“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane felt much better today after hitting something of a low spot recently. Today also saw the shooting of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. John Pitre phoned this evening from Louisiana, with three questions for Jane. These concerned John’s uneasy feeling about his wife Peg, last week; the strange loss of feeling in his legs in hot weather; and an effort to learn something from Seth about a pilot who disappeared some four years ago in a light plane near John’s hometown, Franklin, LA, which is close to the Gulf of Mexico.

(We did not know which personality would speak this evening, nor what subjects would be covered. We sat for the session as usual at 9 PM. As it developed Seth spoke the entire evening, in a voice about as usual, with pauses, eyes open often.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Note that here Seth implies that Senator Kennedy, who was alive at the time of this session, would die. In fact the Senator did die the next morning, close to 5 AM, EDT.)

(Before the session Jane did not sense the pyramid or cone effect, as she usually does when Seth’s entity is to speak. Then Seth came through.

(During break I wondered aloud if Seth had to communicate with his entity before getting permission to speak. I did not really mean to use the word permission, meaning instead whether there had to be any sort of understanding or agreement between the two personalities as to who would hold the session, or at least begin it. The funny consequences are apparent when Jane resumes as Seth at 10:00.)

(As noted, we turned on TV immediately after the session, and saw some of Seth’s data seemingly begin to bear itself out. Probably many weeks. however, will have to pass before we learn the full story behind the Kennedy assassination; then this data can be more accurately evaluated.)

(Here Seth refers to several clairvoyant dreams Jane had, referring to two recent deaths in our circle of acquaintances.)

(“Nice to hear from you, Seth.”)

(Seth paused, rather than withdrawing, so I asked a question.

(Seth paused, smiling faintly, eyes closed.)

(Here Seth refers to a portrait I am working on without a model, of a bald man with rather young features. He is fully bald, and as I painted it I wondered why he was bald. See the 401st and 402nd sessions. Seth then gave the artist’s name as Van Elver, saying he was from Norway or Denmark and that he was giving Seth painting data to be passed along to me.)

(“Okay. Good night Seth, and thank you.”

(I called Jane’s name three times. She acknowledged faintly, without moving, but in five minutes her eyes were open. I had not touched her while calling her name, forgetting that this was the full procedure suggested by Seth in such instances. Jane wanted me to touch her, she now said, but was unable to tell me to.

(After Seth withdrew, she said, the energy was still around her and she didn’t know how to get out of it. She needed the touch for physical reassurance. The state, she said, was like being lost in work, but much deeper than this.
