“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The envelope object for the 64th envelope experiment was a parking ticket obtained at Robert Treman State Park, near Ithaca, NY, on July 12,1966, on our recent vacation. It is printed in black on card stock, with the serial number in a light blue ink. I enclosed it between two pieces of Bristol, then inserted this into the usual double envelopes. Ithaca is 30-some miles northest of Elmira.

(We visited the park three times during that week, but I kept the date for the ticket straight by attaching a penciled slip to it. As it happens some of the envelope data arises out of our two subsequent visits. The first visit was on Tuesday, July 12, the second on Thursday, July 14, and the third on Saturday, July 16.

This does not mean that you do not exist however in the apparent interval. Our discussion concerning the nature of matter is important here, for I explained the pulsations that occur in atoms. Your perception of time causes many difficulties when you try to examine reality as it exists independent of matter. The limitations of verbal communications make some explanations difficult. (See Volumes 1 and 2, for example.)

Our instructions will begin with the use of these dreams whenever they occur. You will know them by their intense vividness. These are dreams when at first you are certain that you are awake. It is sufficient to keep this in mind, so that in the middle of a dream you can realize what it is.

(Jane paused at 10:09, then took the sealed envelope for our 64th experiment from me without opening her eyes. She of course knew that envelope experiments were scheduled for Mondays now, and asked out of formality. She pressed the envelope to her forehead in a vertical position.)

(See the tracing of the object and the notes on page 284. As stated we obtained the parking ticket used as object on July 12,1966 at Robert Treman State Park, Ithaca, NY, and I kept track of this date by attaching a note to the ticket. Other visits to the same park later in the week enter into the data, and these will be discussed as the need arises. Seth also helps out after break. In the meantime Jane and I began making our own connections with the object.

(“A connection with a flower or flowers”, immediately reminded Jane of our visits to Enfield Glen, or Robert Treman State Park. Jane was subjectively sure of this, she said. I remember our specifically commenting on the flowers there, on all our visits. Objectively however there is nothing in this data to connect it to Enfield.

(“A connection with the number five. This could refer to a date or to five people. At an affair or a gathering, and this is a distant connection.” A somewhat distant connection, but a good one, we believe. As stated Jane and I visited Enfield Glen, or Robert Treman State Park, three times—July 12 for Tuesday, July 14 for Thursday, and July 16 for Saturday. The envelope object contained the ticket for the visit of July 12. We also obtained like objects for the other two visits, and Seth evidently uses this fact to lead to related connections. The above data concerns our visit to Enfield Glen on Saturday, July 16.

(Second Question: Can you say something more about G or J or A? “The initials or the letters seem to be connected with a square item, or package.” As stated, there were two Anns at the gathering Saturday, and a Jane and a Joe, etc. See page 284. This would connect such initials with the fact that the envelope object is a square item, [although not a package]. However, remember that the object came from our visit of Tuesday July 12, whereas the gathering was held on Saturday July 16. The link here being that a parking ticket was also obtained, and saved by me, during Saturday’s visit; this ticket was the same except for the serial number as the ticket used as object.

(Question: “Can you say something about the five people?” “Three females and two males.” See the five and gathering data on page 289, concerning my brother Dick and his family. The next two questions also develop this particular data begun on page 289. And again, the link here being parking tickets for both our July 12 and July 16 visits to Enfield Glen/Robert Treman State Park.

(What could have been a serious incident developed at the park and gathering during our Saturday visit. Dick’s young son David fell from a high slide and injured his back. At first it was thought seriously. David naturally cried loudly. As it happened five people tended to David, and their action was witnessed by Jane and myself from some distance away. Three females and two males did the attending: My mother; David’s mother Ida; Ann Crosby; David’s father Dick; and my father.

We will end our session.

I gave him a visual image of the letters, and this is fairly new for him. He will catch on however rather quickly, and then our data should be better than it was before.
