“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Notes on the first session in which Jane tried deliberately to contact a survival personality for someone else. Present at our apartment were Jane and me and Jerry Kramerick, of Elmira.

This room seems to be less closed in than the one planned… and will make him feel less trapped. If he walks in the night and is restless he will have more freedom without bothering others… (Long pause, eyes closed.) You will have to give me a moment here…. (Pause.)

The song, “Little Brown Jug, you and me…” (She liked this.) 1936 (bad accident and lost child), and it seems to be connected with an appendix operation. (Did have an appendix out. Long pause eyes closed.)

I just picked up something about Jerry don’t do something, connected with snow. This is my interpretation: Don’t shovel snow? I’m just guessing. It takes me a while to get back in this. (Jerry broke leg, falling in snow. Billie disturbed.)

(Even in trance Jane felt the effects of these blows, for as she continued to talk she rubbed her left hand. I spoke to her rather sharply, and would have interrupted the session had the physical violence continued. This ended, but now Jane had taken off, evidently wrapped up in the role briefly, for she shouted at a fast and furious pace, shaking her head violently, eyes closed. I was not able to get all she said on paper, but got the gist of it and key phrases. There were many swear words, and the fact that Jane halted at most of them, leaving them implied instead of spoken, reassured me that she was trying for control in the situation.)
