“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The photo is of a winter scene, with brilliant contrasts of light and shadow. I have indicated the colors crudely in my tracing on page 242 . The group of four sit on the edge of a concrete patio at the back of Bill’s house. I did not mention a test to Jane, but she is well aware that they are in the offing now; earlier in the day she casually mentioned tests, without asking specifically whether I had one planned for tonight.

I have an impression of a road or a tree; that is, of such parallel lines. I have an impression of afternoon, an impression of three people, of dirt or dirt color, and shadows or shadow shapes, perhaps of pyramid form.

Again, I have the impression of a white border, and perhaps on the other side, of writing. The shadow shapes are dark, and contrasted with light. I have the impression of chimney shapes.

Now, I knew this was a photograph. Ruburt however, through association, made certain deductions. He picked up from me the fact that children were involved. He picked up the road and the pyramid shapes. This led him to think of his old home, for in the afternoon the shadow of its roof threw a pyramid shadow form upon the road.

(During last break we had speculated about the photograph being taken in the afternoon, because of the elongated shadows on the white snow. I will check with my brother in Webster, hoping he can remember after six years. It seems reasonable to agree with Seth; I do not believe such shadows can be found in the morning during the winter months.

(See my sketch of the photo on page 242. The baby, in white sits on the lap of my brother’s wife, Ida. The pattern of his clothing and blanket forms a triangular shape, very similar to the shadow shapes on the snow; these forms can be called pyramid easily enough. The baby perhaps did not come through as well as the other three figures because of a lack of contrast.
