“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 30th envelope test was held during the session. I cut out ten small pieces of colored construction paper, put them between the usual two pieces of Bristol board and sealed them in the usual double envelope. I was aware that there wouldn’t be much emotional charge connected with these, and Seth was too. As is the case also, Jane did not do well on the resumption of such experiments.

I do not seem to see a courtroom situation however, but a settling up, or an agreement to settle up. An admission and settlement of some kind, through a lawyer. Perhaps a penalty paid, but with no confinement. A lawyer convinces him to settle, and avoid going to court, and through certain manipulations this part of it will be taken care of. (Another long pause.) Some money will be borrowed. The hill property will be sold, or used for collateral. Stocks will be sold. He will not lose his own house because of this.

Now. Our object is a small framework (pause), small as if made of matchsticks. It is light(pause), and miniature, and formed of squares. I do not believe it is solid all the way through, but with open spaces in it. Some of the square shapes may be open.

Now I pick up the word granger, but do not know to what it refers. (Pause.)

Do you have a test for me?

The number 12. Several people who do not seem to be related.

(From what Seth says after break, we saw the connection with cloth, evening, and an endeavor that does not work. Jane and I bought this colored paper to use in an experiment whereby, blindfolded, we tried to determine the various colors by touch alone. This after we had read an article in Time Magazine about a woman who had been able to do this. Our tests had been held in the evening, and our results reached chance level only.

One part of his whole personality is able to help me very much at times, but other portions simply cannot. I mentioned specifically Ruburt’s impression that the item had to do with a particular letter purposely, to tip him off, so to speak.

A very few legitimate impressions came through. The cloth connection had to do with distinguishing the color of cloth, which was mentioned in an article that you read. The other legitimate impressions I believe you have already picked out.

This is indeed a training period, and at sometime in the future we will have greater opportunity for range. You see how well we do in a spontaneous manner, as with Philip.

Do you want any more snow?

One note: since much of this session has to do with personal material concerning your landlord, I did not mean earlier to point out to you your own reaction, Joseph, which has been excellent to the situation in general.
