“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After listening to me discuss the second question for a couple of minutes, Jane said she had an answer to it, or at least a partial one. Her material was presumably from Seth, although she would give it. Just as she began speaking she was interrupted by a heavy knocking — first at the door to the public hall that separates the two apartments we occupy on the second floor, then at each of the apartment doors themselves. A feminine voice cried out for Jane. We waited. The persistent racket, penetrating the wind noise, meant just what we thought it would: an end to the evening’s session. When I opened the door I faced a comely but very agitated woman whom I’ll call Barbara. She was probably in her early 40’s. An expensive suitcase sat beside her.

(After two frustrating hours I took her to a motel. The wind had abated considerably, but the night was much colder. When I returned I was able to tell Jane that Barbara had made a decision. Tomorrow she was going to journey by airplane halfway across the country — to see another psychic who would surely be able to help her.

(Barbara insisted that she wanted help, but as in other cases that Jane and I have encountered, her focus upon her distress was so intense that we couldn’t breach it; certainly not in the little time available. Neither could Seth, who eventually came through — a course of action Jane hardly ever allows to happen in that kind of circumstance. Barbara just couldn’t grasp that she was creating her own reality.

How one chooses to define “spring” also enters in, of course. Astronomically, spring in the Northern Hemisphere covers the period from about March 21 to June 21 or 22, although many just think of it as embracing March, April, and May. (Jane was born on May 8, I was born on June 20. She’s half English, one-quarter Irish, one-quarter French and Canadian Indian. My English ancestry is leavened with a bit of Irish and German.)

(I shouldn’t have been surprised last evening to hear Seth say that such an impetus had triggered Jane’s Sumari abilities, for today, when I reread the 598th session for November 24, 1971, I was reminded that he’d said the same thing then. [...]

[...] Her parents had divorced when she was two years old, and since her mother did not remarry Jane grew up without a father.² Jane and “Del” met again, briefly, when she became 21 years old in 1950. [...]
