“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 46th envelope experiment was held during the session. See the tracing above. The object was a red satin bow that had been kicking around the studio for some months; at various times I had idly thought of using it for an experiment. I did not think Jane had noticed it particularly, and she confirmed this after the session.

(Since the object had been thoroughly flattened by some kind of pressure, it was no trick to place it between the usual two pieces of heavy Bristol, then seal it in double envelopes.

Do you have an envelope for me?

(Jane paused at 10:22. She took the 46th sealed envelope from me without opening her eyes. She pressed it to her forehead for a few sentences, then lowered it to her lap.)

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 82. I felt Seth was on the track with his data, yet because I had so little background concerning it myself the data seemed opaque to me. I found myself feeling the same way about the answers to my questions, so I did not continue to ask them. I also thought the data was mixed up with the planned visit of my parents to the apartment for Easter Sunday, April 10, and a very short reminder my mother had written in connection with this.

(Again, possible. Before the reorganization this year Artistic dealt with many artists and firms in the northeastern states, including New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It still does to some extent. Jane did not know this. Without the card from which the envelope object was taken however, I cannot track down any specific artist or company.)
