SESSION 242

(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.

(The session was held in our front room. There was a chance that Peggy Gallagher would be present with a press camera, to take some pictures of Jane while she was in trance. Jane’s publisher has written requesting some photos, drawings, etc., in connection with the book Jane is now writing on the Seth material. Peggy is a writer for Elmira’s newspaper, the Star-Gazette, and has access to the necessary equipment.

(For the session Jane and I looked more presentable than usual, but by 8:30 Peggy had not appeared. In my daily predictions for today, made yesterday, I had noted that Peggy would not make it. The predictions were made at 3 PM, March 15; Seth has something to say about the hour and day later in the session.

I would like to continue the discussion we began in our last session.

(Seth began talking about these points in the very early sessions. By the 15th session he was explaining Jane’s role as a translator for him, putting concepts into words, etc. See Volume 1.)

(Seth began on this material in the 13th session. See Volume 1.)

(“White paper with small implied border. A July date. A note, short, that does not take up all the available space.” This is the data I asked Seth to connect with the envelope object. His answer was that a note was sent, presumably to our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, concerning the object. Jane and I do not know if this is so, and probably will not ask Leonard; he does not know of these sessions.

(After we had discussed this point, Jane added that it is possible she also had an image, very vague, of the note referred to earlier in the data. This seemed to return to mind after our discussion; she didn’t mention it during the session, but when I was typing up these notes. This could account for the reference to a “main paragraph” above. But in giving the above data, Jane had the image of a rectangular form and block of matter with neat borders.

Unless you have further questions we will end the session.
