“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.)

(Break at 10:28. Jane out as usual. Her eyes had remained closed, her pace good. She said she had images within only when Seth “said so”. She was not unduly nervous at the idea of an experiment after our vacation.

(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. [This session was held on July 18.]

(Nor did Jane know the diagram for parallax. We believe she was on the right track in spite of her semantic difficulty, however, with the roads data and the white markings, areas between, etc. Jane’s personal idea was that Seth used parallelogram to lead up to the rest of the data here. In this respect see page 274, where Seth mentions Jane’s associations.

(“Scripts.” Seth, after break, reinforces Jane’s idea that a note was enclosed with the sweater, but we cannot find the note and so can’t demonstrate this.

(Note the mispronunciation of seismograph also. There is of course no printing on the object, the printing idea being symbolic only in this case.
