“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.

We will try here to give you an example. Take for example then the house in which Ruburt spent his childhood. Now as you know, that was never one definite unchanging object. That house was a conglomeration of atoms and molecules, perceived generally as a house, but perceived specifically by everyone who saw it as a slightly different house. For each observer quite literally created from his own subconscious energy an approximation of a house, a general shape then perceived as a house, and further embellished by personal judgments.

Give us a moment. It may be a long one.

Also the number six. Six of a group. (Another 40-second pause.) That is a particular group. A male student. (A one-minute pause.)

Now. I suggest that the experiments with our Jesuit and cat lover wait for a while yet, though the idea is a sound one, and we shall conduct our experiments later. You can tell them when you see them.

A schedule of events. A connection with several people, two male and one female in particular. The color blue, and a note or letter.

(Jane said she had rather strong images visually of the data; twice she saw her white coat quite strongly. In the test she was unable to tell when she got off on the track of personal associations; somehow the fine discrimination was lacking. Jane said that by the time she approached break she knew the test had been a poor one. But she also knew the test was poor, something she wouldn’t have been able to distinguish not too long ago. She could, she said, feel herself getting involved with what she knew were incorrect images.
