“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley was a witness to the session.)

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.

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.

(Jane said her mother does have a friend, Mary Miller, who did housekeeping for Jane and her mother when Jane was perhaps seven years old. Mary Miller is still alive. At the time Jane did not like her, she said. Mary Miller is the same age as Jane’s mother.

(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.

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.

([John:] “When I was in Rochester about three weeks ago I noticed a definite change in my boss’s features, while he was giving a speech. I’d say he appeared to be about fifteen years younger. Can you throw some light on this?”)

This was noticed by three individuals.

(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 Seth’s description of a younger man with a Slavic face and short prickly hair fits Bob Dineen, another salesman also present at the Rochester meeting. However Dineen’s hair, which was once brown or dark, is now gray. Seth had given him black or brown hair.

(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.)
