“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I use the term space travel loosely. In some conditions such expeditions will be powered by pooled mental or psychic resources. You may journey within your own solar system using physical vehicles, but you will not make any effective breakthrough beyond your solar system unless psychic and mental resources are developed.

Perhaps I shall contact you both some night under those circumstances. Once more, remember in your dream experiments that you will be able to perceive not only your own constructions, but upon some occasions the constructions of others.

It is best that they remain so. Take advantage of them when they happen within the dream state, but at this time do not attempt any such endeavor from the trance state. There are too many difficulties involved.

(At 9:23 Jane took the envelope for our 55th experiment from me without opening her eyes. She pressed it to her forehead briefly, then lowered it to her lap but kept the other hand to her eyes.)

(“A connection with a spade.” On our second visit, in 1964, Jane and I were told that Nate Goldsmith had died. We do not know just when he died, but believe it was after our first visit. Jane did not know the Goldsmiths intimately, merely to speak to. Also on the 1964 visit we were told the restaurant had been, or was being, sold.

(“Writing. Five, perhaps five lines.” Once again, we do not know just what Seth means by writing—type like this, printing, handwritten script or lettering, etc. The front cover of the object contains five lines of large type against the black background. The object was presented flat or opened up in the envelope, so also visible at a glance would be more than five lines—eight to be exact exclusive of the name on the caricature. I hand lettered inside the cover also. The phone number on the top fold of the object contains a five, but we don’t know whether this means anything.

(“Four people standing up.” Four people were involved on our second visit to Saratoga, of course, but we don’t know what the standing reference involves.

(“Implication of an error.” This is a good connection, involving both our visits to Saratoga. It is personal and so is not given in detail here, but can be explained by us at any time.

(“Perhaps a J and a G.” I asked Seth for initials of the people at the meeting. The J can refer to Jane, but not the G. The initial G of course shows up on the object itself, twice, in Nate Goldsmith and Mother Goldsmith’s.

(End at 10:11. Jane was “out” as usual. She said Seth felt affectionate at the end of the session. She held the session tonight not only because she didn’t want to miss it, but because under similar circumstances in the past the results have been good. She had confidence that if she really shouldn’t have a session Seth would either call it off entirely or make it very short.)
