“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See page 277 for a tracing of the money order used in tonight’s 9th envelope test. This was returned to me a few days ago; I had written a paper company requesting samples. They sent the samples but returned the 25¢ money order. On the spur of the moment today I decided to use it for the test, and enclosed it in the usual double envelopes. I also enclosed the money order itself between two pieces of thin Bristol, to make it difficult for Jane to unwittingly pick up anything by feeling the shape of the object within the envelopes.

Slides or pictures may be shown. I believe he had two visitors today at his office, in particular. One not a student. (Pause at 10:19.)

Something two times, in duplicate, or as twins.

Again, something to do with two people, perhaps several, both males and females. The idea of rock and water and many colors, and a connection with a note. (Pause.) A place which you have both visited. Numbers. Too many people for comfort. A border.

(The large numeral TWO is stamped in red on the money order, as the upper limit of its worth. Since it is for 25¢, there is ample room there for “something two times, in duplicate, or as twins.” Two people involved could be Jane and me; she purchased it, filled it out and mailed it for me, along with a note to the paper company that I wrote. “It’s a duplicate [mentioned in test] of a money order,” Jane wrote later. The paper company is located in New York City. Both of us have been to New York City, and felt that it contained too many people for comfort. The money order has no border. Multiplicity of design, a very general appellation, could refer to the many numbers on the money order I suppose. Jane wrote my name on the order, but it does not bear my handwriting on either side.

(I regard the test as quite good at this stage, especially the reference to me via initials, and the note, something two times, and a landscape of a landscape. Jane as usual was disappointed.

(Now Jane opened her eyes and looked at me. But they did not stay open for more than a sentence or two.)

(Blanche Price is an old friend of Jane’s, living in Baltimore. The two women have not met often in recent years; Blanche was Jane’s instructor in French at Skidmore College, in Saratoga Springs, NY. Last year while visiting in France Blanche suffered a rather severe stroke, but seems to have emerged without permanent paralysis. We would say she is in her mid-or-late fifties. A few days ago Jane received a copy of a book of poetry of Blanche’s that has just been published. Blanche knows about Seth, but little about the material itself.
