“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. She was not smoking; her voice was average, her pace again slow, with many pauses.)

(Jane began speaking at a much faster pace. Her eyes opened as soon as she began, widely, and remained so for some little time. The rapid delivery was interspersed with short pauses. Resume at 9:30.)

(“Nine.” We are not sure, since we did not ask Seth. The sessions usually begin at 9:00 PM on the dot. The 170th session, represented by the envelope object, actually began at 8:57.

(Remember that this episode took place just before, or just as, these sessions began. At the time Jane and I knew little about the power of suggestion. We received Type II in November 1963, the month in which we began experimenting with matters psychic. We did not get to work, really, with the Ouija board until later in the month; Seth made his appearance in December 1963.

It represented, the illness, the last of a rather long-term and somewhat exaggerated distaste for your position in the world financially, that began when you left the field of comics.

Now. Whenever you find time, we will hold sessions in which definite diet suggestions are given for you both, for there are allergies that operate here, and you are not taking advantage of the information that I have in this regard.

(End at 11:10. Jane, again well dissociated, said Seth “could go on for hours,” but by now we were getting tired. We have often wondered whether food allergies might be influencing us. Seth had some information for us on our diet, in a general way, in the 185th session. See Volume 4.)
