“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

And welcome after your vacation. Certainly I have nothing against your taking some time off occasionally. You have been most faithful. Then, so have I.

Ruburt did well to relax the last few days, and he will now find that he applies himself to his various endeavors with renewed energy. I am glad that he put his dream book aside for a while, merely because he will have much more data for it within a short time. He can be working out his ideas however in the meantime, as this will be most beneficial. Even though some of his ideas will change, he will still need these present ideas as a basis.

(Break at 9:58. Jane said she was dissociated more than usual. Her pace had slowed somewhat but been very emphatic, and her eyes opened many times. She had smoked, and sipped wine occasionally.

(It was now time for what we thought would be the 41st and 42nd Dr. Instream experiments. As usual Jane sat with her hands raised to her closed eyes. She was not smoking. On the whole her pace was not slow, although broken by many short pauses. Resume at 10:05.)

(Jane spotted it at break at 10:28 before I did: part of the above data seems to pertain to this evening’s envelope object. This was interesting to me especially. I prepared tonight’s envelope sometime after supper, then forgot about it in the press of other business. When the time for the envelope experiment arrived, I then had the idea the envelope contained another object, one I had thought of earlier in the day. So my surprise was considerable, consciously, when Jane opened the envelope and revealed the coaster.)

It has a connection with a clock, but is not a clock. It has hands but it does not tell time. The numbers four, three, six are connected here, and also a schoolhouse, and a bell, such as one that is rung to some children to school.

A vest. (Pause at 10:16.) The object is smooth, with moving parts. Twice, something on it twice, or two times.

(How much of this data on page 305 might pertain to the Instream object we do not know, but Jane had intuitive feelings that a bleed-through had occurred involving the envelope object. I go along with her in that such feelings are legitimate, since the basis of these experiments, as Seth has told us many times, is emotional.

(“I get the numbers one eight eight eight, in connection with this.” My own idea here is that Seth/Jane picked up the three-ring design shown on each of the three glasses depicted on the coaster, and translated or converted this data into the number 8, three times. There is a graphic resemblance here. The numeral 1 appears in the code number, in small type, next to the bottom border.

(“Four, the number four, having to do with several of a kind.” There is a connection here but we did not see it at the time. Seth reminds us of it later in the session.

(“Terwilliger.”, etc. This meant nothing to us, although Seth explains it later. At the moment Jane could only say that she had also found herself writing the word down in her daily predictions a few times lately, without knowing why.

(Jane’s eyes began to open at times when she resumed, at an average pace, at 10:50.)

(It involved a man I see very occasionally at my job. He works in another department, and is named Hack Rice. Jane and I see him more often when out dancing that I do on the job. He is always accompanied by his wife. Early Saturday evening, we saw Hack Rice and his wife dancing, and said hello as we usually do. At this time Hack was quiet and smiling.

(The number 4 does appear in the small code number printed on the envelope object, inside the bottom border. We missed noting this during break. We had also forgotten that we met Marilyn and Don Wilbur first at the dancing establishment, and had time for our first drink before Ann Diebler and her escort, Paul Sinderman, arrived.

(I had been wondering lately if an occasional question might not produce more specific results. At times I’d had the distinct feeling that such questions would provide enough of a nudge to bring forth more data, but had hesitated because I didn’t want the questions to be considered leading.)

(“From the envelope object itself, some time before we got to the envelope experiment?”

(In the 180th session, after the second envelope experiment, Seth told us he worked well clairvoyantly with objects, although at times telepathy could enter into such experiments.)
