“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Tonight we were not sure what Seth would discuss, so just before the session I asked that he talk about the seance held last week, representing the 435th session. We wanted more information on Jane’s obviously real and deep emotional reactions during this.

(Jane made the humorous remark that she hoped she was “more than a doorway that Seth walked through.”)

(At 9:26 the phone rang, interrupting Seth. To my surprise Jane got up from her chair and answered. Her eyes were still heavy and I could tell she was only half out of trance.

(The call was from Callista Buffalin, a widow now in her late twenties, who had lived in our apartment house until about two years ago. Callista’s husband Buff was killed in a car accident in southern Pennsylvania a few months ago; Jane had a vivid dream giving many details of this event the evening before it happened, although we hadn’t seen the Buffalins for some time previously. We haven’t seen Callista since Buff’s death.

(Callista called Jane to tell her about several psychic experiences of her own, both before and after Buff’s death. One of these involved Callista knowing that her marriage to Buff would be short, and his death. As Jane offered Callista reassurances on the phone, she got the impression that Callista would remarry.

(After hanging up, Jane said Callista also mentioned her young son James. In telling me this Jane said Callista had foreseen events concerning James’s death. This was a slip on Jane’s part, for Callista had actually said James’s future.

(Jane resumed at 9:55, in a rather slow manner.)

(Jane’s trance had been deep but she came out fairly easily. She at once said she had the strong impulse to call Callista Buffalin back. She hesitated because she wasn’t sure about the data’s accuracy, but also because she didn’t want to unduly upset Callista by talking about her recently deceased husband, etc.

(Jane did call Callista back, however, and checked out the data with her item by item. Callista decided to visit Jane later in the week, when a more thorough check of the material could be undertaken. But in the meantime there follows a summary of C B’s comments re the data via the telephone.

(The books were covered, and when she was through looking through them Callista covered them up again; so, Jane felt, it seemed they had been undisturbed. This took place just before C B’s call to Jane at 9:26. The act of covering may refer to the “scrap of evidence” impression, but we personally discount it.

(The package data, concerning a package arriving for Buff after his demise, is correct. C B told Jane a package did arrive; it contained something Buff had ordered for a nephew.
