“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.

Do you have an envelope for me?

(“No.” At 9:43 Jane took the envelope for our 66th experiment from me without opening her eyes. She pressed it to her forehead in a horizontal manner.)

Vertical objects close together, as a woods. (Jane was now gesturing often with the envelope, though still mainly holding it horizontally.) Five plus one. A small circular object with something on top of it, perhaps like a stem.

(“Vertical objects close together, as a woods.” In giving the data Jane gestured often with the envelope, her eyes closed; she would then return it to her forehead in mainly a horizontal position. At times she held it briefly in other positions. The wavy lines of the cancellation are close together, and in the abstract could symbolize anything such as trees, etc. Perhaps Jane perceived this while the envelope was in a vertical position, or the data is simply somewhat distorted.

(Leonard does have a brother, Ken, who also lives here in Elmira, but as far as we know Ken was not involved in the Maine trip, which inspired the envelope object. Leonard’s girl, who went to Maine with him, is also dark-haired. Leonard and Ken look much alike; there is little resemblance between Leonard and John, and I do not look like either one of them.

(I then said: “Well, you’re correct, the object is a card.” I wanted to note Jane’s reaction, while in trance, to being told she had named the envelope object at least in a general way. There was none, and she told me later she felt no particular reaction. At the time she said, as Seth: “A grouping”. I took this to mean she was still concerned with the three people data already cited, even though I had waited until she paused in a definite manner before making the comment.

(Reduced tracing of the note, at top, used as the object in the 67th envelope experiment, in the 279th session for August 15,1966.)

(Reduced tracing of the outside of the greeting card which also figures in the 67th envelope data. It was mailed to Jane and me on August 11,1966 by my mother, but was not used as envelope object.)

(Tracing of the inside of the greeting card which also figures in the 67th envelope data. It was mailed to Jane and me on August 11,1966 by my mother, but was not used as envelope object.)
