“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Right after the first snowfall two weekends ago, our landlord appeared with his Jeep and snowplow attached, and cleaned out our long curving driveway and the garage area in back of the apartment house. About a foot of snow had fallen, but this rather small amount still made things difficult for automobiles, and the area involved would mean hours of shoveling by hand.

He is indeed in the wrong, but over tax matters, certain falsifications. Also certain procedures on the borderline, concerning the house in which you live. He is worried that the illegal tax methods in connection with his business will be discovered.

Now. The figure 14,378. This refers to dollars, but interest will be added to it. This amount plus interest, I believe, will represent an initial amount due, but will not represent the full amount due.

If he falls ill I believe it will be at a party-type gathering, at least with many people about. A fairly serious but not critical illness, possibly caused by circulation fluctuations. The difficulty showing up in a right leg, though the origin of the illness will not be in the leg. Something of the sort of a blood clot in the leg, that type of illness.

(Break at 9:20. Jane was quite well dissociated for a first delivery, she said. Her eyes had opened briefly but once. Remember that the above material was delivered with many pauses interspersed. Most of the time Jane sat with her head down and her hands raised to her face, as during the Instream and envelope tests.

There may be bonds of some type, belonging to him but under the names of different people. I am not sure. The people may be members of his family. There are some stocks held on a long-term basis, perhaps in his children’s name. I am on unfamiliar ground here. I think of AT& T.

(Jane, still sitting with her hands raised to her closed eyes, took a long pause. Later I asked her if she knew what AT& T represented. After some thought she arrived at telephone and telegraph; guessing, she thought A might stand for Atlantic. But she did know the initials meant a stock.)

I do not seem to see a courtroom situation however, but a settling up, or an agreement to settle up. An admission and settlement of some kind, through a lawyer. Perhaps a penalty paid, but with no confinement. A lawyer convinces him to settle, and avoid going to court, and through certain manipulations this part of it will be taken care of. (Another long pause.) Some money will be borrowed. The hill property will be sold, or used for collateral. Stocks will be sold. He will not lose his own house because of this.

Now. Our object is a small framework (pause), small as if made of matchsticks. It is light(pause), and miniature, and formed of squares. I do not believe it is solid all the way through, but with open spaces in it. Some of the square shapes may be open.

Ruburt thinks of a mobile, but that is not precisely it at all. Light in color (pause), mainly vertical in form; that is, taller than it is wide. It may have a connection with an L P. (Long pause at 10:12.)

Now I pick up the word granger, but do not know to what it refers. (Pause.)

(As stated earlier the results of the envelope experiment were not high. The first reference, to a filing cabinet, is a good one; the colored paper I used in the test is kept in my cabinet, and has been so for perhaps two years. But after this Jane kept veering toward the letter. I thought someone studious referred to myself, but again there was not sufficient elaboration.

If you are interested in any kind of evidential material, it is good to hold tests fairly regularly. Now. When you want to give Ruburt a vacation from them, this is quite all right. But because of his peculiar makeup the first, or first few tests after resumption are apt to be poor now, at this time, because he is apt to try too hard. He is not used to the touch enough yet. He loses the touch of it, and falls back on other layers of the self which are not reliable for this sort of data.

One part of his whole personality is able to help me very much at times, but other portions simply cannot. I mentioned specifically Ruburt’s impression that the item had to do with a particular letter purposely, to tip him off, so to speak.

(Jane was curious about the Instream object. I thought that perhaps it was a ship model. I then recalled that earlier in the week Bill Gallagher and I had been looking at some of my books on the ships of the 17th and 18th centuries. These books contained plans and photographs. Jane and Bill’s wife Peggy had been present but hadn’t paid much attention to our talk.

Your reaction has changed the situation for the better. Not only so far as you and Ruburt are concerned, but as far as those others involved. Because of your most sensible reaction, the whole situation is much less bothersome than it would be otherwise. Not only for you but for your neighbors.
