“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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

(As predicted by Seth in the 420th session for July 1, 1968, Prentice-Hall is to publish the first book on the Seth material. Jane was notified of this over the Xmas holidays, and signed a contract earlier this month. See Volume 8 of this series.

(Seth also said that Jane and I would die within a short time of each other, when our earthly work was finished. No date or sequence was given. Seth said that Jane would publish 5 books on the Seth Material; 3 novels; 3 books of poetry; plus 2 books to be dictated by Seth himself. I do not recall if the dream book, now at Ace, was mentioned; or if others were.[Jane died in 1984. I’m publishing Volume 9 in 2002.]

(Seth was in a particularly good mood this evening, after the long holiday break, and because of the presence of witnesses. Jane entered trance easily and spoke vigorously, rapidly and with much humor. Her eyes opened often. The pace proved to be so fast in the beginning that I soon gave up trying to keep abreast. I also discovered, to my surprise, that I was somewhat rusty at taking notes.

Ruburt was correct. He received a message from me this afternoon. There will be another development, and a good one for him.

(Earlier today Jane had said she thought this development referred to the dream book, now at Ace Publications, and that a sale was quite possible.

(See the 418th session for June 24, 1968. There was an interruption now as the paperboy called, while making his rounds collecting.)

(To Bill G:) I was here the other evening (1/3/69)...looking over your shoulder... The Jesuits do not miss anything, you see... They are always given to specific answers... We are oftentimes amused, but always delighted.

(There was more here, and it led into an exchange of jokes between Seth and Bill G.)

(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...

(Jane’s trance was a good one, she said. Her pace here was quite fast. After a break she resumed as Seth at 9:45.

(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.

(There was more to this humorous exchange that I did not get down.

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

(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.

(A few impressions that were particularly apt were September 1943, the Detroit connection, the spikes-for-hair, the lawsuit type of trouble, the family situation similarity, and the profanity. Tom C. was a prolific profanity man, according to Bill.

(To Peg: An exchange here followed which was too quick for me to get down, so it is here summarized. After joking with Peggy about interviews, cameras, etc., Seth said in time that he would interview Peg, who by then would be “notorious,” or better known. I don’t believe he said just how this would come about. Seth also told Peg there was some data she would need, that she would request it herself, about the crisis in her own life approximately 6 years from now.

Forget the referendum, and look in the back of your desk drawer for a bit of information you have forgotten. Your initial analysis was correct.

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

(This after quite an exchange between Bill, Peg and Seth, as an attempt was made to lucidly describe the item in question. The discussion proceeded rapidly and I missed most of it. At the moment Bill could say nothing about Cincinnati, etc.
