“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This led rather naturally into a discussion of ages. Seth then told Bill he saw him living until around 85, with Peggy equally old. Seth then told me I would live to be 87. This is the first time he has given me any specific age, although in several previous sessions, among them the 149th and the 217th, he has mentioned my living to an old age. In the 105th session, among others, he stated that Jane’s death was not “to occur for many years.” In our immediately past lives, spent mainly in Boston in pre-Civil War days, Jane lived to be 82 or 83 as a woman medium, and I lived to be 63 as an Episcopalian minister. We have received a limited amount of data on the Boston lives, and are not sure of our personal relationship, except that we were not man and wife. See Volume 4, for example.

(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.

(Jane has in her files a family record book going back to the mid 1800’s. Consulting this after the session we found that Seth was correct, that her grandfather had been 67 when he died March 12,1948. Jane was extremely attached to her grandfather; she grew up without a father since her parents separated when she was three years old, and her grandfather did his best to fill in the gap. Seth said the anniversary of his death has been on her mind. Seth dealt with the grandfather rather extensively in the 14th session. This material was the longest at the time, dealing with another personality in such a manner. See Volume 1.

(Seth also agreed that all such predictions are indeed based on probabilities. By and large, he said, predictions will work out if no major drastic changes in personality and/or behavior occur.

(Seth went on to give us some information that I for one found surprising. After saying that Jane would live into her eighties also, he said that we would be instrumental in offering conclusive evidence for the survival of the personality after physical death. Without naming names, he told me that the one of us dying first would succeed in communicating with the surviving partner in such a way that the results would give conclusive proof “to the masses.”
