“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now if you please, give me a moment, and I shall use it well. (Pause, eyes closed.) These are simply impressions. I shall make no attempt to unscramble them at this point. They will have to do with our new friend. (Venice.)

A guild or a group of artisans. A father of three children, one of whom later becomes a member of a parliament. (Pause.) One of whom joins a profession that had to do with keeping records of water levels or consumption, (Jane shakes head) this being a civil employment.

We are getting something here that is not clear: a small instrument used that seems to be the size of a thimble, but with (pause) something that resembles a slide rule on the top. This was the method of obtaining the data from which the water records came.

The wife dies young. She was of foreign descent, I believe French. Her people were destroyed in a plague. Her family name (pause) … I hear it, you see, but I do not see it (pause)… You will have to work phonetically: V I S W A (repeated), from some place near Bordeaux in France.

(Pause. Jane paused often while giving this material.) We will try here… Joseph… The name of the town was either S A C O (spelled), or this formed the main body of the name, you see.

The owner of his own business. (Pause.) The town situated between one mountain range and a smaller plateau, rather midway between the north and south portions of the country. In the second group of states now, or from the West Coast… But more to the eastern section of this second group, you see, to the inside.

Now then. A Saint Cecelia Church here. The name Mathiatus (phonetic) I believe was shortened to another version, perhaps Methus. (Phonetic. Pause.)

Your first name, then, was Grace. (Long pause.) There were five children who lived and two who did not. Here we find you very ambitious.

I am again, as I have said often, an energy personality essence, which means quite simply that I am a personality who does not now operate within the physical reality. I can at times impress your physical reality, but the focus of my existence no longer involves a three-dimensional psychological structure. (Pause.)

I have lived in physical terms within your three-dimensional universe, and I am aware of that universe. My main existence however is in a dimension of which your third-dimensional reality is only a part. I can therefore perceive, for example, portions of your future, simply because the future is only an illusion that exists in three-dimensional reality. (Pause.)

So there is a projection of consciousness on both of our parts to some degree. Now, I like the type of questions that you ask (to Venice), and I enjoy an inquiring mind. Do you have any other questions? (Pause; voice good, eyes closed.)

Now give us a moment. (Pause.) We will see what we can do with our spiritual firebug here.

You want the answers to the wrong questions. You want me to deprive you of experience that you need, and in the reality in which you now exist, and in which you are learning very well to manipulate. You shall not get in the habit of having me tell you what will happen. I say this in all good humor and with due affection. (Pause, smile.) Do you understand?

Within your reality there are procedures with which you must deal. There are many occasions when a glimpse into your own future will be of benefit, and then you shall have them. (Pause.) Questions as to the nature of reality and of existence—these will serve you better, and I believe that you know this already. You are learning very quickly, for that matter.

He was dissociated enough to allow knowledge to come through that he did not realize he possessed. (Pause.) There is a rhythm-making talent here to some extent. Also I believe an unrecognized ability to work with numbers.
