“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.

(I folded the object once, placed it between the usual two pieces of Bristol and sealed it in the usual double envelope.

Now, do you have a test for me? I will from here on in ask if you have an envelope instead.

(It was 10:21. As usual Jane took the experimental envelope, the 31st, from me without opening her eyes. We had decided to call these studies envelope experimentsinstead of tests. Now Jane sat quietly for a moment; she held the envelope to her forehead as she spoke briefly, then lowered it to her lap.)

(“The color gray.” As can be seen from the tracings on page 258-59, the envelope object is half gray on the front, and over two-thirds gray on the back.

(Jane was pleased with the test results. As stated, the envelope object had good emotional connections for both of us, with the added connection of the dream material mentioned on page 260. The dream material was not specifically mentioned by Seth, however. It will be noted that his data moved between the fact of our being strongly concerned about the license plates, and the experimental object itself, which was picked up as the focal point of our concern.

(“Will you explain the references to the two men, in the envelope experiment tonight?”)
