“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A turn up, something turned up. A photograph. I think of white, snow white. A house. A connection with the past, and with your parents.

(The design on the napkin covers one quarter of the surface area, and it was this quarter which was “turned up” to us when the waitress placed the folded napkins on the table before us. There was of course no photo involved, or a house or any connection with my parents, or the past.

(Jane felt that “white, snow white,” was valid data, even though she was thinking of a certain photo of my parent’s house, taken when there was deep snow. She saw this white as very bright. See my notes on page 109. When the ultraviolet lights were turned on in the discotheque, some colors were activated more than others. The light was actually quite dim, but the ultraviolet made anything white appear to be blinding white-paper, socks, white shirts, etc. The effect was very striking. The napkin was of white paper.

(Jane said that as she began giving the data, the association she made with Seth’s data, “white, snow white,” led her to consider the particular photo of my parents’ house taken after a deep snowfall. She said that at this stage of her development it is very difficult for her to tell when such personal associations enter in, unless Seth himself notes it by saying “Ruburt here thinks of a photograph,” etc. Jane said she saw the photo in her mind’s eye, but that as she continued to speak, she eventually received a hazy picture, a “nebulous impression,” of a bar. She did not mention the bar in the test data, and indeed had forgotten it until our discussion of the test brought it back to her mind.

The important event had to do with some kind of a family nature, and involved one of the two dancers, and their parents, or the parents of whichever girl was involved. I believe the event concerned the other dancer, the blonde.

The snow white referred to the colors, or to the color, rather, of the napkin in the light. The snow I used merely because the white was so blinding, and this led Ruburt to his own associations, concerning your parents’ house, and a particular photograph which was taken in the wintertime. But we managed to continue on after this, to deliver some fairly decent impressions. He is still learning, and it is quite all right.
