“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On Sunday afternoon and evening we were visited by Andrija Puharich and Joyce Petschek. We had a most enjoyable time. Andrija recorded Jane, Seth, and Sumari—all of which saw Jane coming through at her best. He is to send us a copy of his tape. Tonight I asked that Seth at least comment upon the visit, since I had the feeling it marked a turning point for us as far as our attitudes went; about meeting others, etc.

And we will have a quiet session, after our last extravaganza. There are several points I would like to make. We have a lot of work still cut out for us, but you will find that it will be handled very easily—almost automatically, requiring little notes but ordinary transcription.

(10:05.) Give us a moment. Rest your hand, and get our friend some beer.

The gentleman who wrote you from Canada (Vincent Vycinas)—the writer—is living out his cultural agony. (The name of VV’s book is Our Cultural Agony.) In his case the drugs are being used so that they can be blamed for a malaise that is spiritual. They give our friend the excuse physically for a retreat from the world. He feels that he has lost his power, because he does not believe that the individual, with all his capacities, really has any effective power in the cultural world.

Some scientists and people in parapsychology will learn of our work through your friend because of his travels. He is a friend of yours, though you met him but once—yet in your work as always keep your counsel. My heartiest regards and a fond good evening. I will not begin dictation this evening, but hopefully we will begin again in our next session.
