“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth also said we have helped the Gallaghers, and that they have helped us. He said I have been particularly benefited, since they have the ability to open me up, whereas I had always thought Jane benefited most, because of her very warm relationship with Peggy. Jane is more outgoing than I am.

(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.

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.

(I have had several other suggestive experiences recently, and keep a list of these in my dream notebook. One involved voices; another and more striking one involved my naming the exact item of clothing Jane purchased for me, unknown to me while I was at my job.

A downtown location, in which he sometimes works. For a scientist he is himself rather long-winded, and can hardly afford to take me to task on that particular point.

Do you have a test for me, Joseph?

(At 10:16 I handed Jane the 36th double envelope; as usual she took it from me without opening her eyes, then sat holding it to her forehead with her right hand. Her eyes were still closed.)

(See the tracing of the envelope object, and its accompanying drawing, on pages 313-14. We did not ask Seth to clear up each point in the data, so give below our own interpretations. As stated, the key drawing made by my boss was the actual envelope object. This is on thin white paper. The drawing on tracing paper was made by me, from instructions given to me by my boss, and is a schematic drawing to be traced onto Bristol board for final artwork.

(“I get a connection with a missionary, or religion”, is a reference to the fact that the stickers were to be used on boxes of religious cards, as well as other categories. While I was making the drawing the four or five boxes of different cards were laid out before me so that I could refer to them, and the religious box was among them.

(“and locomotion”, is to me a personal association of Jane’s derived from the machine data above.

(“A connection with a house and a white border.” This is interesting, in that Jane said she had an image of a card shape with a house and foliage on it. It was not very clear, yet she knew that much about it. The boxes of cards for which the sticker was made are large, large enough to contain reproductions of four cards, arranged in a rectangular pattern on the box top, and on a printed gold background. Each card design is surrounded by a rectangular white border, perhaps an eighth of an inch wide. Some of the boxes laid out before me, as I made my drawing for the sticker, contained reproductions of cards bearing houses, trees, flowers, etc.; the standard kind of subject material for greeting cards.

You may ask me questions at the end of my delivery of impressions, and before the break.
