“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A distant connection in the past, with a gathering that was formal, I believe… not certain here… With dancing (gesture, eyes closed) as at a wedding reception perhaps.

Through personal association with my last remark, Ruburt is led to think of the coming D’Andreano wedding.

(“A distant connection in the past, with a gathering that was formal, I believe… not certain here… with dancing as at a wedding reception perhaps. Through personal association with my last remark, Ruburt is led to think of the coming D’Andreano wedding.” As stated, Jane was quite embarrassed at the teasing Dick had taken from Barbara about marriage the evening of July 3, and by Dick’s obvious anger. The wedding talk here thus links up with a wedding Jane and I attended perhaps nine years ago in Rochester, NY—that of my brother Dick and Ida D’Andreano. This was a formal occasion for which Jane and I were dressed formally, and at the lengthy reception afterwards there was much dancing, etc.

(In addition, within the past month we have received an announcement of the forthcoming marriage of another D’Andreano, Louie, also in Rochester. We have been invited. Louie witnessed a session a couple of year ago, and was interested in this material for some time. This new wedding, we think, freshens the D’Andreano association. We think there is also another association involving this data—the fact that the two Dicks were involved—Dick in the backyard, and my own brother Dick in Rochester.

(Another invitation applies through the wedding invitation to the latest D’Andreano wedding, recently received by Jane and me. Accepting this would also involve our journeying to Rochester.

(“Black and white. Please reply.” This is another reference to the upcoming wedding of Louie D’Andreano, to which Jane and I have been invited. The announcement was printed in black ink on white, as is usual. It also requested that Jane and I reply in writing as to whether we planned to attend. Once again, the D’Andreano wedding data, involving the present one concerning Louie, and the distant one concerning my brother Dick, is called up by Jane’s associations, because of the marriage talk between Barbara and Dick on the evening of July 3,1966, when Jane wrote the poem used as object.

(“37 here and a magistrate connection.” Jane herself is 37 years old, and Barbara’s boyfriend Dick is either that age also or very close to it. The magistrate connection arises out of the wedding conversation which was a feature of the group’s gathering on the evening of July 3.

(4th Question: What’s that four plus one? “Four plus one life. Vito.” This is enigmatic to us, although the Vito connection is clear. Vito is one of the sons in the D’Andreano family and was married a couple of years ago. Thus Jane returned here to the wedding idea through the D’Andreano family.

(“And tissue paper.” Another connection to the D’Andreano family. The wedding announcement and the invitation we received concerning the forthcoming marriage of Louie D’Andreano, contained the usual tissue paper interleaves.
