“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.

(The session is quite unusual, in that all of it is devoted to experimental material of one kind or another. This includes the two usual tests plus the material delivered by Seth concerning our landlord. The landlord data arose out of one of those rather small incidents that keep accumulating emotional charges when most of the people involved turn stubborn.

One legal irregularity existing for twelve years. Business, an irregularity going back to an early small restaurant. An interesting sideline here: his stinginess in small matters is not so much the result of greed as an emotional attempt to maintain the psychic warmth of childhood, a childhood which was marked by poverty.

Notice also that little emotional content was contained in the test item. I like something better to get my teeth into.
