“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.” )

(Jane sat quietly in trance while I left my seat to turn on the air cooler set into one of our living-room windows. It was a very hot and sticky night. The cooler didn’t make so much noise that Seth had any trouble speaking above it.

(Before the session I had asked Jane if Seth could give me some more data on the art and gallery material begun in the last session. I was going to try to put it to practical use, I told Jane not to try too hard, though, to get more data. She said that the impetus would be strong to help me on these subjects. I was a little surprised to hear Seth start right in on the gallery data.)

(9:44. Jane was slow coming out of trance. She said traffic noise had bothered her at the session’s start, until Seth had me turn on the cooler. Then her trance had been deep, though she remembered the cat episode.

(Then Jane surprised me by saying that Fox was not the name she had spoken, re Jerry A. She was very definite—that Fox wasn’t correct, saying I had misunderstood her. She thought the name was Foss, instead, although she was not as positive here. We speculated about Foch or Foche; Jane said the name was one syllable with a softer sound than Fox—hence Foss. We thought Seth would clear the matter.

(Seth refers to Betty Taylor, one of the editors at Harper’s. She told Reverend C. that she would call Jane this week, but as of August 20, Wednesday, has not done so.

(Before I could finish the question about the name, James A Fox, or Foss, Seth spoke out quickly and forcefully.)

(“Good evening, Seth, and thank you. 10:45.)
