“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 226

(Jane achieved partial success with Bill on two attempts. The first try was the best. Bill was unable to open his eyes and developed good amnesia in his left hand, these being the tests Jane used to show him something about the trance state. However he was not able to speak during either session, and came out of the state both times when Jane asked him to answer questions. He did succeed in relaxing very well. This is difficult for him to do; he has ulcers.

(Nor was Peggy able to speak during her first session and left the state when Jane began to ask her questions. On the second attempt Jane succeeded quite well by using a more authoritative approach. She did not ask Peggy questions this time. Peggy attained a deep enough state to show no reaction when Jane placed our cat, Willy, on her stomach as she lay on the divan. Peggy has a deep fear of animals in general and cats in particular, this being why Seth calls her the cat lover.

(No envelope test was held during tonight’s session.

(The session was witnessed by John Bradley, our friend from Williamsport, PA, who attends a session occasionally. John usually inspires Seth in a telepathic/clairvoyant way, and so tonight some effects were obtained also. The last session John witnessed was the 204th.

(The session was held in our large front room, in full light as usual. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. As is often the case when witnesses are present she seemed to draw upon extra energy; her pace was fast from the start, and her voice stronger and somewhat deeper than usual.)

(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.)

The individual can change past action within however the limitations earlier mentioned in our last session. Therefore his future actions are not dependent upon a concrete and unchanging past, for such a past never existed.

(At first John said Seth’s material meant little or nothing to him. This is just about a standard first reaction from witnesses for whom Seth has given such material; offhand Jane and I can think of no one who has reacted differently. It takes time for memory to begin to work. As usual I read Seth’s data back to John, and as he has in past sessions he then began to make connections. See the 135th, 166th, 190th, 199th, 200th, and 204th sessions for material re. John. A fair amount of the material is telepathic and/or clairvoyant, especially that of the 204th session. Seth expands on this last session in the 205th and 206th sessions, and deals with John’s experience in hearing Seth speak to him when he was alone.

(“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.

I will here end our session, with a gentle note to Ruburt, that I have asked him not to smoke when we are dealing with such material. Also a supper engagement, two men, and a paper is shown.

(John was interested in whether Seth could add anything to the long range material he has given concerning Searle Drug over the past year and a half. This material is somewhat long and complicated, and is covered in the sessions John has witnessed: 37, 54, 63, 70, 95, 135, 166, 190, 204. Searle is going through a financial and management crisis, and this is reflected in the stock market; John is naturally concerned. See Volumes 1 through 5.

(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.)
