“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Our young friends, Marilyn and Don Wilbur, visited us before the session this evening but did not stay for the session itself. With their young friend Ann Diebler, they have witnessed a very few unscheduled sessions. They have been reading some of the early material and now want to attend a regular session, so arrangements were made whereby they would witness the 247th session. Don plans to bring a camera and flash also. Jane is 37, I’m 46.

Now. I would like to make a few remarks concerning your friends.

Now. I have some remarks to make. You are taking the first steps toward a much more enjoyable, flexible, and fulfilling existence.

Now let us change the subject. I am pleased with the outline that Ruburt prepared for another book. And that book, when it is written, will be an excellent one, and a major contribution.

(The other morning in a burst of inspiration Jane wrote out a full outline, including chapter breakdown, of the book she intends to write after she finishes the first book on the Seth Material, and the book on dreams that she now has well under way.

(Seth now begins to elaborate on the Wyoming data given in the last session, in connection with my telepathic perception. See pages 53-55.)

Now I suggest a brief break and we shall continue.

(Many sessions ago, I believe within the first 50, Seth told us we should one day be aware of our dreams while fully conscious. At the time we did not have enough background material to see how this would be possible. We now believe it possible, and the closing paragraph above struck a chord within me; I think the very passive state I achieve at times after doing hatha yoga might signal a beginning here.

(It was now time for the 52nd Dr. Instream experiment. As usual Jane sat with her eyes closed and her head bowed to one hand. Her pace included many pauses; they were short for the most part however and her pace was on the whole good. Resume at 10:06.)

Now give us a moment please for our Instream material.

Now our object is something small and round, quite like a button but with symbols on it, and larger than a button. It resembles a coin, and is dark as if stained or old.

It has a connection with a foreign country. One of the symbols is a snake shape, like a heavy twisted rope. Now the fish impression mentioned earlier may also be connected with the symbols on this object. The symbols on the object seem to represent creatures of the sea, land and air.

The object does not belong to Dr. Instream. Something to do with mileage. This is not the object now, but a separate impression. He plans a trip, to a specific location. A connection with Canada. Also I believe with a boat, though this will not be the main method of transportation.

Now we are finished with the Instream material.

A connection with salt. I give Ruburt a break after our impressions, and I shall do so now. Then if you are not tired we shall continue. I leave the length of the session to you. Add the number 103 to our information concerning the location, and there is the whistle of wind.

(Jane knew that after Monday’s session I had looked at a road map of Wyoming; she had not done so. She said she had grown used to the envelope experiments, and missed them now when we didn’t have them. We had been busy with our visitors before session time and I hadn’t had my mind on preparing an envelope.

If you use your head my friend, you can end up with a week that is well balanced, will meet both of your needs, will allow you to operate more effectively for this reason in all your endeavors. You will have a framework in your existence which is truly refreshing. The challenge and the opportunity is yours, but now is the time to initiate such a procedure.

For Ruburt, with the longer afternoon now, a clear break with perhaps a walk and a small snack in the middle of the afternoon, will allow him extra and most enjoyable working time before dinner. He has not been flexible enough here.

You have both been so consciously concerned with your Ouija board pointer that it is difficult for me now to get much information through. The conscious demands inhibit inner information. However give us a moment and we shall see what we can do, despite the difficulty.

(When we discovered the pointer was lost, I remarked to Jane that now Jimmy would probably want the board back. Two days later, Jimmy visited us and asked us if he could take the board back; he and his wife wanted to experiment with it. They had never used it after Jimmy bought it. Jimmy now told us it had been on his mind in recent days. Jane and I looked for the pointer again while Jimmy waited. We didn’t find it and all three of us ended up embarrassed. Jane and I decided it was time to ask Seth for help.)

You might also check the papers on your floor, because I am only certain of the low impression and the papers. In any case that is all I can get through now.

(As of the time I type this, Saturday, April 2, we haven’t yet found the pointer. We used to keep it on a low bookcase shelf; we used to keep newspapers on the same shelf also. We tie the papers in bundles and put them on an outside back porch for collection. Jane searched the papers there but didn’t find the pointer. But collections have been made recently and the pointer, if there, could be gone easily enough by now.)

(“Sometime soon we’d like you to discuss the quasars, but we haven’t got the time now.”

(End at 10:51. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had opened often and her pace had been faster. She ended the session with a broad smile, and explained now that she’d had a strong feeling of rapport with Seth. He would, she said, be only too pleased to speak to us and be of help; he would speak now for hours, Jane said, were it not for the work involved on our parts.)
