“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Important papers in a briefcase. An upsurge of interest in the doctor’s hypnosis experiments. (Pause.) Something now turned up, on a desk or table. I believe, again, a piece of paper with a format like a letter.

I pick up the initials R. B.. The letter concerns a particular event, a meeting which has not yet occurred, and it concerns another person also, beside the person who wrote the letter, and beside Dr. Instream. That is, another person in particular, though more may be involved in the event when it occurs. (Pause.)

The letter is from someone in the south or southwest. Or the other person who will be connected with the meeting resides in the south or southwest. (Pause.)

(See the tracing of the test object on page 140. It is of the front of an envelope addressed to Jane and me by my mother on December 1. The letter contained in this envelope figures in the test results, and will be kept on file with the envelope. The letter would be quoted here except that the contents are rather personal. It is of course available however to anyone seriously considering these tests, should they be that interested.

(“A framework” refers to the clear-cut single-line frame that borders Washington’s portrait on the current five-cent stamp. The envelope is addressed to “two people,” meaning Jane and me. The “assortment of objects and shapes” refers to the words making up the letter.

(Seth’s unclear connection with “a missionary” is interesting. My brother Loren is mentioned in the letter contained within the test envelope, and his father-in-law is a retired minister. The letter of course can be “A note”.

(“The mention of a time” is easily accounted for in the same letter. In it my mother discusses the visit Jane and I were due to make to my parents on Sunday, December 5th. The date was not mentioned, just the word Sunday. My mother then canceled this visit of ours by telephone, and Jane and I then journeyed to visit my parents in Sayre, PA, on the following Sunday, December 12. It was on this visit that I obtained the test object used in the last session, the 217th.

(Jane said she was sure “Something square” referred to the dimensions of the test envelope when it was folded, although it does not measure out as a perfect square. The “connection with four other people” works out well, since the letter concerns a situation involving both my parents, my brother Loren and my brother Bill, other than Jane and me.

(“Something that two people know, and two other people do not know,” is good, since my mother’s letter specifically concerned such a situation. Jane and I were the two who did know, and my parents were the two others who did not know. This matter was straightened out on December 12.

(Jane said she was confused while giving the data “A connection with an address that is not your own.” She wasn’t sure Seth meant an address that was ours, or was not ours, so she tried to relax and let it come through without distortion. And of course the letter came to us from an address not our own. “Something to which no reply is expected,” is also good, in that we were due to see my parents within a few days after my mother wrote to us.

(In Session 201, see the drawing I made following Jane’s instructions, after her psy-time experience. Note the similarities between that art and Peggy’s drawing above. I added the lettering to Peggy’s drawing, as well as to Jane’s second version of the same scene, shown on page 162.)
