“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Our landlord’s wife, Marian Spaziani, visited us this evening, and told us tales of the people who call her with long histories of their own illnesses, etc. These episodes have begun to leave Marian herself in a nervous state, etc.)

The experience will be must less startling to the ego than an abrupt projection, and the ordinary nature of the activities, walking into the next room for example, will be reassuring. You are more calm, and in your own surroundings. Of course Ruburt was out of his body when he saw Miss Callahan, who was in the same condition.

Now it is possible for someone within the physical body to perceive someone who is not, but it is not usual. And the perceiver must then be a person of strong psychic abilities, whether or not he realizes this.

(“A city. Very distant connection with something like Cincinnati, Ohio.” A possible distant connection: At the end of her second day of teaching Jane was given a ride home by a next-door neighbor who is also a teacher. The neighbor is from Ohio, but not Cincinnati, which could account for Seth’s reference to “something like” Cincinnati. In addition, the neighbor had just returned to Elmira from a trip to Ohio, so the Ohio thought was mentioned in the conversation more than once. City is also mentioned on the object itself—City School District, etc.

(“Numbers or mathematics.” The object contains many numbers. A mathematics connection that is possible: a friend of Jane’s who is also a substitute teacher told Jane that she had a lot of trouble trying to teach the “new mathematics.”
