“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It can be said that since the Gallaghers and the Wilburs both know of the sessions, and that they visit us regularly, an unscheduled session is hardly unusual with these two sets of witnesses. It can also be said however that we do not easily hold unscheduled sessions, although from the record it might seem they are held rather often. Jane and I usually go out of our way to avoid them because of the extra work involved, etc. Hence the late starting hour for this one.

(Seth made some interesting points which I will attempt to summarize. Earlier in the evening Bill Gallagher spent perhaps three-quarters of an hour contemplating the oil painting of an elderly man which I executed in July 1965. Seth on various occasions has claimed this painting, along with one other, to be likenesses of him. I did these two without models. This evening Bill commented often that the painting in question had a peculiar alive quality for him. I told him the lighting was flattering, but Bill insisted there was a different quality in the work, and that he did not believe it was due solely to suggestion.

(The surprise, Seth went on, would embarrass scientific personnel, but would also lead to clearer understanding of the Seth phenomenon. None of this information was given in a superior, or smug or sarcastic manner. It was a warm evening and our living room windows were open. Traffic noise even at this hour was audible; when I told Seth he was in danger of being drowned out by the traffic noise, the voice immediately rose in strong volume, humorously, for a few sentences: “I will never be drowned out by traffic...” etc.
