“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“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.

(“Also an apartment.” John could offer nothing here at the moment, although there was a good connection, involving the Sheraton-Hilton and Mr. McKeown. It will be explained later in the session.

(“Three alternate plans.” John said he didn’t see connections here, unless the reference was to his own personal plans. Recently he did have three plans in mind, which Jane and I also knew about, and which Seth had mentioned. These were to leave Searle and buy a restaurant in his hometown of Williamsport, PA; to stay with Searle and in Williamsport; or to demand a transfer of location from Searle, and a promotion. Mr. McKeown is involved with the last of these alternatives, so it is conceivable that “there is a question over the third.” as stated by Seth.

(As stated earlier, the sounding out was quite subtle as performed by Mr. McKeown and the other official, the tall thin man. They sought to learn John’s views while not committing themselves in any way, so as to save themselves the embarrassmentof being refused. John has since written to Mr. McKeown for further information—this after he realized what was transpiring.

(As John explained company politics to us now, he said he thought he saw a connection with Seth’s mention of an “apartment.” on page 235. It will be remembered that at first John could offer nothing for this data. Mr. McKeown, John said, had gone so far as to invite him up to his private room at the Sheraton-Hilton, for more secluded talks involving the company. At the time John was somewhat surprised that a high company official would pay particular attention to him. It was during such meetings as this, and those at the Manger, that the sounding-out process commenced.

(End at 11:03. Jane had spoken quietly, her eyes closed. As stated, John has since written Mr. McKeown for more information, and any additional information related to Seth’s predictions in this session will be included in a future session.)
