“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

The man has been himself an artist, therefore. He may be the uncle of the man who runs the gallery, per se, but he has a strong voice in the gallery. At one time connected with the school of ashcan art. Do you follow me?

A ten-hundred block referring to one of the locations given. (In the last session.) This may refer to 72nd Street, and Fifth Avenue.

The Jerry leads to Lewis, and there is a connection here, but not the one you would suppose. There is an Italian connection. This place is not the 6th Avenue, 61st Street mentioned earlier. You follow here. This is the second occasion.

(At least consciously, I hadn’t been considering any such ideas involving fruit, although the ideas here are interesting ones.)

(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.

There are two things operating. Crosson, not admitting it to himself, is afraid that he cannot hold an audience sufficiently and he wants help. He has been saying the same things over and over. He wants to be the one to introduce someone new, someone who will be known in the field, and added to his crown.

(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.

He will ultimately be of help to you in ways you do not now foresee. He is bungling and frightened but he waves brave banners. (Pause.) Ruburt is one of his discoveries. He has not fulfilled his potentials, and he knows it, and so he tries to be self-important. But he means well. His wife is his support. He has not always been treated kindly by the psychics that he knows. In many ways he was shoved aside because he did not have the courage of his convictions earlier. (Long pause at 10:25.)

At times he can show malice, but in small ways, not harmful ones. Now you may end the session or take a break as you prefer.

Your attitude in any case toward the meeting should be a relaxed one, whether you go or not.
