“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has her own records of the preliminary data. Shortly after 8 PM, as she was writing poetry after supper, she began to get impressions that made her quite uneasy eventually. They were difficult to put into words, but involved an accident, she thought, and a hospital emergency room.

(She also had impressions of Bill Gallagher, and a man named Tom whom she could not pinpoint further. She finally became so uneasy that she called the Gallagher residence. There was no answer nor was there any answer when she called again shortly before 9 PM.

(Since session time was near, Jane asked aloud that Seth interpret the subjective data she had been receiving. She wanted a clear and concise interpretation devoid of emotion, feeling there was little use in acting whatever the impressions said; she thought more objective data could be obtained through Seth. Therefore we sat for the regularly scheduled session at 9 PM as usual.

(However, Jane began to give impressions on her own rather than through Seth. These came as she wished however, quite calmly and objectively, and it was easy for me to make notes.

(I explained her error to Jane after the data given on her own was finished; if anything this added to her feeling of urgency, as will be explained.

(I said no. Jane was sitting as quietly as ever. In fact, much more quietly than she usually does during sessions.

(Break now from 9:31 to 9:37. Jane was easily out of trance, then back in. We had heard of Gardner Road before, though couldn’t recall any connections, or its exact location, etc.

(Pause at 9:40. This was rather lengthy. Then: “I don’t get anything else now.”

(I explained to Jane now about her error re what day it was. Since this was Monday, and any possible event was predicted for a Tuesday, Jane decided to try again to reach the Gallaghers. This time Peg answered the phone, at 9:45 PM.

(Peggy told Jane that Gardner Road was in Horseheads, and that she would check the address there that Jane had given in trance. Peg also agreed that she and Bill would be very careful riding their bikes. Jane was much relieved after talking to Peg, saying that before the call she had been “very uptight” over any probabilities involving accidents and the Gallaghers.

(My thought, based on data Seth has given, was that already the probabilities of any such accident had been considerably lessened, merely because the four of us now knew about it consciously. Jane and I hoped that Seth would come through with more information, since the evening was still young.

Such an accident would occur in a period of exuberance, rather than for example when he was driving in connection with his duties at work. In letting down, there is the danger that he would let down too far, forgetting caution.

Now, the information given automatically changes the nature of the probability that was foreseen, for in that probability no forewarning had occurred. Do you follow me?

Therefore the probability is already altered. Whether or not our Jesuit even knew of Ruburt’s impressions, that probability was altered. Knowing the impressions alters the probability further, and taking the steps that I have given still further changes the probabilities. So the information should in no way be treated as negative suggestion.

(“Was Tuesday night the most likely time for the accident?”)

(Traffic noise was loud. I repeated the question and Jane nodded yes.)
