“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.)

An October 16. A small building or house with a flattish roof. A lightish color in sunlight. An orange color, and perhaps with scrolls, or scroll shapes, and a banner.

The shapes perhaps cubes. Gold colored, and partially in shadow. This reminds Ruburt of Jungle Gyms at a playground.

Having to do with the geometric shapes.

These squares may be filled in; as buildings in a photograph would be picked up by me first as shapes, you see.

(“Browns. An object in the center that is somehow sharply shaped. For example a star shape, a sharp shape.” Gesture.

(It is one of the abstracts referred to in the letter used as object tonight. Note the sharp shapes. These shapes float in the center of the painting. In addition the painting is done in various shades of brown, from golden yellow ochre to deep brown.

(“A small building or house with a flattish roof. A lightish color in sunlight. An orange color, and perhaps with scrolls, or scroll shapes, and a banner.” This turned out to be confusing data, and at the same time quite interesting. I thought it all of a piece when Seth delivered it, and still do. It may also involve direct telepathy, Jane reading my thoughts here.

(2nd Question: Can you say something more about geometric? “The shapes perhaps cubes. Gold colored, and partially in shadow. This reminds Ruburt of Jungle Gyms at a playground.” See the sketch of the abstract on page 39. As stated, this is one of the group of paintings written about in the letter used as object. This particular painting has strong cubist leanings. Some of the shapes in it are based on cubes. It is painted in browns, ochres, and golden tones. Shadows play a prominent role in it also. And Jane said the design of the painting, with its interlocking angular shapes and lines, reminds her of a Jungle Gym at a playground.

(5th Question: Can you say more about the four squares? “Having to do with the geometric shapes.” In asking this question I sought to tie the four squares data to that of the geometric shapes, and Seth confirms the idea. See the original interpretations on pages 36 and 37.

(6th Questions: How about colors? “These squares may be filled in; as buildings in a photograph would be picked up by me first as shapes, you see.” As well as answering the question in an oblique way, Seth appears to be still considering the geometric data. Note that the photograph idea persists, once brought up through personal association.
