“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On Saturday January 8 Jane and I received a letter from Dr. Instream, asking that Seth do his best to give data on but one object during tests. Dr. Instream also mentioned his difficulty in attempting to repeat an experiment with ESP cards, involving odds of a million-and-a-half to one. Jane and I mentioned that we would like Seth to say something on both points in tonight’s session.

(Over the weekend Bill and Peggy Gallagher agreed to try mutual concentration upon a single object in their home at session times. They would keep a record of the chosen objects for a month, without telling us what they were, then we would compare the list with Seth’s data after the experiment ended. We have thought of trying this before.

(We had some reservations however about trying it now, but decided to see what Seth would say. We didn’t want to give rise to a feeling of pressure on Jane during sessions, and wondered whether it was wise to try three regular tests. We want room for other material also. For this reason we had let the candle-flame tests go for the moment, even though they appear promising.

(Ann Diebler has heard Seth speak twice during unscheduled sessions, and had read some of the early material. See the notes for the 206th and the 214th sessions.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth dealt with the expanding universe theory in sessions 42-45, saying among other things that our physical universe is not expanding as is currently thought; he had much to say on the distortive data furnished us by our instruments.)

(Seth has referred to the ability of suggestion to change experience which has already passed. See the 187th and 202nd sessions.)

(“Good night, Seth.”
