“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt did well to relax the last few days, and he will now find that he applies himself to his various endeavors with renewed energy. I am glad that he put his dream book aside for a while, merely because he will have much more data for it within a short time. He can be working out his ideas however in the meantime, as this will be most beneficial. Even though some of his ideas will change, he will still need these present ideas as a basis.

A mission that worked out differently than he expected.

(Note above that Seth first gives data connected with the object; next he tries to become more specific about the object itself. Later in the session he has something to say about this method.

(“Someone runs away.” I thought this a reference to the fact that Don Wilbur and his wife Marilyn left the dancing establishment somewhat earlier than the rest of us did, because he was very tired after putting many hours of overtime work for the county, in connection with the snow we have been getting this month. This was not correct.

(It involved a man I see very occasionally at my job. He works in another department, and is named Hack Rice. Jane and I see him more often when out dancing that I do on the job. He is always accompanied by his wife. Early Saturday evening, we saw Hack Rice and his wife dancing, and said hello as we usually do. At this time Hack was quiet and smiling.

(For a while the couple then disappeared from view and we forgot about them. Much later, around midnight, when the floor was crowded, Jane and I saw Hack again. Now he was obviously feeling good, and dancing with another woman. Hack is what they call a slow and smooth dancer. To the amusement of most people, Hack and the woman, whom we did not know, put on quite an exhibition of exaggerated, sinuous, close-contact dancing.

This had no connection. The Gallaghers were at a party that evening. They were somewhat on Ruburt’s mind, and the name Terwilliger is a subconscious designation he uses for them. A distortion of the words Tim and Gallagher, simply because Tim has a particularly Gaelic connotation for him. More so than Bill, which is our Jesuit’s first name.

(In the 180th session, after the second envelope experiment, Seth told us he worked well clairvoyantly with objects, although at times telepathy could enter into such experiments.)

Ruburt, you see, does not perceive shapes as I do. Also he does not deal with details, as far as his overall perceptive patterns are concerned, and I am teaching him to do so psychically in these tests.

(This referred to Ann Diebler’s escort, Paul Sinderman. Paul holds a job in Norfolk, VA. He makes the 1200-mile round trip to Wellsburg, a small town just outside Elmira, to see Ann every other weekend. We were discussing the amount of driving this involved, during our evening at the dancing establishment last Saturday. Paul has been in at least one auto accident that we know of.

On occasion he is in somewhat deeper a trance state, and our results are better, but this does not teach him what I want him to learn. The light trance state is ideal for my purposes. For with this training he will be able to give specificinformation, but he will also have some knowledge of how this comes about. Do you have any more questions?

(“Good. I’m sure he’s interested. Good night, Seth.”
