“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

(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.

(As usual Jane took the double envelope from me without opening her eyes. On impulse I almost told Seth there was to be no envelope, but decided to go ahead in the presence of a witness. Jane appeared to feel all right, also. She held the envelope against her forehead.)

(Jane paused at 10:17, without opening her eyes. She now held the envelope in her lap. This was the second time Seth had given me the chance to ask a question after an experiment. I could not be sure, without checking with Seth in detail, but I thought Jane had been wandering about on the above data. Because we had a witness I didn’t think we would spend too much time checking details. Earlier in the day I had wondered what would happen if I asked Seth/Jane to go over all of the data again; I supposed Jane would take this as a sign that the first data wasn’t much good, and at break Jane said this was her thought at the time.

(Seth offered to go over the test material but we went on with more material for John Bradley, the witness. Jane and I made a few connections, which will be noted. In the first group of impressions Jane said the data “A light strip on this item. Perhaps wider at one end, and in the lower portion.” pertained to a mental image she had at the time. She saw a wedge-shaped light strip, horizontally, but could tell no more than this.
