“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.

Do not work Euclidean violence. Be gentle in your manipulations. (Jane spelled out Euclidean. At break it developed that she did not consciously know about Euclid, the Greek mathematician and geometer.) Now I think this is, with the psi factor, too harsh or sudden; too hasty a movement here will knock 7 off balance. Now weigh your values. (Pause.) No known method can now disturb them. (Long pause.)

There is work for you to do in here, as is proper. Close the door in the face of a constant and the elements converge. (Puzzled expression:) Have you considered 137 over 4 to the 9th? Speedy recovery. (Pause.) Your original equation staggers under the weight of imponderables. Mighty is the quadrant that cuts through the center of the source. The unshaken circle. The unshaken zero, gobbles two 7’s (pause), and structure or form is eaten away from the inside.

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.

...An encyclopedia of mathematical knowledge... Edinburgh... would have this guy’s name in it. It would seem to be in Latin. This theorem came up again in 1831. The particular volume or edition of the encyclopedia came out in the fall, and at the time this guy was working there was some kind of mathematical dispute going on, and a schedule set for some kind of conference to be held at the university for mathematicians from all around. The dispute had mathematical and philosophical connotations, because the ideas were wrapped up with science somehow.
