“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 41st envelope experiment was held during the session. See the tracing on page 20. The object was an unused ticket to a VFW ball and entertainment. It is printed in heavy black type on yellow card stock; the back is blank. It was given to us on the evening of Saturday, November 20,1965, by a friend of our neighbor across the hall. Our neighbor is Leonard Yaudes. As Jane and I were leaving our place to go dancing that evening Leonard called us into his place to meet two friends of his, a man and a woman, not married; we have forgotten their names. The man, who was also planning to attend the VFW affair later that evening, gave Jane and me a free ticket.

(We preferred not to go, but took the ticket to avoid explanations, without making promises. We thought the affair would be dull. I forgot about the incident until a couple of days ago, when I found the ticket in a coat pocket. Jane hadn’t seen it since last November. I sealed it in the usual double envelope, between two pieces of Bristol.

This reassembled ego then attempts to perceive these concepts in terms of sense perceptions, which are sent as communications to the physical individual at the other end. Sometimes the communications are made directly, though they must be sifted through the subconscious of the physical individual. When the physical individual is trained along these lines however, he helps in this process, and a psychological framework, like a bridge, is erected that serves to connect the two personalities.

(Jane said it is possible that the “larger white object” referred to the inside envelope used as a matter of course in our experiments. This envelope is perhaps half again as large as the largest dimension of tonight’s object, and is almost square. I put the object in this envelope, place it between two pieces of heavy Bristol board which are cut to just fit inside the second, or outside, envelope. I did not think to ask Seth to clear up this point.
