“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This a long session, given for Tam Mossman and Eve Naudain, of Prentice-Hall and New York City. It began at approximately the time noted above, and continued through most of the afternoon.

(Some of the material obtained is verbatim, some is not because of Seth’s rapid delivery. I made no attempts, seriously, to slow him down. The very beginning of the session is not recorded because I was working in the studio in the back of the apartment when Seth came through as Jane, Eve and Tam sat in the living room.

(The stage had been well-set for the afternoon session, however. Tam and Eve had arrived in Elmira the day before, and much of the ensuing conversation had been about matters psychic. Tam had witnessed a session before—the 434th on September 6, 1968—but Eve had not; she was a little nervous before the session began, and like many others was surprised by the session’s actual beginning and its manner of presentation.)

I was here last evening. (Humorously:) Far be it from me to frighten a young girl (to Eve), although the girl is not so young and the girl has not always been a girl.

(Here Seth refers to various moments during the visit of Tam and Eve, when he was ready to come through, but for various reasons did not do so.)

A moment. (Pause. Then to Eve:) This will have to be filled in later. Ireland—you were an Irish lass, and a minstrel. Now I do not know offhand when St. Patrick was roaming—at a time however before Christianity was introduced—you lived in the country now called Ireland... before the Christian Era...as a man given much to wandering and without a permanent abode.

(After session Eve verified her stated love of music & rhythm by Seth, etc.

([Tam’s Notes:]The following represents a spontaneous session that occurred after Seth had been kind enough to come through three times for Eve and myself. Robert Butts had gone out for a while, and Jane, Eve, and I were chatting. I could feel Seth’s vague presence in the room, which Eve apparently didn’t. Jane went into the kitchen to see about the chicken she was cooking and — as she later told us— felt Seth coming through and hurried to get back to her chair.

But I wanted to clarify some points... (Previously, Eve had wondered how Seth felt about her, so Seth turned to her.) You are a delightful young lady... (He advised her to assert herself more, to be less cautious in going after goals. He said she should use her “abilities” —though he was not specific.) And you will. You will.

You have nothing to worry about in terms of possession. (He then implied that spirits that had left the earth were seldom responsible in the first place.) Worry itself will, however, induce (he may have said “duplicate” ) a state similar to the preliminary stages of possession. (A person) never becomes possessed unless he has requested it, (when he is not interested in, or afraid of life, and would like another to take over the job.)(Eve recalls that at this point, he added:)
