“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.)

(The above data refers to some questions Tam had asked Jane earlier. )

(To Tam:) Your inner attitude could slow you down. There must be an inner security, a quiet ... No agitation. Allow the door to open, do not kick it. You will be given a full reincarnational reading, whether now or later. It will be yours to follow.

(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.)

This helper is known to you in this present existence, but is not our friend here. (A smiling gesture to Tam.) It would make a lovely story. Give me a moment. (Pause.)

...Do not be overanxious to develop your abilities ... (To Tam:) You must be in control... This is extremely important. When you work with tables, work with those who are experienced in such things...

(Here, speaking rapidly, Seth went to some pains to emphasize to Tam the importance of the individual being in full control of his abilities, letting them develop slowly and naturally at all times so that the individual would feel at ease with them. He used the speeding-car analogy to hammer home the point.)

(To Tam:) Personally, your healing abilities are stronger in early evening, as opposed to the rest of the day. You should practice using them daily... even when passing someone on the street. This opens new channels... helps you learn to handle them...

([Tam:] “Thank you, Seth. Thanks again ...”

(4:05. We now thought this might be the end of the session. Jane’s trance had been good. Tam told us that he now does try direct healing on persons he passes on the street—one of the points mentioned by Seth. Tam hadn’t mentioned this to Jane before. Tam said a lot of what Seth commented on concerned ideas he, Tam, had been speculating on to himself.

(I ran an errand to the store not long after this. When I returned Jane and Tam informed me that Seth had come through again. This time the material concerned, among other things, plants and thoughts; Tam being very interested in plants and related subjects. Since we have no notes on this material, Tam said he would send us a brief resume of this last delivery, to include with these notes.

(On this visit also Tam read the 418th session, of June 24, 1968. In this session were perhaps a page and a half of Seth’s clairvoyant data re Tam and Miss Carr. This was given before any of us had met, and when any kind of communication between Jane and Tam was just beginning. Tam was able to verify quite a lot of the data; some of it referring to Miss Carr was good. The last name of Cecile Grossman, an editor at Prentice-Hall, was mentioned by Seth, for instance. Tam noted the correct data in the 418th session, so this material has now been checked at least once.

(Tam & Jane experimented also, feeling heat from hands without touching.)

(Tam Mossman and Eve Naudain, witnesses.

([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.

([Tam:] “I’m afraid we can’t.”)

([Tam:] “Don’t worry, I’ll stick to bonsai!”

([Tam:] “Do you mean the cape I had on in my dream?”

([Tam:] “Like the ocean image spread out underneath me?”)
