“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again Jane began speaking in a heavier voice, since our windows were open because of the warm evening. Her eyes remained closed for the entire first delivery. Her pace was good.)

(Break at 9:23. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. Her eyes remained closed. Her voice had become somewhat stronger, her pace good.

(Jane now sat leaning forward, with both hands raised to her closed eyes as she began giving the 72nd Instream data. Resume at 10:10.)

(At 10:16 I handed Jane the envelope for our 61st experiment. Her eyes still closed, she pressed it to her forehead, its long dimension parallel to the floor.)

This is difficult to put into words… The impression of something going forward, as of a path, you see, that is wide, and then narrows into the distance. (Her eyes closed, Jane made a gesture with both arms that the Wilburs and I interpreted like this:

I believe your brother Loren is one present. (Pause.) The number 17, a date in July which will be significant to him, or his close family—not necessarily to him, you see. (Pause.)

(“I believe your brother Loren is one present. The number 17, a date in July which will be significant to him, or his close family—not necessarily to him, you see.” We did not ask for this data; it came through spontaneously. We saw one reason why Seth could have chosen to insert it here in the envelope data, and Seth confirms our speculation later. Our idea was that Seth sought to use the idea of a relative connection with the object. Ruth Gridley, listed on page 3 of the object as one of the Art Shop’s new management, is my first cousin; Loren of course is my brother. But we still think the Loren data is separate in the main from the envelope data.

We will now close our session, out of my due passionate regard for you. I am as always quite willing and able to carry on for some time.
