“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.

First however I have a suggestion for Ruburt along the following lines. He is now at the point where he can greatly improve the condition of his eyes, and his vision, through consistent self-suggestion. The following phrase should be beneficial: I am relaxed and at ease, and confident. I can see easily and well.

His feet are tired. He thinks of an umbrella, and is now in a very small room or enclosure. He holds something up high that dangles, as from a chain or string. It dangles freely, like a pendulum, and he watches it. (Pause.)

He has his glasses off. His left foot has been bothering him. He wears a green robe with a tassel on the belt ends. The tassel is yellow or gold, or there are bands of yellow or gold by the tassels. He may have a late caller this evening. (Long pause.)

I think of five nickels, perhaps in his pocket or on the bureau in a small stack.

(“A connection with music” can result from the fact that Bill played jazz on a phonograph at his gallery during the exhibition in which I participated last winter; he plays music also at each exhibition he presents.

(Jane’s relations with this man became so acerbic that she left his employ in the fall of 1964. At the time Seth said it was a wise move, and that from that point on Jane would do well with her writing. This has been the case. Seth also dealt rather extensively with the conflict between Jane and the director of the Arnot in the following sessions: 74, 75, 77, 79, 82, 84 and 85. All of Seth’s material on the situation has worked out. At the time, we found the psychological information contained in these sessions very helpful. See Volume 2.

(Jane and I encountered her ex-employer at the reception at Bill’s gallery last winter. Jane was acting as an unofficial hostess. In introducing this man to another couple, or trying to rather, Jane discovered in mid-sentence that she had forgotten his name.)
