“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The top of the book or box a shade of brown. Brown, yellow, or deeper—that is, darker. Perhaps a clasp on the side, to keep it shut. (Pause at 10:12.)

White, it seems, with a large oval darker shape. A date connected with it. Black, rather clear lines, one on the top, bottom, and two sides. Vertical. That is, vertical lines, on the top and bottom, and horizontal on the sides.

(“A miscellany of shapes.” This phrase crops up often in the data in describing words, numbers, other small repetitive printed matter. The object is covered with printed matter on both sides.

(“Copy in the center of the bottom of a paper item.” No matter which side of the envelope object was facing up, there would be copy in the center of the bottom side. Jane changed the position of the envelope frequently, as she held it while giving the data.

(“A door which is dark, or opens into darkness.” Jane and I had the same thought, independently, before mentioning it: that this impression referred to the layout of the Gallagher’s house, where the 170th session was recorded. The session was held in their living room. A hall opens off this and leads back to the kitchen. Other rooms open off the hall on either side. Usually when we visit there we see a light on in the kitchen.

(“Black, rather clear lines, one on top, bottom, and two sides. Vertical, that is, vertical lines, on the top and bottom, and horizontal on the sides.” The insurance receipt contains clear black printed lines, both horizontal and vertical on the front, and horizontal only on the back. As stated, Jane changed the position of the envelope frequently while she was giving the data. Thus lines that were vertical at one time would become horizontal, and it seems this would apply whether in relation to her as the clairvoyant observer, or the floor or whatever. I also wonder if some of this data might refer to the black lines formed by the printed matter on the object, and its neat-appearing edges, top, sides and bottom.

(“A white border, with uneven edges, or slightly scrolled edges.” In giving this data Jane emphasized un. See the tracing of the object on page 29. The top and bottom edges of the object are serrated or perforated; several receipts are contained on one page in the book at the post office, and are torn off as used. The sides of the object are straight.
