“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 32nd envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was a black and white Polaroid photo, taken of myself by a coworker in September 1960, at my desk at the Artistic Card Co. in Elmira. The older individual in the left background of the photo, Ezra Havens, figures in the envelope data, also. The friend who took the photo caught me by surprise during a lunch hour; hence my position in the act of stretching, and the startled expression.

(“Ruburt’s impression of a table...and rounded objects and colored.” In the photo I am sitting at a drawing table. Rounded objects and colored I thought another reference to “something circular.” listed above. The table data brings up another instance of the fine discrimination necessary to Jane in giving such experimental data. She said she had an impression of a table while speaking for Seth; not only this, but of a white table. In the envelope photo it can be clearly seen that my drawing table is covered with white paper, for cleanliness while working. This is still my habit.

(However, we also have a small coffee table in our apartment, and it is painted white. Jane said she thought of this table while speaking for Seth, yet knew it wasn’t the right table. To avoid confusion in speaking the data she omitted the adjective white.

Ruburt’s explanation of the table was correct. I did give him the white table, but he confused it with the white table in your room, knew that this was not the table to which I referred, made the correct distinction, but thought that the white indication did not belong.
