“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For the envelope test I used a pair of name cards made by our friend Bill Macdonnel for his art studio, the Cameron Gallery. Bill gave us these cards perhaps a year or so ago, shortly after he opened his gallery. Each card is handmade and thus somewhat unique. More than anything else, I was interested in seeing if Jane could distinguish that the test involved two objects. I placed the cards between two pieces of Bristol board, then sealed them in the usual double envelopes.

(The design on Bill Macdonnel’s handmade name cards can be “The shape of a star” as far as conventional symbols go. At least it can to me, as an artist; Bill is also an artist. Jane and I drew a blank on “a particular event, with some unpleasant connotations” at the moment.

(We could make many interpretations of “The number two.” My personal idea is that “The number two” refers to the fact that two items comprise the test object. We did not know what to make of the color green impression. Any painting in Bill’s gallery could be “A representation.” “Two people” is also open to many interpretations. “Yourself a year ago” I regarded as valid, since I had paintings of my own on exhibit at Bill’s gallery on the occasion for which he made these cards; and the event took place around a year ago, although I do not know the exact date offhand.
