“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 239

(The 38th envelope experiment was held during the session. The object, sealed in the usual double envelope, was the insurance slip for the two manuscripts Jane mailed to her publisher on February 10,1966. These were the poetry book and the first section of her book on the Seth material. This material is discussed in the 234th session, among others.

(Jane was not feeling at her best, and did not do as well as she wanted to on the experiment. I had suggested earlier in the day that she skip the session but she declined. She also wanted to have the envelope experiment. John Bradley, our salesman friend from Williamsport, PA, was a witness, and I believe this contributed to the envelope results, in some way I cannot define. Previously Jane has done well with envelopes before witnesses.

(John’s entity name is Philip. He has witnessed a number of sessions, the last being the 226th. John’s presence usually calls forth some telepathic and/or clairvoyant material from Seth, and so it developed this evening. The form of the material is a little different however this time, and involves John and his wife for the most part.

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. She was smoking, and opened her eyes but the one time to put out her cigarette. Her pace was average, her voice a little more active than usual.)

(A long break now ensued. It was brought about because John began talking about his family relationships; the subject came up when we discussed some of the sessions John has witnessed, and the data Seth has given in them pertaining to John, his family, his job, etc. Some of the predictions are long-range. See 166th, 190th, 204th, 226th, for example; in Volumes 4 and 5.

Now. I did not resume the session for rather obvious reasons.

However I will discuss this later in the session, and make a few comments now. Give us a moment however.

(See the tracing of the object on page 339. The object is the insurance slip for the manuscripts of Jane’s poetry book, and the first section of the Seth material, mailed to her publisher on February 10,1966. This material is discussed to some extent in the 234th session, among others.

(“A connection with a rush, or hurry. An engagement. A framework and a variety of incidents leading up to an important development.” Jane felt emotionally good about this data, she said. It involved her efforts in getting the tape made, and the two manuscripts in question, ready for the mail. All of it was done in quite a hurry, at the request of her publisher. Jane called her publisher on February 8, as noted in the envelope material in the 234th session, then hurried to get the scripts and tape ready for the mail on February 10. A variety of incidents were involved while Jane made the tape recording of the poems, etc.

I suggest a brief break. We cannot have Joseph’s hands falling off at every session.

The adjustments necessary are not all on your part, but your adjustments can initiate hers. You are concerned, and have made efforts, but you are better equipped, simply because of your personality structure, to make these efforts. She is at this point like a child in the woods, but the potentialities are there for an excellent relationship. We will take a break or end the session, as you prefer.

(11:59. I thought John wanted more information, but we were tired by now, and this proved to be the end of the session. Jane had been dissociated as usual. Her rapid pace had been broken by some rather long pauses, and her eyes had remained closed.
