“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

APRIL 27, 1966  9 PM WEDNESDAY AS SCHEDULED

(The 49th envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was a sheet of yellow paper upon which our young friend Don Wilbur doodled various numbers and words on the evening of Friday, April 15. I found it while cleaning up after company had left, and decided to use it for an experiment. Jane told me tonight that she didn’t remember seeing Don make it. It was produced on the evening of the unscheduled 251st session. Jane ended up physically ill after this session, which saw very strong voice effects. There were five witnesses, excluding myself.

(I dated and initialed the paper when I found it on April 15. Tonight I placed it between the usual two pieces of Bristol and then sealed it in double envelopes. The whole sheet was used and was folded in quarters.

(“Four plus one.” The unscheduled 251st session was held on the Friday evening Don Wilbur produced the envelope object, April 15,1965. Present besides Jane and me were five witnesses—the Wilburs, the Gallaghers, and Ann Diebler.

(“A teapot or water kettle.” Bill Gallagher, who has ulcers, drinks either coffee or tea on his visits, and he was present on April 15. Don also drinks tea or coffee rather often. Our kettle was in use therefore on the evening of April 15.

(“A looming shape… literal or symbolic… as an unpleasant event could be seen to loom ahead.” Don Wilbur was faced with such an event on April 15. He was changing jobs, and had to tell his employer that he was quitting. He did not look forward to it because of a variety of circumstances.

(“…a connection with fire. Something bright, as in a flame color.” Jane and I are reasonably sure a candle was burned on the coffee table that evening, Friday, April 15. This because we had been discussing Seth’s apparent success in regulating the height of a candle flame on various occasions. These are listed in appropriate sessions. Incense is also burned, usually in a joking manner because we bought some we didn’t like. Jane, being a smoker, lights matches often. None of these interpretations may apply however.
