“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the last session Seth said the possibility existed that we would have four or five witnesses for the session tonight. He had also mentioned such a possibility during Sunday’s unscheduled session of February 27. However no witnesses appeared.

(Prior to the session Jane and I had a discussion as to the exact profession of the person who had written the many notes on the manuscript of her ESP book. See pages 319-20 for notes on this, in the 236th session, and Seth’s comments. Neither of us thought the person in question a psychologist. I favored a parapsychologist, Jane a psychiatrist. In his comments he referred rather often to his own theory of spherical time. Neither of us have heard of this, nor can we find a reference to it in our books.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth enjoys calling himself an energy personality essence.)

(These sessions began when we contacted the Frank Watts personality through the Ouija board, in December 1963. The Frank Watts personality was replaced in the 4th session by Seth. Seth has dealt with Frank Watts to some degree in the following sessions: 4, 8, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21, 25, 29, 31, 51, 85, 88, 173, 184, 189, 224. See Volumes 1 through 5.)

(Break at 9:32. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first delivery. She knew Seth was being deliberate, she said, but was not aware that half an hour had passed. Her pace had been very slow, and she did not have too good an idea of what she had said.

(Jane said she thought Seth might have gone into the survival material because of some of the marginal notes made on her ESP manuscript by our unknown friend, particularly on the chapters dealing with reincarnation.

(Jane paused at 9:56. Seth dispensed with the usual break before our experimental material. When break finally did arrive Jane said Seth was going to give a break at this time but decided to go ahead because she was in a good state. Usually, Jane said, she reaches a better state as time passes.

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 327. Jane and I made most of the connections between the envelope object and the data easily enough, and did not ask Seth to clear up any points. The connections tonight were predominantly related with the envelope object itself, and not displaced onto another as they had been in the last session, and in the 234th, which involved the episode of the four letters.

(“Good night, Seth.”
