“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane began speaking while seated. Her eyes were closed, her pace good. Her voice was distinctly heavier and louder than usual. It easily rose above the considerable traffic noise coming through our open living room window.)

(Break at 9:31. Jane was well dissociated, she said. Her eyes remained closed. Her pace was fast, her voice still heavy and quite a bit deeper.

(She resumed with her eyes closed at 10:00.)

(Her eyes still closed, Jane took the envelope from me for our 70th experiment, and held it up to her forehead with her right hand. It was 10:01. Her pace was good, and grew faster as the experiment progressed.)

Browns. An object in the center that is somehow sharply shaped. For example a star shape, a sharp shape. (Gesture—with her forefinger Jane made angular shapes in the air, her eyes closed.)

(Break at 10:18. Jane was again well dissociated, as she had been all evening, she said. Her voice was not as loud this time but her delivery had been fast, as though she wanted to give the data without thinking about it. She reported no images that she remembered. Her eyes had remained closed.

(“Connection with a letter. Perhaps a Florida postmark.” The object is of course a letter. I believe the Florida data should be included with the mention of a letter, although a separate sentence. Once again, the Water Street address on the letter could give rise to the Florida data. On each of the several times Jane and I have lived in Florida, we have lived very close to the water.

(“Two men and a woman. She wears a hat.” We thought of various combinations here, among them Marie Colucci, Dr. Lodico and myself, since we are closely involved with the object. We didn’t know whether Marie wears a hat, though. Seth verifies our interpretation, even though we couldn’t be sure.

(7th Question: Do you want to name the object? “I am not sure. There is a strong connection with a photograph, but I do not know whether the object itself is a photograph. Dark colors and light colors and shadows.” Thus the visual idea of a painting and a photo are closely related, to Seth. Some distinction is made, either by Seth or Jane, in that a photo is not definitely named as the object. “Dark colors and light colors and shadows” can refer to either a photo or a painting; the description is quite apt for the painting roughly indicated on page 39.

(“Also a column, or columns.” Jane said she thought this data, tacked on at the close, referred to the fact that she has an idea to sell a weekly column on ESP to the local paper, and has been working up samples lately.

We will shortly close our session.

Now. I am able as usual to carry on for some time. Out of the goodness of my heart, I will however close our session. I would of course stay at your request. My heartiest wishes to you both.
