“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 37th envelope experiment was held during the session. See the tracing of the envelope object on page 327. It is a print of my right hand, made with black stamping ink on paper. I made it on February 27,1966. Jane had picked up a book on hands at the library recently, and this got us interested in making such prints.

Some talk of money for a project, or the lack of it, and an immediate plan considered. A framework, or something framed. (Jane shook her head.) The matches are the object.

(“Well, do you want to say something about colors involved with the object, if any?”)

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 327. Jane and I made most of the connections between the envelope object and the data easily enough, and did not ask Seth to clear up any points. The connections tonight were predominantly related with the envelope object itself, and not displaced onto another as they had been in the last session, and in the 234th, which involved the episode of the four letters.

(“A floor plan, or diagram.” Note here how Jane narrowed the meaning down to a diagram. The original print used as the object, with the white lines apparent, is a diagram. See the detailed description on page 328.

(“I have the impression of a steeple shape, or upside-down V shape, that is rather prominent.” To Jane the shapes of my fingers as outlined in pencil on the print, were steeple shapes. There are several V shapes on the print, and a prominent one between the thumb and forefinger. We are not sure why the upside-down reference to a V shape however. During the experiment I noticed that Jane held the rectangular test envelope to her forehead with its long axis roughly parallel to the floor; perhaps the folded object inside gave rise to the upside-down impression.

(“and a connection with a man who wears glasses. Not you, Joseph.” Don Wilbur wears glasses. I do also. So does Bill Gallagher. Peggy Gallagher was visiting Jane on the evening I made the print used as the envelope object, on Sunday, February 27. After I was through with my efforts Bill arrived. As we recall he was not wearing his glasses on that particular evening. Don Wilbur wears his all the time, as I do.

(Bear in mind that Jane had this experience as well as I. Perhaps her own experience reinforced whatever data she had picked up from my involvement with the actual envelope object. Jane said she cannot distinguish between the two, if this took place.

(“The darks horizontal,” Note the fold marks on the copy of the envelope object on page 327. When the object was folded and then held in a roughly horizontal position in the rectangular double envelope, the dark patterns of the fingers would be horizontal within the envelopes.
