“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.

(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.)

(I wasn’t too happy about the interruption, but agreed to it. Rooney, our black cat, had been injured somehow in the left front leg, so that for the past four days he had been moving about on three legs. He was now scratching at the door to go out.

It moved twice in the past two years however, for added space. This is the third location, and in the first location it was run by a different man. There is a woman connected with it who will remind Ruburt of her Lydia (Nesbitt), and a connection with Charlotte.

(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.

It should also include some other reproductions of your paintings as they apply to your psychic personalities. This will also help publicize your own work. It will also add interest to the book. I told you that your portrait of an old woman was yourself as a mother, and that should be included, as should the portraits of Ruburt and Joseph done together.

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.)

Now. The repressed nature of Ruburt’s fears was responsible for the symptoms at your first encounter with the Crossons. This has been largely cleared.

I was not trying to be foxy. The name is Foss. I do not know the spelling.
