes open, smiled at me quite deliberately.)

I did not know that you would tempt me with such a question at the end of a session; and you have no one but yourself to blame, if the session continues longer than you would have it.
