“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 66th envelope object was a postcard mailed to us by our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, from Portland, Maine, on July 23,1966. I sealed it in the usual double envelopes after placing it between two pieces of Bristol.

Subconsciously he exaggerates the dangers that will beset him as a result of the publication, and the actual facts will be a relief. He is in many ways extremely individualistic. He fights for what he believes in, but he also has strong docile tendencies, which are usually rather effectively controlled. These rise up, you see however, in direct proportion to the degree of his independent accomplishments, so that he then fears the accumulated results, social results, of what he has done. It is therefore fairly natural that when this accomplishment is being exteriorized he would become frightened of the opinion of his brethren. These are two faces of the same coin.

Impression of light-colored hair on two, and a similarity. These I believe males. Perhaps a family resemblance, but a definite similarity in any case.

(“Five plus one.” There are two combinations of numbers containing five and one on the back of the object: M-1065 in the upper left corner, and 14905, the ZIP code on the lower right.

(“A small circular object with something on top of it, perhaps like a stem.” See the tracings on page 309. The postmark on the back of the object is of course small and circular. The small triangular design mentioned earlier is just above the postmark, to the right, and is of a line, or stemlike, design. The triangular design does not quite touch the postmark, but the two words just beneath it, Natural Color, do run into the postmark, uniting the two designs.

(“Four.” The numeral 4 appears four times on the object’s back. Was the April data a method of leading up to the four data? Also—there are four handwritten names on the back of the object. There are a total of six personal names on the object, the other two, Don Sieburg and Lincoln, being printed.

(Question: “Are they male or female, for instance?” “Impression of light-colored hair on two, and a similarity. These I believe males. Perhaps a family resemblance, but a definite similarity in any case.” This was of little help to us, and since we didn’t ask Seth to explain after break we cannot decipher the data. We are not related to Leonard, of course. The other male on the address line of the object, John, crossed out by Leonard, is a close friend of Leonard’s but not a relative. None of us—Jane, Leonard, John or myself—are blond or light-haired.

(Jane, or Seth, now added two pieces of information that I hadn’t asked for: “The color purple I believe also.” We think this applies to the 4¢ Lincoln US postage stamp on the object. As stated earlier the stamp is printed in red ink with blue added. The resultant color can be called a purple, a violet, etc.
