“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Steve and Tracy Blumenthal visited Jane at the hospital last night and me at the house afterward. We talked mostly business, and Steve is going to contact Pete Harpending about a number of matters. I told the kids that they could lose their shirts in their proposed Seth Production Company, just so they would know various possibilities—and probabilities.)

(At 3:15 I read yesterday’s session to Jane, after she tried unsuccessfully to read it herself. Even when I read it, she said, she “couldn’t absorb it very well” for some reason. I massaged her neck. I answered some mail. At 3:35 Jane told me to get my paper and pen ready in case Seth came through.)

(“Afternoon. Seth.”)

(3:48. Sharon Poley walked in to take Jane’s temperature [98 degrees]; she came in without knocking while Jane was speaking for Seth in a voice deeper and stronger than her regular voice. Jane spoke Seth’s last few words while Sharon was at the foot of the bed, then broke off as soon as she saw Sharon. Sharon didn’t give any sign that she noticed or heard anything unusual—and looking at Jane, one couldn’t tell that she was in trance.

(After Sharon had left. I asked Jane how she knew, as Seth, that Sharon was there. “I don’t know,” Jane said. “I just saw her. I think she might have noticed something, though it’s no big deal.”

(There hadn’t been that much to notice, I said. Jane’s voice could be attributed to her obviously dictating something to me, which everybody around knew she did each day. When I told Jane I didn’t think she’d answered my question, she said she saw Sharon as Seth, not being that far under, and that the reason for that was that “I think you sort of guard yourself in a place like this. It would have been different at the house.”
