“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On Friday evening, September 5, we had as visitors Dick and Carol Crossed; Edward Gassner, 3664 Culver Road [14622], and Bernard Houlihan, 25 Ewer Avenue [14622]—all of Rochester, New York. No session was held. Ed Gassner offered to do work with Jane and Seth; he is a biologist, Ph.D.

Now. You will be making contacts with the world at large. These will be part of your work, and they will add depth to your work, not detract from it, as long as they are kept in their proper perspective. Overemphasized, they could be detrimental, but if you fear them you are also giving them undue importance. They will also serve you as supportive, particularly in later years.

There will be developments and friendships that will emerge that will directly concern our work in general, and help spread the material. Over a long period of time such contact will serve you well. One man in particular whom you have not yet met, will give Ruburt an idea for a book, through his questions, that will be most remarkable.

Some of your best sales, so to speak, will be made as a result of contacts that have been built up in other ways. There will be several men you will meet in this same manner. Two men, (pause), each of whom will serve as a basis for a rather unique kind of portrait work. You will see both of them very clearly as they appeared in several lives.

You will do a series of portraits of one man, each one depicting a different materialization of his personality in various existences. This will be true portrait work—the personality as seen in more than three-dimensional terms. You will meet both men at parties in New York, and one man directly through the Miss Taylor who called this evening.

(It had been suggested that Jane do stage trance work when addressing the SFF meeting. Jane had decided she wasn’t interested in this type of stage presentation.)

He will not make a practice of contacting the departed for their relatives. It is not his forte. Otherwise he should leave himself open. If probabilities continue as they are now, there will be some considerable relationship with the group Miss Taylor represents through the years. It will work to Ruburt’s benefit as he meets other psychics with excellent abilities. He can also learn from the experience.

Ed. This could have been her husband, or a man close. (Ed was the name of BT’s first husband, she told Jane over the phone.) A middle name beginning with B, or his nickname with a B who worked in a building that from the outside looks like a large (pause), building almost entirely of unbroken plate glass windows on the ground floor, such as those that cars might be displayed in. A corner building, I presume, since I see one side of the building, where the other side is flush to others.

The divorce was a distortion (pause), not of memory but of interpretation, representing a psychic separation that occurred between you, not in 1964 but later, when Ruburt became ill—and to some extent (underlined) you did hold him back, as you know from the work with the pendulum that you did. You were for that time divorced from each other in attitude, and lacked communication.
