“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.

(Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes open. She was smoking. Her voice was good, with pauses.)

(Break at 9:21. Jane was dissociated a little more than usual, she said. After she had gotten up to get her cigarettes, she sat down opposite me at the table again, and spoke from there until break. Her eyes had been open much of the time.

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.

(I did so. Traffic noise was loud.)

(Break at 9:58. Jane was out as usual. Her eyes remained closed. She felt no particular reaction, she said, when I told her she had been correct in calling the object a card. She also said she would recall any images when we went over the data.

(Jane mentioned the 4¢ postage stamp on the object; strictly speaking the stamp is not quite square, but if the stamp had been perceived clairvoyantly perhaps its shape was interpreted as a square.

(“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.

(Another valid connection is that Leonard mailed the card to us from the state of Maine, where he was vacationing on a camping trip; implying woods in the state parks where he did stay, as we later learned.

(“Connection with a fortunate circumstance.” We don’t know, unless the fact that Leonard going on vacation was a fortunate circumstance. Leonard’s girl also accompanied him.

(“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.

(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 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.)
