“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Two unscheduled sessions were held on May 28 and May 30. Jane also had a long unscheduled session last night. All three of these sessions were for ESP classes.

(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.

(9:50. Jane said that just before the session began, she had a “flash” to the effect that another Kennedy was to be involved in a tragedy, or that the present situation involving Senator Kennedy would evolve into another tragedy.

(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.)

(Pause, eyes closed. There followed a three-minute pause as Jane sat quietly in the rocker with one hand raised to her eyes.)

(10:34. Our cat had become caught behind a venetian blind, and was making a racket trying to get free. I freed him then deposited him behind a closed door while Jane sat waiting, eyes closed.)

Occlusion (Jane looked at me questioningly concerning this word and I nodded) for Kennedy. Pressure on a frontal lobe. Perhaps a hole, or another hole drilled to relieve pressure. With all of this and his knowledge and acceptance of his role, and his choice of the role, there is still a tremendous will on other levels to survive within your system. And a chance for rally.

(By June 7th, articles were carried in the newspapers explaining how there had been damage to the cerebrum also—the forebrain which is the seat of thought processes. Jane did not know this at the time of this session, for it had not been publicized.)

(There is a bar in Elmira, The Dahlia. Jane wondered after the session if this was used as an associative link.)

(Again, learned via TV after the session: The assassin evidently belonged to a pro-Arab, anti-Israel organization of an inflammatory nature. Jane knew of his Arab identity before the session.)

(Again, seen on TV after the session—the two brothers of Sirhan, in Pasadena, CA. One is named Adele. Jane did not know this before.)

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

This time, 1317-1351. (Long pause.) Beside him a table and a golden goblet. A red velvetlike chair, with ornate wood. (Eyes closed, Jane made gestures.) Draperies behind a self-portrait he did of himself. (Pause; pace slow.)

(11:20. Jane appeared to be on the verge of falling asleep.

(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.

(Jane said that she saw the scene with Van Elver, as she described it to me; including his self-portrait. Very colorful and strong.)
