“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The envelope object for the 69th experiment was a colored postcard sent to us by Barbara Ingold, our neighbor who lives below us on the first floor. Colors on the front and back of the object are indicated to some degree on the tracing on page 16. Jane hadn’t seen the card since we received it. As usual I placed it between two pieces of Bristol then sealed it in double envelopes.

Do you have an envelope for me?

(At 10:06 Jane took the sealed envelope from me for the 69th experiment. She pressed it to her forehead in a horizontal position with her right hand, her eyes closed. Somehow I knew the results of the experiment would be good.)

A connection with a session. With, now (Jane gestured with the envelope, her eyes closed) my impression here is of a desk, or chair connected with a desk. The type used in classrooms. I do not know if this refers to a child who attends school, to a teacher, or to someone such as your friends downstairs who have such an object.

(Pause. Jane lowered the envelope to her lap.) Liquor connection. A visit to a place where it is sold. A man here.

(Break at 10:25. Jane was out as usual. Her eyes remained closed from the time the envelope experiment began. She had images while speaking, and these will be mentioned later.

(“A connection with a session.” The connection here is Barbara herself, who mailed us the card used as object. Barbara, as well as her boyfriend Dick, played a strong emotional part in the envelope data for the 68th experiment, of August 29, 281st session.

(It may be possible that this connection is reinforced by a postcard as envelope object in the 67th experiment, in the 279th session for August 15. That card was sent to us by Leonard Yaudes, who also lives in the apartment house. See Volume 6.

(The Cratsley connection here leads Jane to mention them again later also. The teacher data above may refer to the 67th envelope experiment in the 279th session; for in that session the object was a postcard sent to us by Leonard Yaudes, who is a teacher.

(4th Question: What’s that connection about a session? “Our sessions were discussed, or the item is closely connected to one used previously in our sessions.” See the interpretation of the session data on page 22. Tonight’s item, a postcard, is closely connected to one used previously as an envelope object. The object for the 67th experiment was also a postcard, used August 29 in the 281st session, and was sent to us by Leonard Yaudes, who also lives in our apartment house. Leonard and Barbara are of course friends also.
