“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

(Jane paused and closed her eyes. Both of us had almost forgotten that we wanted Seth to help us locate the little three-legged pointer that goes with the Ouija board. Last weekend we had discovered the pointer was missing, and had been trying to find it ever since.

(We haven’t used the Ouija board for perhaps two years. It will be recalled that the board helped these sessions get under way, in December 1963, but it was soon dispensed with when Jane began to speak the material. The pointer’s loss however was quite embarrassing because the board did not belong to us, but to our landlord, James Spaziani. We never did get around to buying our own.

(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.)

(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.)
