Session 349: Briefing Doc: Cosmic Vibes and Lettuce Warnings

This briefing document dives into the insights from Session 349 of The Early Sessions, Book 8 of the Seth Material, recorded on June 28, 1967. It was a short, unscheduled late-night hang with Bill Macdonnel and Joanie Gilbert acting as witnesses. The session kicked off after Jane Roberts (referred to by Seth as Ruburt) had been playing some tapes, setting the perfect stage for Seth to drop by and share some wisdom—and some fairly specific health advice.

The Cosmic Forecast: Predictions and Dr. Instream

Seth didn’t hold back on the "future-casting" during this session, offering some pretty specific details regarding Dr. Instream and others.

• The Departure of Dr. Instream: Seth predicted that Dr. Instream would be "joining" him soon, specifically by February at the latest. He noted that Instream was living in a town starting with the letter "A" and predicted the cause of death with the somewhat poetic phrase: "An excitement of the heart… Dr. Instream will die of an excitement of the heart…"
• Medical Mentions: The session highlighted names like Doctor Brownallen (or Brownaline/Allen Brown) and claimed a write-up regarding these events would eventually appear in the International Journal of Parapsychology.
• The Wisconsin Connection: Seth mentioned that "Wisconsin material" would soon develop and would involve Jane’s work.
• The "S A G" Warning: In a classic "watch your back" moment, Seth warned Bill Macdonnel—who was about to go on a tour—to avoid anyone with the letters "S A G" significantly in their name.

The Great Lettuce Intervention

Perhaps the most humorous and "chillingly" accurate part of the night involved Joanie Gilbert and her leafy greens.

• The Verdict on Salad: Out of nowhere, Seth told Joanie to back away from the salad bowl. He stated: "Our friend here should stay away from lettuce… There is oversimulation, reacting upon her system… that does not enable her to correctly perceive the nature of her own experiences…"
• The Confirmation: While Jane and Rob had no idea, Joanie later admitted she had a lifelong habit of eating an entire head of lettuce at a time, snacking on it like most people eat candy or pretzels. This "direct hit" of psychic data left the room a bit stunned.

Astral Travel and Mental Projections

Seth also cleared up some confusion regarding a previous psychic encounter Bill had experienced.

• Seeing Double: Seth explained that during a previous projection to Bill’s room, Bill saw Seth but didn't see Jane, even though both were technically there.
• The Cigarette Illusion: Bill thought he saw Seth with a cigarette. Seth corrected him, explaining: "The cigarette was your own construction, representing your inner realization that the cigarette-smoking Ruburt was there but not present. I smoked cigars."
