“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Your party, at which I was present occasionally (sitting across from me still, Jane tapped on the table, her eyes very dark and wide) was of great benefit, as you know. But you do not know some important facts.

(Break at 9:32. Jane was well dissociated. Her eyes had opened often, her voice had grown a bit stronger. She had been aware of leaving her rocker to sit opposite me at the table, where she remained until break, and had been surprised at her doing so.

Do you have an envelope for me?

Stern. I do not know if this refers to stern as severe, or stern as a ship.

Connection with black, and a small square. This could be symbolic of a death connection, or it could be literal. A word beginning with an M. I do not know—massage, mucilage—leave it for now.

Do you have any questions? (10:35.

(“Stern. I do not know if this refers to stern as severe, or stern as a ship.” At first this stumped us. Jane said then that the connection referred to Enfield Glen, which we visited three times during our vacation from July 9-17. See the notes on page 294 and the tracing on the previous page. The object was obtained July 15, during our vacation, on Friday. Jane recalled that she had wanted to visit the Glen instead of drive to Wellsburg. The connection would be the Glen, where there is a beautiful pool and stream, leading to stern “as a ship.”

(The death connection enters in because the bill was filled out by the worker at the lumberyard who obtained and cut the Masonite so it would fit into our station wagon. The worker—whose name we do not know, but could easily learn—became quite talkative when he learned I planned to use the Masonite as support for paintings. He described to us in some detail how he had a portrait of himself drawn during the Second World War, when he was overseas. War…death. The conversation was unusual in that the worker explained how the artist drew his face as though it was symmetrical, whereas in reality it is quite asymmetrical, with an impaired eye.

(Seth continues the above data, and gives another instance of the freer association employed, all stemming from the letter M: “I do not know—massage, mucilage—leave it for now.” Jane said the mucilage connection referred to the word cement on the bill heading, beneath the Schuyler name.

(“And perhaps with water.” This could stem from the wells in Wellsburg, as explained earlier, or from the fact that Jane would have preferred going to Enfield Glen to swim, instead of buying Masonite. Also, we planned to go swimming locally after getting the Masonite, but became so busy we did not do so.
