“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 56th envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was a pencil drawing I made of Jane this afternoon, without her knowledge. I looked down on her as she sunned herself, my viewpoint being the back row of the studio windows on the second story. The sketch took but a few minutes because she moved so frequently, and I was much amused at her restlessness; this mirth plays a part in the experimental results. The drawing is on porous paper with a slight yellowish cast. I placed it between the usual two pieces of Bristol, then sealed it in double envelopes.

(“Mirth.” As stated earlier, I felt pronounced amusement while making the drawing used as the object. Jane moved almost constantly while posing unwittingly, and I had to work very rapidly while at the same time being careful she didn’t look up at the studio windows on the second floor and see what I was doing.

(“The impression now of looking down, from a high position…” This is an excellent description of my position in the second-story studio, looking quite straight down as I sketched Jane on the lawn. She was perhaps twelve feet below me. Jane had an image in connection with this data, which is explained below. At the time I made the drawing I wondered if Jane would sense the fact even though she didn’t see me. Jane paused noticeably before she continued.

(“That is connected with rocks.” Although Jane had the serape spread on grass, she sat within perhaps five feet of the flagstone patio which is directly underneath the studio. These stones, or rocks are not cemented down, merely loosely fit in place, and are always being kicked astray. They are of all sizes, from a few inches to a foot or more across.

(When I first saw Jane on the lawn below the studio windows, I leaned out to joke with her briefly. I thought of joining her myself, but did not mention it because I did not want to lose painting time. Nor did Jane openly ask me to join her.)
