“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At session time she sat waiting to see if a session would develop. None did, but she received brief notes from Seth: “You don’t have to worry about me drinking too much. I’m sick now from drinking what I did. Be comforting and put me to bed…. I can’t hold liquor. The problem will never arise. I drank too much and I can’t let Seth speak in his own voice, to answer my questions.” These Jane recited to me in her own voice.

I waited, wondering if something unusual might be taking place; ordinarily I would have ended the session. Now Jane looked puzzled. Four minutes.)
