“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in the front room. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. For much of the time she held a hand to her face, her head down. Her voice was quiet and she paused frequently.)

You have also communicated with me in this manner, Joseph, for your edification. You may if you wish suggest that you will remember some of these conversations, and then you may be able to do so, to some degree. (Long pause, eyes closed.)

The address itself had two fives in the number. There is a connection with a 1632 date that I do not understand. Perhaps we can clear it up later. (Long pause.) A Gaylor family was connected with the church. Rich members I believe, and they were buried nearby. A Sarah and an Oscar.

G-r-a-n-o-l-d-y. A connection with St. Ambrose, and the church. (Long pause.) Church records kept in a vault in the basement. (Long pause.) Later, much later, a track of some kind was built very near by the church property. For a while in later years, the house where you lived had front rooms converted into a barber shop. Perhaps from 1870 to 1890.

Later still, a dress shop, and then a restaurant, as the neighborhood deteriorated. Then, all new buildings. You were portly. The church was near the water, and it was visited on occasion by sailors. (Many pauses, some of them long. Jane’s eyes were closed and she was very restless.)

Give us a moment. (Long pause. Jane kicked her shoes off.)

(Break at 9:58. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes remained closed and her pace was slow. She was aware that she was very restless. Jane said that during one of the longer pauses she felt Seth trying to get at the name Nostratious from the earlier note data. We thought Nostratious Elmo a most peculiar name. In an earlier session Seth told us Jane had been a medium in her Boston life, and that she had misused her abilities. This could account for the mention of a professional name above however. See page 86 in Volume 1.

(It was now time for the 61st Dr. Instream experiment. Jane’s pace was once again broken by short pauses as she sat with a hand raised to her closed eyes. Resume at 10:09.)

(Jane paused at 10:18. Without opening her eyes she took the envelope for our 52nd experiment from me. She held it to her forehead briefly then lowered it to her lap; she resumed her earlier position, her head lowered to one hand.)

Connection with four people, one of them disheveled, comparatively speaking. Fourteen, and I suggest your break. (Pause.)
