(See the tracing on page 169 for the test object for this evening’s envelope test. It was furnished by Lorraine Shafer, who witnessed this session. Details will be presented in the body of the session, as they developed. The last session witnessed by Lorraine was the 195th, of October 4,1965. See Volume 4.

The ego can perceive only certain portions of any given moment point or present instant, and it sees the moment point indeed as if it were one of a series of lights that approaches the ego from one side, and passes him by on the other side. The ego perceives this moment point, then, very much as if it were a flat cardboard-like object which comes, is flashed before him, and disappears.

(During break Lorraine asked if we still conducted envelope tests. When we said yes, she told us she had brought a test envelope with her. Moreover, it was one I had given her myself when she witnessed the 172nd session of July 26,1965. Handing her the two envelopes and the two pieces of Bristol, I had asked her to pick a test object, seal it up, and give it to me the next time we saw her, without telling me what the test object was. She had picked the test object last August, then mislaid the envelope and forgotten it; in addition I hadn’t asked her for it.

The object before him on the table does have checks upon it. Some are black, and the object is flat and of cardboard. He is in a robe, slippers and pajamas, with a door behind him. I believe to a clothes closet. (Pause.)

A miscellany of objects, designs that appear like numbers. A connection with a family record; as a page, for example, from a book.

(See the tracing on page 169. The test object is a visitor’s pass, produced by the Arnot-Ogden Hospital, where Lorraine is a secretary. This particular pass had been discarded; Lorraine picked it out of a wastebasket on the spur of the moment last August.

(Since the test object was picked by someone other than me, I had thought that some of Seth’s connections might be difficult to trace, and it appears to be the case here. Since the part of the data we can judge is pretty much on the ball, we think it reasonable to assume that the rest of Seth’s data may be equally good. Jane was pleased by the test.

(This is the first envelope test wherein the test object was picked by someone from outside.

(“A miscellany of objects, designs that appear like numbers,” is we think a reference to the words and numbers on the pass. “A connection with a family record; as a page, for example, from a book,” is a hit. The visitor’s pass contains a number code referring to Miss Bunn’s hospital record, Lorraine tells us; and the pass is like a page from a book, in that such passes are kept in spiral books at the hospital.

(Jane had no idea as to why Seth referred to a box again. She told us she enjoyed the test involving a more impersonal object, in the sense that I did not choose it. However Jane was as much aware of the emotional charges surrounding this object; she felt that she was quite aware of the emotional disturbances involved in a hospital stay in this particular case.

(I would like to add a curious note. Note that Miss Bunn lives on Wellsboro St. in Mansfield, PA. Mansfield is a college town about seventy miles distant. I was born there. In addition, my father was born in Wellsboro PA., a small town perhaps twenty miles beyond Mansfield. As far as I know Lorraine Shafer doesn’t know of my family connections with Mansfield and Wellsboro. She also told us she merely picked the test object out of a group, without paying particular attention to it.

This has to do with two separate principles. First of all there was a retention of image. Second of all, there was quite separately an association because of the size of the card given as test object. In the second case the association was Ruburt’s, for on his own he picked up a file-card image, but he translated this into the image of a box in which such file cards are often kept.
