“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Whenever you are attached in any way, whenever consciousness is attached to a physical organism, then inner data will be interpreted in physical terms. You can indeed learn to perceive reality in other terms, and you are both doing so.

It should be remembered that the intellect, in the light of this book, is as perfect then as any other manifestation of what is termed divine spirit. The intellect has been trained unfortunately to deal almost exclusively with the results of sense data. This does not mean that it cannot and should not do more.

(We found our cat, Catherine, in a next-door backyard after dark on Sunday evening. His right pelvic joint was broken. We had been away Sunday. Upon our return that evening at supper time, Jane began to go outside to look for the cat perhaps every fifteen minutes. She does not usually do this. As it happened our washing had been hung in the basement the day before because of rain.

Do you have an envelope for me?

(Jane took from me the sealed double envelopes for our 76th experiment. Then, her eyes open and very dark, she got to her feet. Smiling broadly she slapped my hand with the envelope, and paced back and forth briefly as she used to do many sessions ago.)

A method of disposal. An impression I do not understand. Gubatorial. (Jane pronounced this as though groping a bit.) Blue. Something in the vernacular.

Illia. (My interpretation. Jane waved the envelope. Her eyes opened briefly.) I do not know to what this refers, and perhaps an F and R.

The scribble again. An inadequate performance. And something to do with a name. And some word like January or Januarious.

Do you have questions? 1961.

(“An impression I do not understand. Gubatorial, blue. Something in the vernacular.” This we regard as excellent data. Jane groped a bit on gubatorial, although I had no trouble putting down her pronouncement here. The data is made even clearer in answering the one question asked. The object features election day sales on both sides. Since the New York State elections, including that for the governorship, were due on November 9, it is apparent that Jane was trying for the word gubernatorial, with which she is not particularly familiar on a conscious level.

(“A mission with unforeseen consequences.” The article on page 12 of the newspaper, dealing with the Dominican seminary in Portugal, has to do with the journey to the United States each year of a priest, Rev. Fernandes, on a fund-raising mission. The subtitle of the article also reads: “Project in Portugal Aided by Funds Raised in U.S.”.

(“ Illia. I do not know to what this refers.” Illia is my interpretation of what Jane said, with some emphasis. The only word remotely approaching this is Aldeia Nova, meaning New Village, and is found in the article on page 12 of the full sheet, dealing with the Dominican Seminary in Portugal. See page 153.

(“And something to do with a name. And some word like January or Januarious.” This is good subjective data to Jane, and refers to the article on the Dominican Seminary on page 12 of the full sheet. Jane is well informed regarding religious matters. As a Catholic youngster, she had a teacher named Sister Januarious in grade school. She still remembers the sister quite well, for she made a good impression.

(End at 11:17. I do regret losing the envelope object for this session.)
