“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 23rd envelope test was held this evening during the session. For the test object I used the front of an envelope addressed to Jane and me by my mother. I folded it once as indicated, enclosed it between two pieces of Bristol, and sealed it in the usual double envelopes.

(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.

(“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.

(“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.

(The test object is “Paper with printing,” the printing being the machine-applied cancellation, in my opinion, rather than my mother’s handwriting. “Your handwriting,” meaning mine, does not apply.

(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.
