“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was held to obtains answers to two questions we had for Seth. Both pertained to Jane’s book on the Seth material, which she is just finishing. One question had to do with the oil showing two male heads which I painted in 1965. The other concerned the envelope test held in the 300th session. Jane is dealing with both of these points in Chapter Eight of her book.

(Jane said she didn’t feel much like having a session. It had been a hectic day for both of us. Since last night we had been discussing the illustrations for the book, and both of the above questions concerned illustrations.)

(This, then, was the question. The envelope object for the test in question was a piece torn from a hidden page of The New York Times. The piece was small in relation to the page, which I did not see. [Hiding it in the studio while my eyes were closed, etc.] Yet when Seth, through Jane, gave the test results, much accurate data was given concerning the full page that lay in the back room, as well as the actual small envelope object in Jane’s hand during the session. We wanted to know how such a thing was possible.)

(There were questions, but it seemed the above data would give Jane what information she needed for her book, etc.

(By this I meant to ask Seth if he planned to dictate a chapter, or at least a few pages, for Jane’s book on the material. Jane and I have talked about this before. But it can be seen that Seth doesn’t directly answer the question.)

There will be more material on the (ELM) units of which we have been speaking. (Jane may use this material in the appendix.) I wanted to tell you that when Ruburt sends off his book we will try to give you more information on the art gallery material.

(9:42. Jane’s trance had been good. It is true that we can still learn from the envelope test series, which covered a year. In reviewing test results on two items for Jane’s chapter on tests in her new book, we are pleasantly surprised to unearth several more excellent bits of information that we had overlooked earlier, etc...

(We found Seth’s data tonight on Jane’s reaction to tests very interesting. I talked about cases we had read about, where hypnosis was used to get the subject to focus only upon the test item, ignoring any other data even if relevant. The discussion veered around to our wondering how Jane would do under such conditions, when Seth abruptly resumed at 9:50.)

(A long time ago, Jane and I discussed this method of obtaining trance data, and decided not to use it for various reasons. We now are sure it was a good decision.)

(10:01. Jane’s trance had been good but she came out quickly. She didn’t remember the data.

(At 10:17 Jane sat to see if the session would resume. It did not. While waiting she told me she felt “real light, as if I could float up some place.”

(Jane said she didn’t really want to speak for Seth’s entity tonight, if that’s what she was trying to do, so I suggested she break it off. Jane said “things were significant in the room,” a phrase she has used before when preparing to speak for Seth’s entity, or Seth II as we sometimes call “him.”)
