“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 63rd envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was two sections of a red ribbon taped to a piece of heavy Bristol board. I found the ribbon in the bed of our cat on about June 20. I knew nothing of its history consciously, and hoped Jane and Seth could help out. As it developed Jane was somewhat hard- pressed to identify the ribbon, did so eventually, and with Seth’s verification. We regard such objects, where we know little of the history, as being like objects furnished by others.

(This was our first session since June 29,1966. Jane said she had no idea of what Seth would talk about. She began as usual at 9 PM, her eyes closed, sitting down, in a good voice and with pauses.)

(See the tracing on page 270 and the notes on page 271. As stated I picked the red ribbon used as object from the bed of our cat on about June 20, with little idea of its history. It developed that Jane had to think hard in order to tentatively link the object with a hand-knit sweater she had received from her mother as a birthday present. Jane’s birthday is May 8, but she received the package sometime after this; we located a letter from Jane’s mother dated May 10, in which she discusses mailing the sweater to Jane soon.
