“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley was a witness to the session. John brought with him confirmation of some of Seth’s predictions given in the 439th session, to Jane’s pleased surprise. The data involves personnel in John’s company, Searle, and is somewhat complicated. John is going to go over the session material, using his recorder, to sum up Seth’s predictions to date re Searle.

(Dave and Estelle are both 32. Dave is a disc jockey, and had auditioned for a job in New York City today. Estelle took shorthand notes of the session. Seth spoke rather rapidly this evening, and I missed notes in a few spots, which will be indicated. Estelle’s notes may be more complete than mine, and for this reason we plan to exchange copies of the session.

(The five of us spent perhaps an hour getting acquainted before the session began. Seth began speaking rapidly, in a voice a bit stronger than usual, eyes open often, etc.)

([John and I:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

The boy was briefly with you for his own reasons. He was to enlighten you, and so he did. He was of an ancient entity, and you have known him in other lives. He wanted his mother to look inward. He was at one time, he was at one time his father’s uncle.

It is not the time for you to run willy-nilly, looking for truth in any treetop—the truth is inside your own skull, and you at least know how to find it; but discipline and intuition is involved. Your son is not a three-year-old any longer. He is an entity older than you, and he has tried to point the way to you.

The child knew well what he was doing, and subconsciously you also knew. He is not an infant to be pitied, nor a child taken from you before his promise was achieved. He was a personality who left you when his own reincarnations were finished. (In here I missed a few words because of Seth’s faster pace. Copy added after receipt of Craigs’ copy on November 22, 1968. See also page 141.) He returned to help you and show you the way. He is at present resting. He will not return, but go to another reality where his abilities can be used to more advantage.

I have never given you trouble, Philip. (Philip is John’s entity name according to Seth.) The trouble that you have is of your own making.

(11:10. Jane left trance rather easily. Ruburt is Seth’s entity name for her. A discussion now commenced among the five of us. Questions arose out of the discussion, and Seth returned in a couple of minutes to answer some of them rather vehemently if briefly.)

(Jane resumed as Seth after break at 11:11.)

(Again Seth spoke quite rapidly and I missed some words, while retaining the gist of the data.)

(Here I asked Seth to slow down and received a humorous reply. Corrections made & added after copy received from Craigs on November 22. See also page 139.)

Now, I have lived and died many times, and you must admit (Seth speaks strongly and humorously, forcefully, eyes open) that you can sense my vitality; and so I can tell you that the vitality of the boy exists in as vital terms. It would have been indeed almost a penance for him to have stayed here longer. You did not save his life one time, you helped him save his soul, and he gallantly returned the favor; for he at one time was tempted to use his abilities for power and to use the priesthood for gain, and on that occasion you stopped him. (Seth pointed to Dave.)

(Again, I had to ask Seth to slow down when the pace was too fast for notes.)

(11:30. Seth again ended on a strongly humorous note. The pace had been fast, as noted. Dave told us he had been good in math until the ninth grade, when he left it for other interests—singing, communications work, acting, etc.

(Dave now gave us much of the information I’ve incorporated in the notes at the beginning of the session. Seth resumed at 11:47.)

Now again rest for the scribbly fingers, and we shall continue. (Seth now pointed to John Bradley.) And for you, the time to move is not yet.

Now give me a moment for Philip. (Pause. Then Seth speaks to John Bradley.) The triangle symbols, Philip, stand as they have been given. (See the 439th session.) There is yet another man to fall. The time to move is not now. When the time comes the suggestion will come from others, so that it will seem that you are doing them a service—and then you graciously accept.

(Again, see the 439th session. John’s question above was not taken down by me verbatim, but is a close approximation. The falling of the man from the first triangle was predicted by Seth in the 439th session, on Sept. 30, 1968, and took place a few days before this session.)

No. The information as I gave it I thought to be particularly clear. (Now Jane, as Seth, pointed to Dave and Estelle) And yes, here, for another child—one who needs to be cherished and guarded and has a fate to fulfill in physical reality, who will need you. You needed your son. The other child will need you.

(“Well, I guess it is time to end it, Seth; with everybody’s consent.”

([From the four of us:] “Good night, Seth.”
