“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Break at 9:40. As she had done during the 274th session, Jane remained in trance at break. This didn’t mean she confined herself to her chair, sitting with her eyes closed. Instead she too paced about the room, her eyes open and very dark, and spoke to me as I stretched. We discussed briefly the similarity between projections and my paintings. She lit a cigarette and said she’d let me tell her when I was ready to resume.

(“Yes.” 10:05. Jane’s eyes now closed, and remained so.)

(Jane sat with the envelope resting in her lap, eyes still closed.)

(Break at 10:25. Jane said she was “way-out.” Seth hadn’t wanted to take a break at the regular time, and had wanted to keep her under for the experiment also. He also had Jane let the cat in so she wouldn’t get upset by the animal’s scratching at the door. Her eyes had remained closed during the experiment and her pace had been quite rapid except where indicated.

(Jane had one predominant image during the data, and this was of the greeting card. This is the reason for its inclusion with the actual object, since much of the following data actually deals with the greeting card. This is a case where the actual object, Leonard’s note to us, served as a springboard. The connection between the object and the greeting card is a legitimate and close one, and presumably would not have developed had Jane not correctly divined the nature of the object itself to begin with. The connection between the two being the fact that the object concerned a phone call to us from my mother; and that my mother was also the sender of the card to us.

(See the tracing of the penciled slip I had attached to the envelope object when I first obtained it, reminding me of the date. The sequence, 8/14/66, is also close to 1418. Jane had never seen this slip, but it had been attached to the object for some time and perhaps was clairvoyantly divined. She had seen the envelope containing the greeting card in a casual way, of course, as had I. I did not discover the discrepancy in ZIP codes on the envelope until examining it after the session—several days after.

(Once again the greeting card shoulders its way into the data ahead of the actual envelope object. As explained both are related closely, but the greeting card with note, referred to above, and with an out-of-town connection, is of course not the object itself.

We will now close our session.
