“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Sometimes Jane has seen envelope objects, and sometimes she has not. Sometimes she has seen them but a few days before, sometimes months or years before. Whatever the case may be, it apparently makes no difference in the results as far as time goes, or previous visual contact. Seth does respond to emotional charges; these charges we have learned need not stem from Jane or myself or a friend; they can be related to a total stranger and still be detected. Someday perhaps these envelope experiments can be correlated with various factors, sensual and otherwise. For some time now we have kept a weather record, taken just before session time, and there are probably correlations here. This record includes time, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall to date, wind velocity and wind direction. Soon I will make a copy of the chart to include with these sessions.

I believe Dr. Instream chose this object precisely because it did not belong to him. A university connection is very strong here. The object belongs to another professor.

There is some connection here also with a young girl, a child connected with Dr. Instream, but not with the symposium.

A cross shape. A paper item. Three of a kind here, perhaps three strong parallel lines on the object. If so they are contrasted colorwise, or much darker.

(We believe we have made some progress checking Seth’s impressions in this case, and they involve Bill Macdonnel, John Bradley, and Peggy Gallagher among others. It isn’t necessary here to go into these points in detail one by one, either in the data on page 32, or on the envelope object. But we do believe these excerpts from page 32 apply to Peggy and her place of employment, the local newspaper: “A crisis involving health. A doctor… A connection with a man who can be considered an outsider to a group. He is connected with the crisis.”

(“A switch.” This we believe involves Peggy’s failure to appear at the two previous sessions, 242 and 243, to take photographs of Jane. This is borne out also by Seth’s last statement, where I asked him to elaborate: “The switch seems to be involved with a change of plans, or a switch of dates.” The change of plans was on Peggy’s part, twice, and the somewhat involved mechanics of the situation here are explained in the notes on page 30 of the 243rd session.

(“Three of a kind here, perhaps three strong parallel lines on the object.” We regard this as a good reference to the parallel lines dividing the subject matter on the object. The object contains four lines, rather than three, however.

(“2 o’clock. A connection with a March 13 or 15 date, I believe.” This is quite possible, we think, although we did not check with Seth. See the notes again on pages 30, and 50, concerning Peggy’s failure to appear as scheduled to photograph Jane during the 242nd session. As stated the 242nd session was held on Wednesday March 16. Peggy did not appear because she was given an out-of-town assignment for Wednesdsay evening. She was actually given the assignment on Tuesday, March 15, in the afternoon. On page 30 it is stated Peggy does not recall the exact time she was told about the assignment except that it was not too late in the afternoon. Seth had mentioned 3 PM during the 242nd session, and Peggy said it was possible. Does 2 o’clock apply here? We do not know since we did not check with Seth. Peggy is sure however that she was given the assignment no later than 3 PM.)
