“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

On April 17, 1968—I got request from a Tam Mossman to do a book on Seth Material, using portions of the best chapters from dream book that deal with Seth.

Now. For Ruburt’s benefit: There will be considerable movement and activity concerning his book in the month of February, and some travel on your part. The initials SM here. A short gray or white-haired gentleman. You might say prematurely white or gray, in his 40’s. Perhaps around Valentine’s day: in that general area. There will be an inquiry, a request for Ruburt to do a book from another publisher. The book involving me.

Now for Philip: Some impressions, if you will give me a moment, please. The death mentioned earlier will still occur. The physical ailment already is in existence and is being treated in privacy. An initial encounter for him, with a new individual, in business. I do not know if this is immediately past or immediately future.

([John:] “Do you want me to answer that now?"

(Pause.) The number three, you see, is strong here. I do not know if it refers to the third grade or a child three seats away.

I keep picking up the J initial all evening. There is a schedule of events that will not be followed, and a time schedule that the company will not meet. The new product may be the result of an error, for its benefits are not yet realized. Give us a moment on this. This, Joseph, is an attempt now (points to Robert Butts, eyes closed) for Ruburt does not know terms. M I or MY and a word that sounds like ocean, or M E O plus a C sound and a word that sounds like ocean. To do with red and white blood corpuscles, a deficiency, a check upon the deficiency, and an alteration of nervous reaction patterns. A two grain… gram tablet. Initially a byproduct of another investigation. The product the end result of an experiment initiated for other reasons, you see.

Now give us a moment please. A woman in connection with your wife, an aunt or female relative, who will or has recently come up with an idea that is jarring or will be jarring to you. Some far west connection with yourself or your wife, further west than Chicago. Do you have any questions?

We will try to separate the father from the son here. The man to which I refer is not terribly advanced in age, but he is at least 50. I do not believe he is over 80. At times he has a nervous twitch. He drinks coffee without milk and wears black shoes. This would seem to be the father. But if so, he has more drive than the son. The characteristics given however do apply to the man who is ill, whether it is the father or son.

Ventricle, now being affected, and a secondary circulatory impairment resulting. The symptoms however are felt in the area of the shoulder blades. Some connection with injections which will antagonize or infuriate the basic condition. Do you have any questions?

([John:] “This western connection and a female relative of my wife’s. Do you have anything else on this?”)

A connection with a letter or phone call and a small child. I am not certain, a female child. A suggestion having to do with projected changes. I do not know whether or not this refers to a change of dwelling, but a large change. A connection here with flowers that I do not understand. Perhaps a connection with spring: A stone structure, a house, I believe, a strange tree, the word hycynthia.

He will, as always, do well. An involvement with three men in particular, a room he will think inadequate. Arrangements having to do with the amount of air, either poor ventilation or failure of an air conditioner. A scrambled afternoon: two appointments not kept, one later kept, a caucus… caucus?

Now we will shortly end our session. There will be an ultimate move west rather than east, with the company circumstances maintained, things being as they are now, and probabilities as I see them. The impression of an M here. I do not know if it refers to a town or state. It will not be immediate. It will be rather to the south and west. It will not be to any place that there is an opening now, that is, you will not fill the position or the particular position will be reopened. It will be a better position than you anticipate and in a leapfrog development, so to speak.

With this company. You will leap over a step that is usually taken, to another step. You will get a position without going through another position that is usually a prerequisite, you see. June and a series of three having to do with time: A city by a river that runs north and south; perhaps, perhaps the Mississippi. Not far south at all. Now unless you recall me, or unless you have questions, I will end our session.

([John:] “You say that ultimately I will go south and west, and a connection with the letter M. What do you mean, ultimately?”)

Within a period of three years. If you do not go within one year, then you will not go until the third year. This was the series of three referred to.
