“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A small round object, with some inscriptions resembling a postmark. A connection with something unclaimed, with the number 12, perhaps also with six three, and with ribbonlike shapes. That is, long lines that are straight, perhaps two of these, and of dark color I believe, or dark red. Black on red. Horizontal rather than vertical, in the position in which I hold this.

(Without opening her eyes, Jane held the envelope before her in a horizontal position, and moved it from side to side to show horizontal movement. She then restedher elbow on the arm of her rocker and kept holding the envelope up as she continued.)

(“A small round object, with some inscriptions resembling a postmark.” Jane said she saw within a small round object, with horizontal lines running across it; she thought of a postmark on an envelope, with the cancellation lines, but knew this wasn’t it. When she looked at my tracing-paper drawing, she said this was evidently what she was trying to arrive at subjectively; my drawing is of a round object, although much larger. Jane said the straight-across lettering, Key Value, is in the position of the horizontal lines she saw within. There are also ruled-in horizontal lines on the drawing.

(“and with ribbonlike shapes. That is, long lines that are straight, perhaps two of these, and of dark color, I believe, or dark red. Black or red. Horizontal rather than vertical, in the position in which I hold this.” As stated on page 321, Jane held the rectangular double envelope up with its long edge parallel to the floor, and moved it back and forth to indicate most definitely her insistence upon the horizontal attribute. This is most interesting, for the envelope object itself contains neither vertical or horizontal lines or masses. Once again her actions and data seem to be an attempt to get at my tracing-paper drawing, which bears a close connection to the envelope object.

(My drawing contains lines that are horizontal and straight. There are two sets of these horizontal lines, across the top and the bottom of the words Key Value, and when one turns the drawing over on the back—not shown here—is seen the dark smudges of my pencil as I prepared the drawing for tracing onto paper. Jane said these lines and the dark smudges beneath them are what she believes she was referring to, more so than the other two horizontal sets of lines below the end of the key.

(“Dark and shadowy in the center”, Jane said, is another reference to my smudges on the back of the drawing, and refer back to the ribbonlike shapes on page 321. She had a fairly good image of this darkened area, and its horizontal disposition.
