“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 31st envelope experiment was held during the session. The test object is a leaflet concerning highway signs to be used in case of an atomic attack. Jane and I picked it up at our local Bureau of Motor Vehicles the second week in January, when we went there to inquire about the delay in receiving my new license plates. I had ordered them December 3,1965; as will be seen this date plays a part in the test results.

(This leaflet had a good emotional connection to Jane, since a very few days before we went to the bureau she had a dream concerning an atomic attack, radiation, contamination, etc.; in the dream she saw a building and a floor plan that were very much similar to the actual layout of the local bureau. The data contained in the leaflet closely paralleled the dream; therefore Jane was quite pleased to discover stacks of these leaflets at the motor vehicle bureau. She had not been inside the bureau for at least a year.

(“Some connection with a magistrate of some sort.” When Jane and I went to the Elmira Bureau of Motor Vehicles to inquire as to why I hadn’t received the license plates I had ordered several weeks prior to mid-January, we found the office very crowded. We stood in line for perhaps fifteen minutes. Then a man I thought to be a policeman entered. I succeeded in talking to him, and saw by his shoulder patch that he was a sheriff.

(“and an occurrence that was not repeated.” The sheriff told us the bureau was flooded by mail requests for plates and was very much behind; indeed they had just begun filling mail orders a day or so before our visit. The sheriff advised us to return a few days later if we did not receive our plates. Although we didn’t receive the plates by the day he mentioned, we did not return to the bureau as he said to do, but chose to wait a little longer; the plates arrived the next week.

(“An afternoon.” Jane and I made our visit to the motor vehicle bureau in the afternoon.

(“Two men, one taller than the other. Both of them at one time or another.” This I felt to be a rather far-removed connection involving myself and the service manager of the Ford garage in town that keeps our car running. He is a friend; visiting us over the Christmas holidays, he urged Jane and me not to wait too long before making personal inquiries at the bureau, to check and see if they had received my application. I am the taller of the two referred to.

(“Connection with a note, and money.” As stated I ordered the plates by mail, enclosing a money order in payment, on December 3,1965. Since they had not arrived as the holidays approached, I wrote a short letter of inquiry just before Christmas to the bureau. I asked them to answer the letter only if they had not received my application. To help the bureau check I enclosed the number from the money order stub, mentioned the amount of the money order, etc.
