“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He has reached a decision now, or very nearly, about the matters mentioned in our last session. There seems to be some connection with the Midwest here, or at least further west than his present location. Perhaps someone further west had to do with his decision.

Two students in his office today, for disciplinarian reasons. A G here.

(A note here: On page 148, see our interpretation of Seth’s impression, “Anemia,” and Jane’s connecting this with our friend Helga Anderson. Writing of Father Ryan now reminds us that he died of leukemia—also a blood disorder as anemia is. Note that Seth merely said that anemia reminded Jane of Helga Anderson; Helga is not given as Seth’s impression. Perhaps the anemia impression is a distortion of leukemia. However, we think Jane’s Helga impressions and the interpretations leading to the envelope object and the dream book in general, to be legitimate.

(In the latter case, the above impression would be linked with the following impressions given in the 257th session: “A note.” “A selection…” “A connection with markings and dates,” “and perhaps yellow connected here.” etc.

(“and a connection with flowers.” One of the chapter headings on the envelope object is Dream Symbols and Culture. Under this Jane discusses how we react to the symbolic meaning of objects. For an analogy here she uses flowers—Easter and lilies, for example. The analogy takes up several typewritten lines, and mentions several kinds of flowers.

(“Give us time… Mention of building, or implied mention.” This too came through in answer to the second and third questions, concerning the content of the lettering on the envelope object. Jane believes it refers to her recurring playground dream, and the fact that her school was directly across the street from the site of her dream. See the notes under “A border. Perhaps in black.” on page 157, describing the physical relation between the school, the priests’ home quarters, and the playground. The relation with building here is a little unusual. Although the building was directly across the street from the playground there was no access between the two. A high fence surrounded the block-size playground, with the two entrances on an opposite side and end from the school; hence a child to reach the school from the playground had to travel at least one full block, and possibly two.

(“It is not empty on either side. Rectangular with a border.” Here I asked Seth to try naming the object. I believe the answer refers to the photo of the deceased Father Ryan. See the notes following “A border…” on page 157.
