“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane now smiled. Her eyes, very dark, opened briefly. She stared at me from across the table.)

(Another smile from Jane as she stared at me. I didn’t know what Seth was referring to so I began to guess.

(Jane smiled broadly and nodded her head. She was much amused. She pointed at me, her eyes wide open.)

(Jane and I walked to a nearby station for gasoline but the car still wouldn’t start; consequently the garage had to tow the car in for repairs. Seth’s information on the oil warning light is also apparently correct, for when the garage checked the oil level it was quite low. I usually make a point of watching this closely, and it is interesting to speculate as to how I failed to see the warning light go on, since it is situated on the dash in front of me. I had the oil checked immediately after I became aware that the warning light was on. Nor had Jane noticed it on.

(Jane now told me that while speaking last time, she received a message from Seth to the effect that from now on she wasn’t to smoke during tests, because of the distraction involved. She didn’t have to pause while giving the regular material to get this message, but seemed to receive it on another level simultaneously with the material she gave voice to. She had been smoking so far during the session.

(Jane looked at me now.)

I believe this change for the better, or this possibility of change, is due to an upspurt on the part of the student, a mood change that can be taken advantage of. There seems to be some connection, to me, at any rate, between the blue chair and this student. (Pause.)

(As usual Jane took the sealed double envelope from me without opening her eyes. Her head was tipped down; such was its position that when she held the envelope up, as she has been doing lately, she pressed it against the top of her head. This is the 27th envelope test.)

(“I pick up a very distant connection with Wisconsin, which I do not understand”, puzzled Jane, since she had no idea of what this could mean. I thought it might be a reference to the fact that my brother Loren, who wrote the test letter, is a model railroad fan. The magazine Model Railroader was, I thought, published in Wisconsin. There is a strong connection here because Loren has contributed articles and photographs to this magazine for many years. A trip to the newsstand to check verified my idea; Model Railroader has editorial offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jane was especially pleased at this because she knows nothing of the hobby, or the magazine or its address. It took me two days after the session to come up with the connection with Wisconsin myself.

You may if you like have a session in which you ask me any personal questions that come to mind. I was holding the material concerning your car for such an occasion, but decided this evening that it was important enough to you to take up a regular session.
