“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Since the conversation revolved around matters psychic and nonpsychic, the stage was set rather effortlessly for Seth’s appearance, although as stated neither Jane nor I actively encouraged the session. Everyone was in an excellent mood however. Soon after she began speaking for Seth, in a quite low and pleased voice, Jane launched into the reasons for Bill’s response to the painting. It marked Bill’s emotional perception, according to Seth, of Seth’s presence in the painting, earlier in the evening. Hence Bill’s feeling of an extra quality of life in the work. This event thus meant that for the first time Bill felt an emotional rapport with Seth, although previously he had been intrigued intellectually by the material.

(Seth went on to explain that with the exception of me everyone else in the room, including Jane, still had doubts as to what he was, that I accepted his explanation of his personality, and that this was a help in the sessions. This led to an exchange concerning secondary personalities. Seth said that in the future we would have many exchanges with psychologists and other scientists. Seth told us he knew how “their minds worked,” and that when they thought they had him pinned down as a secondary, he would have a surprise for them, a demonstration. He did not go into detail here and I did not press for particulars because I was not making notes. I believe such events lay quite well ahead of us however.
