“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Two additional notes to add to the above account: Seth told me we might have witnesses to the session scheduled for Wednesday, March 2, but he did not say how many and I did not ask. He also said Jane should use suggestion to teach herself to sleep without a pillow. This would benefit her as an individual greatly, he said, and promised to go into the reasons later. When I remarked that I often woke up to notice that Jane was sleeping without a pillow, having pushed it aside in her sleep, Seth said this was an indication that her subconscious knew what it was doing. I sleep with a heavier pillow than Jane uses, and sometimes use two; Seth said my reasons were different than Jane’s and that in this case the pillows were not a hindrance.

(Someone had then laboriously used a magic marker to try to cross out the notes so they couldn’t be read; we were much amused to read them rather easily by holding the pages up to a light. The comments run the gamut from scorn to approval, and tell us as much about their author as they do about Jane’s book. Jane plans to ask her publisher, F. Fell, for the name of the author of the notes, and for a copy of the covering letter he refers to. We have initials. Seth also comments on the events, although we did not ask him to.

(Without going into details her predictions involved a lost package and other pertinent forecasts having to do with delays. The post office fouled up here, misplacing the special delivery notice, then failing to make delivery, etc. Finally when Jane went to the post office just before closing time today to claim the package, it proved to be lost again, this time on the premises. It was found after a lengthy search.

By the time we are finished, we will have some excellent evidential material. By the time critics’ voices become noisy we will be ready to show what we can do. We will have progressed enough for that.

The inverted time system should be at least briefly explained in the Seth book. I do not want to dictate to Ruburt, or tell him how to write this book. It occurs to me however that it would be advantageous to include in the middle section my ideas concerning the construction of physical matter, the inverted time system, moment points, a discussion concerning the dream universe, and the system of probability. All of this in direct quotes from the material itself. The last section of the book could then deal with what evidential material we have, and you shall have more. I am certain that Ruburt could so organize the center portion of the book so that stress could still be given to the personal story line.

A page, I presume from a book, that somehow deals with history. I do not know if it is a history book, but it deals either with events in the past, or with ideas of the past.

A brown or red binding. Perhaps leather. That is, the cover is rather heavy or thick. Something to do with Descartes also, in the copy. A medieval scene depicted, with romantic overtones. Romantic not necessarily in terms of love interest, but in terms of imaginative fancy.

Something ground up or tattered. I do not know to what this refers. A woman in old-fashioned clothing, a representation rather than a person. The color red, large flowery first letters, open sentences or paragraphs.

Do you have a test for me, Joseph?

A connection with a machine, and locomotion, and some people you do not know, and some you do know.

(“and some people you do not know, and some you do know.” Too general. I do not know the people who operate John’s Bargain Store, but neither do I know many other of Artistic’s clients. Obviously there were people around the art room whom I do know.
