“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The object, a scribbled pad, small and white. An unusual amount of company. A rendition. Four and three. An encounter that had a disturbing aspect, this involving himself and another man. The man may have had a mustache of the prickly variety, or unusually bushy. Perhaps brown and gray. The disturbing aspect having to do with a book, and the initials A G that have something to do, I believe, with the book.

(Jane took a long pause while delivering the last sentence. See the summary of the unscheduled 251st session. Seth cut the session short, and after the five witnesses had left Jane was physically sick to her stomach three successive times. We both thought it a panic reaction. Later Jane told me she had very little memory of what Seth had said, even in the very strong voice; this is unusual for her.)

A connection with something distant, with three people in particular. An announcement, as in an announcement of intention.

(“An organized endeavor.” Certainly the pressure applied to Bill Macdonnel by three police visits or calls, in an effort to get him to remove the painting from the window. A slightly different interpretation here would be that the police constitute an organization, and that their efforts to have Bill remove the painting constitute an endeavor.

(“with three people in particular.” When the police asked Bill to remove the painting from his gallery window, he asked advice from three people in particular. Two of the people are named in the sixth column of the envelope object. These two supported Bill’s decision to leave the painting in the window. The third man, Ernfred Anderson, who has a national reputation as a sculptor and teacher at Elmira College, and is a close friend of Bill, Jane and mine, advised Bill to remove the painting. Bill told Jane and me this on his visit earlier this evening, although we had heard this from other friends several days ago.

(“A reference to several items of a kind. That is an announcement made, a reference made, about several items of a kind.” Column three contains references to a collection of abstracts [which are paintings], ceramics and metal sculpture. Two of these are plural. Columns five and six of the object contain references to a bookstore and the books on display in the window there. This store is but a few doors down the street—East Water Street.

(There is the top half of a photograph on the back of the object, on the right. The photo is of Hoffman Nurseries, and features a sign. Beyond the sign to the left can be seen part of a station wagon. In back of the automobile can be seen a trestle-like affair, and in back of this indications of a building. It is indistinct in the poor quality photograph, but can be made out. Hoffman Nurseries is a local concern and actually contains many buildings. Portions of three smaller ads on back of the object also refer to local businesses, and would involve buildings.

(“White or bluish-white. Small in contrast to a larger shape perhaps.” As stated, the smaller of the two near-circular sculptures, about ten inches across, is of polished silvery metal, highly reflective. This gives it the bluish cast. It also looks whitish, and gray. The quality of light can cause these changes in color. When Jane and I visited the gallery window to check out this data before writing it up, we noted the three colors mentioned above in this particular sculpture—white, blue, gray.
