“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 53rd envelope experiment was held this session. The object was the same object used for the last session, the 257th. See the copy of it on page 142, and the notes concerning it on pages 143 and 147, as well as our interpretation of Seth’s data concerning it; this also begins on page 147.

(There follows from her dream notebook Jane’s account of one of the dreams she had on Tuesday, May 10,1966: “This whole dream was in images. I saw the universe… or whole reality, an infinity of spirals and stars, in depth somehow. Someone told me? or I just knew… that many of our cherished ideas concerning reality are completely wrong. It was a revelation type dream, except that now I can’t remember anymore about it. Perhaps someone else was showing me all this; not sure though.”

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with a hand raised to her closed eyes. She used many pauses, some of them long. Her voice was quiet.)

We hinted, incidentally, of something along these lines in our sessions on moment points. This material tonight represents the information given to Ruburt in his dream.

Now certainly you recall our material on the inner senses. (Pause, eyes closed.) Try for a moment to consider these in terms of a fourth-dimensional personality structure… We are forced now and then to slow up, so that Ruburt can get proper words.

We will start with the word more. I do not know to what it refers. More of something: The name Moore, M-o-o-r-e, or a moor (gesture) meaning land. That is our first impression.

Now, our object seems to be round, like a top: And also, like a top, capable of some motion. Brown and white in color, moving counterclockwise I believe, upon a small standard. It may be some sort of scientific device—I do not know, but it is a mechanical device.

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.

(Jane paused at 10:08. Without opening her eyes she took the envelope for our 53rd experiment from me, then pressed it to her forehead with both hands. She began speaking in a quiet voice and with many pauses.)

(We started out tonight by making our own connections, and Seth helps us on a couple before ending the session.

(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.

We will now close our session. My heartiest wishes to you both.
