“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon while painting I had a vision. With my inner eye I saw the face of an older man, facing to the left in full color. I made two pencil drawings of the image. It was quite clear, especially about the eyes, nose and mouth; and later I realized that I had been “seeing” it for at least a few moments, almost absent-mindedly, before I understood what was happening.

(I had prepared a test envelope to give to Jane during the 181st session, of August 25, but did not do so because of the short session. When the envelope was not used I did not mention it to her, but saved it for tonight’s session. It contained part of a calendar page for April 1965. I came across the calendar beneath a stack of books and on the spur of the moment decided to use it for the test, wondering whether this type of cut and dried subject matter would have as much emotional pull for Seth/Jane as the subject matter of the first two tests. See the 179th and 180th sessions. Jane was out of the house when I prepared the usual double envelope.

(Her eyes opened soon after she began speaking, and she continued smoking. She was quite restless. Most of the time she spoke from a sitting position. Her eyes closed at times for a sentence or two. They were very dark, and her voice was quiet and fast. Resume at 10:00.)

The number five, and several buildings. Much space. Something to do with two people, and a yard. Wind, and blue, perhaps a dress.

(The test paper was folded once. The number five was on the calendar side, in the upper center. Directly back of the number, on the other side of the paper, were two buildings, one an erected house, with just above it a floor plan of another. There was a yard, and trees, and a blue simulation of blueprint paper in back of the floor plan.

(Thus it seems that Seth traveled through the thickness of the paper, picking up impressions as he went along, and did this at least twice. He also mentioned “two people...perhaps a dress.” There were no people on either side of the test paper. Checking the whole calendar however, we noted there was a drawing of a man and a woman on the upper section of this particular page, but that I had left them behind in clipping out the test section. They would be about four inches removed from the clipping, and stood before another drawing of a house. We do not know if this is a legitimate interpretation of something “somehow connected with what we have here.”
