“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.

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 20. The ticket is printed in bold black type on yellow card stock. On page 24 Seth stated that when Jane receives images, the psychological framework between Seth and Jane is operating; in these instances Seth is not giving Jane envelope data by way of concepts, directly and telepathically. Jane had some images this evening.

(“and a street or avenue, as an avenue of escape.” A street, Gray Street, is printed on the object. Our thought also is that the escape data here refers to our not wishing to attend the affair represented by the ticket.

(“Symbols or initials in the lower left hand corner. Having something to do with a house, or residence.” Near the lower left hand corner of the object is printed the name of the hotel in which the VFW affair was to be held, along with the specific rooms. We wonder if Seth/Jane mentioning a house or residence referred to a hotel, via a close distortion.

(“The appearance of a neat, even, script, with small letters. The main paragraph forming a neat rectangular form. But neatly squared off. A block of matter.” Jane said this data referred to the printed envelope object, even though she used the word script instead of type. I was wondering if her use of the word script was a reference to the note sent in connection with the object, but Jane said no. She is not aware of the difference between the terms script, lettering, and type, for instance. She had an image here, of small even words on a rectangular shape; but my questioning could not elicit whether she could distinguish, here, between type, script, etc., on this rectangular shape. She merely knew there were words present.

(“Color at the top, like strips.” The object is yellow, so the color reference could be somewhat distorted. Jane said she believed the strips referred to the black printed lines of the object. Another color, Gray Street, is also mentioned in the data, and indirectly.

(“I have the impression of a solid-appearing rectangular shape, in the center of a larger white object. The smaller one made up of small shapes which have been interpreted as script.” As stated, by script Jane meant print, or type. Jane said this is another reference to the object.

A good deal was legitimate, but not precisely-enough interpreted. Whether or not a test such as this were involved, Ruburt’s terms and your own would not agree as to the printed material and so forth.

The color mentioned was not clear, and the connection was to the street, which was Gray Street. The—shall I say printed material—was neatly blocked off by strips of black.

(Check the printed copy in the center of the object. Beside the word “wars” there, we see the words “for” and “foreign.” Seth mentioned “the number four in the center of a square.” The envelope object is rectangular rather than square. We wondered whether the square reference was to the “larger white object,” mentioned at the end of the envelope data. See page 27. The inside envelope used in these experiments is almost square.)
