“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A brief but potent unscheduled session was held Sunday night, with Bill and Peggy Gallagher as witnesses. This account is written the next evening from memory, since I took no notes at the time.

(Bill Gallagher asked Seth about a possible operation for his ulcers, although he has been feeling well. Seth replied that he saw no operation for Bill, should present trends continue, and that Bill should surmount the ulcer problem eventually. Seth has told Bill this before.

(The Gallaghers left shortly after this. Jane was upset, so upset that at first she couldn’t let Seth through, even though she wanted to. I urged her to sit quietly, smoke a cigarette, and relax. In view of earlier material I remembered, I thought the 67th- year information was a distortion, and that such a distortion was natural enough when one talked about one’s own passing. I also thought that all such predictions, whether favorable or not, depended upon probabilities, in line with the latest material we have been getting. I should add here that the 105th session dealt with the death of Jane’s mother, as well as Jane living to an advanced age. The mother’s death has not yet occurred, Seth saying that the information was by way of allowing Jane to prepareherself for the shock of her mother’s death. The subject had been brought up by severalvivid dreams and psychological time experiences Jane had had concerning her mother. While giving this 105th session, Seth had also had trouble getting the information through, ascribing the difficulty to Jane’s ego. See Volume 3.

(Within perhaps fifteen minutes after the Gallaghers left, Seth did come through. He proceeded to explain that Jane had indeed distorted her personal information. Subconsciously, Seth said, Jane was aware that the death of her grandfather, whom she had loved, was early next month, March. The grandfather had died of tuberculosis, hence Jane producing a distorted reference to a “breathing difficulty.” The grandfather had also died at the age of 67. Jane did not know this offhand consciously, Seth said, but had the records to prove it, and subconsciously was well aware of it.

(This brought the session to a close, somewhere around 11:30 PM, I would estimate. Jane’s eyes had remained closed while the Gallaghers were present. After their departure and when Seth resumed, they began to open occasionally. Her voice remained at an average level, nor was her delivery out of the ordinary.

(A note added 5½ years later: In July 1971 Bill Gallagher did have an operation for his ulcers. It went very well, and he is free of pain.)
