“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.

December. A connection with a willingness to go somewhere. Star shapes. The color white background, and a paper item, folded like a card, the center being a rectangular shape.

(“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.

(When she saw the smudges on the back of the tracing-paper drawing, Jane said this was what gave her the idea of “ribbonlike shapes.” The “dark color” and “dark red” references were her attempts to further refine this data.

(“Star shapes.” This is related to the geyser data on page 321, and out of it grows a personal association of Jane’s. Note that my tracing-paper drawing bears a formalized six-pointed star. Jane said she had an image of a star of sorts, and that this gave her the idea of fireworks shooting into the sky—thus the idea of a geyser, and something rising and explosive, etc.

(“the center bring a rectangular shape.” Jane said this is another reference to the rectangular area taken up across my drawing by the words Key Value.

(“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.

(“A connection with a house and a white border.” This is interesting, in that Jane said she had an image of a card shape with a house and foliage on it. It was not very clear, yet she knew that much about it. The boxes of cards for which the sticker was made are large, large enough to contain reproductions of four cards, arranged in a rectangular pattern on the box top, and on a printed gold background. Each card design is surrounded by a rectangular white border, perhaps an eighth of an inch wide. Some of the boxes laid out before me, as I made my drawing for the sticker, contained reproductions of cards bearing houses, trees, flowers, etc.; the standard kind of subject material for greeting cards.

(“What I mean is, will I be accused of giving him clues if I ask questions about the envelope data? Suppose I ask him to be more specific about a certain point, say a shape? Won’t he take the question as a sign that the point needs to be clarified?”)

(End at 10:55. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed since break, her pace rather slow. She said she felt sure about the impressions concerning my tracing-paper drawing. She was aware, she repeated, of the circular shape upon the rectangular shape formed by the folded tracing paper; she felt it was folded when Seth said so.)
