“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was witnessed by Virginia and Tom Milligan, both of whom are members of Jane’s ESP class. They had no questions for Seth prior to the session; Tom said he had been giving Seth questions mentally earlier today, and also earlier in the week. The Milligans have known for some days now that they would witness the session tonight.

I simply meant that at times you still worried as to whether or not he was a subconscious fiction in the writing sessions; but you did not feel this as strongly in your psychological-time experiments, because of the mental activity of your own that they provided.

That person’s ability to handle public relations would be highly important. Either there is an individual already in mind for that position, or the individual that would be chosen for it would not have the capabilities that it seems he would have. An overestimation of abilities, therefore. You seem to be the third man in this particular setup that I am now trying to describe.

(Tom said that on the whole the data meant quite a bit to him; he could interpret it, and did so at break. It concerned his job in banking, about which Jane and I knew very little. Tom did very well in making connections; the material was quite specific, and the longer Tom and Virginia discussed it with us, the more connections they made. “Except for the last two bits of data,” Tom said, meaning the opportunity to change his own position, and another, unseen opening.

(Some of Seth’s data was symbolic, Tom said, and explained just how he felt this was so. Again, Tom and Virginia stand ready to interpret the data in detail should the need arise. During break also, Tom expressed concern for his son in Vietnam. Resume at 10:39.)

(11:00. Again Jane emerged easily from a deep trance. Virginia agreed with Seth’s interpretations concerning her. Tom said Seth gave “some terrific material” regarding banking; he then proceeded to explain some of the details to us. They are not listed here, being rather complicated, but Tom has stated his willingness to explain them. Some of the material reaches back for years, Tom said, and involves his ideas re a “finance clinic,” etc.

(The merger material also applied, and Tom explained how he had been thinking of the second possibility suggested by Seth, the merging of two rather than three. Elmira and Syracuse banking facilities would be merged, with the Utica branch left out; according to Tom this would be a better arrangement, etc.

Again, you are doing very well. Bega is learning my material in our own classes, but he must also interpret this, and as I said earlier he tailors it for you, knowing you so well. Now, I adopt the personality that you know, and it is quite legitimate, but it is only one of my personalities. Know then that other personalities are also here, and in ways that you do not understand, and that is the end of the sentence. (To me, humorously.) The familiar human component is necessary, and it is by my characteristics that you know me, but the entity is an ancient one, and we are far more concerned with other things than your position at your bank.
