“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] As it happened Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who witnessed the first part of the 158th session, were again witnesses.

(Because of the witnesses the session was held in our living room. [...]

[...] As I believe I suggested over a year ago, the present witnesses are most beneficial, and I would suggest on some evening when the time is available, that we take advantage of their help, and hold a session under circumstances that allow us both larger scope in terms of quality and in terms of time.

(As far back as the 63rd session, Seth had remarked upon the fact that Peg Gallagher would make an excellent witness, since she had well-developed subconscious abilities. [...]

I did not find it of much real purpose to give reviews during our sessions, particularly since new witnesses will come. There will have to be some method, and I leave this up to you, Joseph, some method of filling witnesses in on previous sessions. [...]

(At 7:50 Jim Beckett arrived to be a witness. [...]

(By 8:55 Jane was nervous as usual, though not because of the witnesses. [...]

[...] were witnesses to the 47th session. [...]

(The Gallaghers witnessed the unscheduled session, the 182nd. Lorraine knows them superficially, having witnessed a few sessions with them. [...]

(Lorraine Shafer witnessed tonight’s session. [...]

[...] Suffice it to note here that this was Jane’s third test before witnesses. [...]

(In the last session Seth said the possibility existed that we would have four or five witnesses for the session tonight. [...] However no witnesses appeared.

[...] The Wilburs, who have witnessed several unscheduled sessions, consented. [...]

(“What happened to the witnesses we were supposed to have?”

[...] See page 326 for the data on the expected witnesses for this evening’s session.)

(Sue Mullin was a witness to the session.

[...] Nor, because you ask specific questions at a specific session, and I answer them, does it necessarily mean that the program has not been prepared, in your terms, earlier; for on many occasions I will see the questions within your mind, or the minds of your witnesses, and will therefore answer them, in your terms ahead of time.

(As Seth talked the witness felt a series of intuitive jolts that led her to believe the information was good. [...]

[...] The witness said the data contained many intuitive insights, etc., citing especially the material re ambiguous relationships, etc.)

[...] Ruburt’s personal feeling is important as far as any witnesses are concerned, and while I did suggest a witness to him tonight the choice of the witness was his. [...]

[...] Idly she wondered how our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, would be as a witness. [...]

[...] At 8:30 she had no idea of what Seth would talk about for the session, but she was increasingly aware of a feeling that Seth wanted her to ask Leonard in as a witness. [...]

(“We tried to get a witness for the session tonight.”)

[...] Don and his wife Marilyn were due to witness the 248th session on April 4, but last-minute developments prevented them doing so. Don left the sealed envelope he had prepared for the session with me, however; I kept it until the Wilburs were able to witness a session. [...]

(Ann Diebler also witnessed the session, for a total of three witnesses. [...]

[...] When the Wilburs discovered they couldn’t attend the 248th session as witnesses on April 4,1966, the day the photo used as object tonight was taken, I saved the object for future use when they could be witnesses, as explained. [...]

[...] The whole test was very interesting; and all the more so because it was Jane’s first before witnesses.

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who have witnessed several sessions, visited us this evening, Friday, September 3. Our conversation touched upon many subjects. [...]

(Seth told us that he merely wanted to join in the general conversation, as he had during the unscheduled 182nd session last weekend, which the Gallaghers also witnessed. [...]

[...] The first test in the presence of witnesses... [...]

(As Seth talked the witness felt a series of intuitive jolts that led her to believe the information was good. [...]

[...] The witness said the data contained many intuitive insights, etc., citing especially the material re ambiguous relationships, etc.)

[...] The witness other than myself was Mr. Raymond Van Over, associate editor of the Parapsychology Foundation of 29 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019.

(Jane said later that Mr. Van Over’s comments concerning W C during the session were distracting; she has made this remark before after sessions; it seems the mere sound of another voice can disrupt the flow of data, unless she has specifically asked for comment from witnesses.

Now the universe speaks in many voices, and it can indeed speak through a leaf if you have the wits to listen. [...] It can speak in the silence of a room if you have the wits to realize that beneath sound there is what our friend, the physicist over here, might call antisound. [...]

(This afternoon John Bradley, who was our witness for the 26th session, stopped in to ask if he could be a witness for the session tonight. [...]

[...] After the glaring distortions of last session Jane had decided that she must relax, witnesses or no, so as the time for the session approached the radio still played, and we played with Willy, our cat, and exchanged banter with John.

[...] Yet she said she felt better than usual, and this was true with a witness present also. [...]

[...] She said that the presence of a witness apparently made no difference at all. [...]

(John Bradley, of Williamsport, PA, was a witness to the session. [...]

(Perhaps because of the presence of a witness, Jane was nervous before the session began. [...]

[...] John Bradley said the material was much harder to follow, when given verbally, than it was the last time he witnessed a session. [...]

(John Bradley was a witness to tonight’s session. He has witnessed many sessions, usually stopping in on his trips into Elmira as a drug salesman. [...]

(The 303rd session was held on November 26, 1966 with Eugene and Sarah Bernard as witnesses. [...]

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were witnesses to the session. As usual the presence of witnesses fired Seth up. [...]

You will need to use your wits carefully, for secondary realities will often appear to be primaries. [...]

(The most obvious instance of a change in Jane’s features occurred in the 68th session, and was witnessed by Bill Macdonnel and myself in full light. [...]

(John Bradley was a witness to the session. [...]

(The session was also witnessed by Estelle and Dave Craig, 1750 E. 21st Street, Brooklyn, New York. [...]

[...] After supper Jane received another call from Estelle while they were en route, and then we realized the effort being made by the Craigs to witness the session.

[...] There was no witness there, and he expected his death to bring out your own strengths.

(Richard Bach and his editor, Eleanor Friede, who witnessed the 618th session for September 28, 1972. [...]

(During the 618th session, which Dick and Eleanor witnessed, and during which I manifested the Nebene characteristics by quizzing Jane about reincarnational data for Dick and Eleanor, Jane also “saw” Nebene by my chair—as she had on the previous occasion some months ago when Sue Watkins was present. [...]

You are witnessing the birth of a phenomenon. [...]

(The session was witnessed by John Bradley, our friend from Williamsport, PA, who attends a session occasionally. [...] The last session John witnessed was the 204th.

[...] As is often the case when witnesses are present she seemed to draw upon extra energy; her pace was fast from the start, and her voice stronger and somewhat deeper than usual.)

[...] This is just about a standard first reaction from witnesses for whom Seth has given such material; offhand Jane and I can think of no one who has reacted differently. [...]

[...] This material is somewhat long and complicated, and is covered in the sessions John has witnessed: 37, 54, 63, 70, 95, 135, 166, 190, 204. [...]

[...] Before laying down she had instructed her subconscious to inform her as to whether we would have witnesses, but upon arising she still had no answer. Jane then expressed a desire to obtain in the future as firm a commitment from witnesses as possible, well in advance of the session in question. [...]

(In spite of the fact that we are all good friends, Jane grew somewhat nervous as the day wore on, because the Spazianis had never witnessed a session, although both of them are interested in ESP, and Jim has read a great many books on the subject.

[...] We discussed various alternatives, finally deciding that Jane would sleep for at least half an hour before a session whether witnesses were due or not, and whether they were present or not. [...]

(John Bradley was a witness.)
