“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session this evening I wondered what effects Seth might be able to demonstrate, on a consistent basis, if a candle were lit just before each session, as a matter of routine, and then ignored as much as possible. The idea being that if it became part of the regular session routine Jane would forget about it, thus allowing any possible effects to come through without worrying about them. At first I was joking about the idea, but when Jane said it was all right to go ahead with the idea, I took her up on it. When we were set up for the session, I placed a lighted candle on the shelf beside me, behind some books so that Jane could not see it. Since the room was well lighted the candle flame would make no noticeable difference, in the event it flared up while her eyes were open.

An event at eight, last evening, in a different room than the room in which a previous meeting was held, that she attended.

An item recently purchased. A connection with a February event. A circular object of sun or moon shape. A color green. 1965. A connection with two other people, I believe male and female.

(“A connection with a February event,” is the show at Harris Hill Inn, arranged by Roy Fox. “A circular object of sun or moon shape” does not mean anything in particular to us, although on the walls at the Inn were various circular objects, such as clocks, a barometer, etc. The same applies to “A color green.” Many of my paintings, being landscapes, are predominantly green. The show was held in “1965.”

(Jane would like me to add here that she believes the envelope test data of this evening developed the way it did because of the emotional content of events involving Jane, Roy and myself. Whereas Roy’s blockprint, while appealing to us both, was comparatively lacking in such emotional content, intrinsically.

(Jane now sat quite still. Her eyes remained closed, The candle was to her right, approximately at right angles to her body as she sat facing forward. Remember she could not see the candle in any event, since it was hidden behind books, and that the room was well lighted. As the moments passed and Jane did not move or speak, I had plenty of time to observe that her eyes did not open. The candle was some three feet away from her, and well away from any draft possibly created by her breath, for instance.
