“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(When he first appeared John mentioned that he had attended a meeting for medical salesman in Cleveland OH earlier this month; John is a sales representative for Searle Drug. As soon as he mentioned Cleveland I asked him to say nothing more about it, in the event Seth chose to do so later. Fortunately Jane was out of the room at the moment and did not hear Cleveland mentioned.

(John attended a salesmen’s meeting, held by his employer, Searle Drug, in Cleveland OH on January 12-14,1966. He stayed at the Sheraton-Hilton Hotel. The president of the company and his top assistants also attended the meeting.

(“12th Street.” John now told us that he took several meals in the Manger Hotel—pronounced with a hard G—and had some business engagements there also. This hotel is on either 12th or 13th St. in Cleveland; John was not positive, but felt the address would be 12th Street rather than 13th Street.

(“in a town that is large and not in this location.” Cleveland is of course some distance from here. As stated Jane did not hear John mention Cleveland to me, although she knew he had been traveling. In any case Seth mentioned no city by name.

(“I think also of a meeting and a fat man.” At the Sheraton-Hilton John had several meetings with Searle’s Washington, DC representative to the government, Mr. McKeown. This man engaged John in conversations designed to feel him out, John said, and did it so cleverly that the meeting in Cleveland was over before he fully realized what had taken place. John is aware that he is being considered for promotion however. Mr. McKeown, John told us, is quite overweight, but is not a truly obese person. John said his own idea of a “fat” man is one who is grossly overweight; this Mr. McKeown is not, even though on the heavy side.

(John said he could offer little help, still, on the two women mentioned by Seth. He said that one of his friends sees a woman friend whenever he goes to Cleveland, and that perhaps this woman has a companion, or a roommate.

(John said his barber in Williamsport, PA, is named Alfred, and that a friend of his who is active in a political organization that John belongs to, in Williamsport, is named Leo. But if these names refer to Cleveland, John could offer no confirmation.

(Seth’s predictions for Searle include the loss of power for the current vice president, who is the son of the company’s founder, although the son may retain a titular chair. There is to be a drastic reorganization, finally, after all else fails. John, according to Seth, would be wise to remain with the company, for eventually things will work out well. Seth told John he could go as far as he desired in the company. John has been sounded out before by high officials, and was again at this Cleveland meeting.
