“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was witnessed by Carl Watkins, of Odessa, New York. Carl studied math for two years in college; reading the first session, he said that the ideas presented by Jane in trance made sense to him; he cited some examples to us and worked out some figures, especially concerning quadrants, and drew some diagrams. This proved interesting to us and we understood it while Carl was speaking; later however because of our lack of background in math we found it difficult to recall what Carl had said.

(Jane said she had felt her facial expression change, as described; at this time the data began to change, she said, from the abstract into an emotional personality who was responsible for it. Thus one of our questions was answered, if vaguely. The personality seemed quite upset, and would have gone on to become very emotional and vehement if my wife had chosen to let it continue in that direction. But having a little experience by now, Jane said she knew when to withdraw from the raw emotional encounter while in trance, and did so.

(To our surprise, Seth now came through when the session resumed. The change in Jane was remarkable. She brightened at once. As Seth her voice was strong and on the loud side; eyes open often and very dark, pace good, smiling often. 10:37.)

—I will come in to close our session, and let you know that I have been in attendance. A silent partner. (Amused.)

And my welcome to our friend here. (To Carl.)

Congratulations to our mathematical genius, Ruburt. He did well. The information came as given, and under my sponsorship. It was a valuable lesson for Ruburt. (Pause.) I helped in some periods of transmission.

I have come through to help Ruburt sever the emotional contact, and at Ruburt’s request. Overall I am pleased. This was an experiment, and worked very well. I thought Ruburt might like to get some information directly from someone who had a greater interest in such matters than I, and I paged our good friend.

(A check of the dictionary shows there have been 12 Popes, but our source does not list most by date. Pius the VII was Pope from 1800-23, Pius the IX was Pope from 1846-78, etc. We have no dates for Pius VI and VIII.
