“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was witnessed by John Bradley and Bill and Peggy Gallagher.

(To John:) There is also a development to come about here ...

(There was more here that I missed. Then Seth spoke to John:) I warned you. You could have avoided the condition, you see... (Gout.)(It came about) through your mental attitude... It was not fated... but a matter of probabilities...

(9:30. Jane now took a break, I wished for full notes because of the humor flying about, but had fallen way behind. Seth then returned briefly when John, during break, asked Jane a question related to the causes of gout.)

(To John and Bill:) Now. This applies to anyone, so if I look at you consider yourself the symbol of everyman. And this applies also to you. (To Bill:) You have very simply two alternatives. You either take the time and the effort to look into yourself or you do not. If you take the time and the effort, then I tell you, Jesuit, you will have no terrors of the flesh. While you do not take the time you must put up with it, and depend on your doctors...

(To John:) The pills that you dispense... These to some extent mechanically and chemically bring about changes that can be brought about mentally.

([John:] “I can’t argue that point.” John sells for a drug company.)

([John:] “Not specifically. [Pause.] I can’t formulate a question right now. You go ahead. I’ll ask you later.”)

(Here Seth refers to the copies of sessions concerning John and his company, Searle, that John has carefully kept. John is also to make a tape for us, correlating all the data, predictions, etc., that Seth has given him to date.

([John:] “You say a development will occur shortly.”

(John Bradley said much of the data was good, and he will cover it in detail in his projected tape. There are two regional managers in the Searle organization who are brothers-in-law. One of these, Steve Chase of Los Angeles, has black-tinted hair. The other, George Striker, is in Skokie, Illinois. John thinks Chase is the more progressive of the two, and is of the opinion that in any clash between these two men a southern regional manager, Don Robinson, would be in a position to pick up pieces. John told us more that is not covered in these notes.

(John’s wife’s sister is named Evelyn, and so would be the aunt of John’s children. This family has been involved with travel, and at the moment lives west of us, in Ohio. John said there is a tie-in here with some earlier material given by Seth concerning family travel and Hawaii. This data will also be covered via tape.

Now give us a moment. (To John:) I am not sure here, so I will go slowly...

([John:] “This is true.”)

(Jane took a break at 10:28. Her trance had been good. John Bradley said at first that he knew of nothing he is taking into his system that would encourage fluid retention. He said he very occasionally takes Metamucil, which is inert.

(Seth was hovering about as John talked. John then said the Metamucil contained dextrose, a sugar, which could lead to fluid retention.

(“I beg your pardon,” John said, “the Metamucil would then—”)

(There was more here I did not get down. My notes do not indicate what, if anything, John said about the possible electrical effects. A long break now ensued.

(To John:) No specific questions...?

([John:] “Does anything depend on what goes on at the meeting next week? Is anything going to happen?”)

(To John:) Your Stan now has four counts against him, and he has lost his fifth. (There was more here.
