“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s increased abilities could already be revealing themselves. She has been doing very well on her book on dreams recently; this afternoon she remarked that it was going so well that she wondered where the material was coming from. Seth spoke on the integration of our personalities also in the 228th session; the material grew out of his material on the poetry book Jane produced so effortlessly. Our thought is that the dream book material is also appearing in the same way. According to Seth we are just beginning to use our creative abilities.

As sensitivity increases it will be necessary for him to distinguish among them; that is, to distinguish so that he realizes the differences between his own sensations, and any he may have inadvertently picked up. He will have no difficulty doing this. His abilities have increased, in line with his discipline, so that he will be able to make such distinctions. The first instance simply caught him unawares.

The object, a scribbled pad, small and white. An unusual amount of company. A rendition. Four and three. An encounter that had a disturbing aspect, this involving himself and another man. The man may have had a mustache of the prickly variety, or unusually bushy. Perhaps brown and gray. The disturbing aspect having to do with a book, and the initials A G that have something to do, I believe, with the book.

He has already learned how to do so, and so he is over that hump.

Do you have any questions?

(Break at 9:52. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed. Jane said Seth had surprised her by asking for the envelope. This was definitely Seth’s doing, she said, and he asked out of politeness.

(“An announcement, as in an announcement of intention.” The first paragraph of the envelope object contains Bill Macdonnel’s intention not to remove the painting from the gallery window even though requested to do so by the police. Bill reiterated his decision on his visit earlier tonight.

(“An impression again of an unscheduled event also, or an event not kept.” Jane is sure this refers to Peggy Gallagher, who wrote the news story used as envelope object. On Friday April 15 Jane and I and the Gallaghers heard about Bill’s difficulties. Peggy planned to call Bill Saturday but did not do so. We saw the Gallaghers on Sunday evening and learned that she still hadn’t seen Bill Macdonnel. Her story however was printed on Monday, April 18, which means she had to see Bill sometime Monday morning. This was possible because Bill Macdonnel, as a teacher, was still on Easter vacation.
