“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For the test object I picked a black and white photograph of a dog Jane had owned when I married her. The dog, Mischa, is now dead. Jane took the picture before I met her, some 11 years ago. See the tracing on page 295. I slipped the photo between two pieces of Bristol, then into the usual double envelopes; the Bristol board prevented identification of the photo’s serrated edges by touch.

(I handed Jane the envelope. She took it without opening her eyes, then sat quietly, holding it in both hands. Her pause was brief.)

(Break at 10:24. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes remained closed, her voice quiet. She said that right after she had delivered the material on Dr. Instream she felt quite tired. She realized she was tired as she heard herself asking me if I had a test for her. When I asked if it was possible for her to change her mind and postpone a test under such circumstances, she said she did not know. Jane regarded tonight’s envelope test as pretty much of a failure.

(I had intended asking one more question, concerning the source of the material Jane gave on the envelope test. So much of it appeared to be of opposite or reverse nature to the test object that it seemed to fit a pattern.
