“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The man who offered the suggestion to Philip may not realize himself that the original idea was not his own. It originated with the white-haired man. Very approximately here, his age—because of the hair color I am not sure—maybe 47 to 67, for his face is not old though his hair is white.

(John witnessed the 313th session on January 18,1967. He told us this evening when we met that he had been asked to run for county commissioner by the assistant district attorney of his hometown, Williamsport, PA, but did not tell us anything else particularly. John was asked to run since the 313th session, and has turned down the offer; it would involve a financial loss.

(The assistant district attorney is Clint Smith. John said that the senior partner in Smith’s law firm is named Murphy—hence the M initial. He is closer to the 47-year age limit, and has whitish hair. He is fuller in the face than Senator Dirksen, as Seth states. Murphy is also a Republican, as Dirksen is. John met Mr. Murphy just once, briefly, he states, and has no idea of the man’s position in politics, his influence, etc. It is possible that Murphy influenced Clint Smith.

(John stated that his brothers-in-law live in Philadelphia and have no connection with John in Williamsport, or his political activities, etc.

The M did refer to the person Philip mentioned during rest period. (Murphy.) And the expenditure to do with his household.

One small rather insignificant point, Joseph: the man for whom Ruburt works—the name, Miller—is also the name of one of his mother’s old friends, though she was a woman. The similarity here somewhat unfortunate.

In regard to Philip, a separation of elements I do not understand. A division of duties or some such, I do not know. Not a subtraction necessarily. A readjustment of sorts pertaining to work I believe. If anything working to his favor.

(John verified Seth’s material regarding his wife, Mary Ellen. She is getting into the sale of Sarah Coventry costume jewelry, and in fact is attending a business meeting tonight. Mary Ellen is scheduled to attend, or have, a Sarah Coventry party soon, on a Thursday afternoon or evening, John said, and will be involved with four other women in particular. The five total could be that Mary Ellen herself is the fifth; as well as Mary Ellen herself, the other four women are holding Sarah Coventry parties for her. There will of course be more than five women at the parties.

(John said the separation of elements or dates could refer to the political office he was asked to run for. Since the income would mean a loss to John, he thought it might be supplemented by his holding a sinecure of a job at the same time; said job being furnished by a member of the political organization. John said this is often done in political life.

(See page 253 of the 313th session, describing a change of features John saw transform the face of his district supervisor recently at a meeting in Rochester. I asked Seth to discuss this phenomenon after break.

On the other hand, he should also protect himself from personal remarks made by the chiropractor, through suggestion of his own, although this situation is better than it was. In his case at this time symptoms on the left side of the body have reference to early associations.

He should at present to some small extent decrease the salt in his diet. Also, add eggplant and continue with the yoga exercises. Wear green more often. The vibrations from the color in his case at this time are therapeutic.

The difficulty in wearing his sneakers, for example, is not physical. They remind him of a pair of his mother’s shoes.

External affairs involving Ruburt’s book will of themselves bring about a renewed physical vigor shortly. However it is to his advantage to solve these problems on his own before that time. Sometimes he wants to be too certain that his feet are on the ground.

One changed his opinion of the man, and for the better. Dark hair somewhat in a circle, with some of the head bare. An Andy Gump with a paunch. A long nose, and eyes with a twinkle. From a place with an Indian-sounding name. And just perhaps an E initial, pertaining to place of residence or name. And maybe an H.

And a man in his 50’s. Some overweight, round. Something odd about his suit or clothing. Gray pin stripe. An interest in history. In an intermediate position in the company. A man known as a squawker.

(Regarding the data on page 260: John said Seth’s description of an Andy Gump type fits a salesman in his company named John Winslow and that JW was present at the Rochester meeting three weeks ago, during which time the transformation took place in the features of John’s district supervisor. Winslow is about 55, with brownish hair that is now graying. It is cut short and is circular in shape, with no widow’s peak.

(John said the man in his 50’s mentioned by Seth could be Stan Farrer. Farrer is John’s regional manager, which would be an intermediate position in the company, Searle. He wore a gray suit at Rochester, John said, but not a pin stripe. John also said he doesn’t know whether Farrer is a squawker; it is possible by contrast simply because most of the men don’t say anything.

(John said that his boss was very nervous that day at the meeting in Rochester, when the transformation took place in his features. John’s boss knew he wasn’t doing well in the company these days. The regional manager that day also took over a big segment of time at the meeting that John’s boss would ordinarily be expected to use. The regional manager thus seemed to run the meeting, be on stage, etc. John said he could understand his boss’s feeling of desperation, which led in turn to the transformation.)
