“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The object is a small round object in a small square box. There is also cotton in the box. The object is shaped somewhat like a ring, but it is not a ring. The circle is not complete. It is of a grayish color, like stone. Perhaps somewhat speckled, and it is very old.

The number four in the center of a square. A connection with a turnabout, and a street or avenue, as an avenue of escape.

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.

(“The number four in the center of a square.” We made no connection here, although Seth points out an interesting one, somewhat distorted, after break.

(“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.

(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.

(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.)
