“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My welcome to our friend Philip.

Now. If our exuberant Ruburt has calmed down, and if our friend Philip has put down his paper, we shall begin.

(Jane had been very pleased with some humorous poetry she had written today, and had been reading it to John before the session. John’s entity name is Philip. Just as the session began he had been folding a newspaper; as usual Seth wasn’t bashful about asking for quiet.)

In many respects the individual is not at the mercy of past events, for he changes them constantly. He is not therefore at the mercy of future events, for he changes these also, not only before but also after their occurrence. I regret that our friend Philip does not have the preliminary background to follow this discussion with clarity.

For now, just write down 12th Street, and let it go at that. The 12th Street may have a significance to Philip.

Philip, during the test data please try to be as quiet as possible. Dr. Instream’s hypnosis experiments now doing very well. Some slight difficulty in one particular area, caused by a motor malfunction. The malfunction the result of subconscious associations on the part of the subject. (Pause.)

I repeat the short data given earlier for Philip, in a town that is large and not in this location. I think also of a meeting and a fat man.

A hilltop address. Two women live together, this is a separate impression. One woman wears a string of beads, and Philip knows her. 1652.

The two women referred—I am not sure so we shall go slowly—the two women live together and they had reference to one of the two gentlemen I have mentioned in connection with Philip.

An occasion at Philip’s home at about three o’clock in the afternoon, in connection with his family. A grievance also.

At another meeting some other aspects were made known to you, Philip, of which you may not be consciously aware. A vague but definite connection to Dayton, OH, here. A man with connections with Dayton, OH will be involved with a change in your company. We speak in terms of probabilities. Nevertheless no actions thus far have occurred to drastically change any of the predicted events, and unless actions are so initiated events will occur as given.

The information that was given to you and which you did not understand had to do with this man, and his impression of you had much to do with what I am saying, insofar as the company, and Philip’s connection to it, is concerned.
