“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the previous pages for tracings of the two envelope objects used in the 73rd experiment this evening. The beer can cap was enclosed within my folded note; the note was written on white paper in the same color ink used to make the tracings. Both items came from a gathering of friends at our apartment last Friday evening, October 7. The dark color on the end of the tab is carbon black from a candle flame. I did this deliberately on Friday evening during the gathering, in full view of everyone, for at that moment I decided to use this cap as the envelope object for the session tonight. Other details later.

The color red. An achievement. Two men, yourself and another connected here. An armchair also. A skirmish.

Forty-six or 1946. Square patterns. Gray, black, white. A calendar, or series of numbers. Blue. Perhaps the color of a garment.

(“How about its color?”)

We gave you colors, also 1861 or 1961. Something old-fashioned, as a horse and buggy.

(“The color red.” We cannot be sure. There could be many sources of red that Friday evening; for instance, the candle I used to deposit a coat of carbon black on the cap used as object, was a brilliant red; this was a large fat candle, and one we have used in previous experiments. We used it toward the close of the evening last Friday as an object upon which the six of us focused our attention. Half humorously, we attempted to increase the height of the candle flame by concentration, with no success. This was after we had finished the table tipping.

(“Gray, black, white.” Jane suggested these connections: The gray, or aluminum, color of the metal cap; the black section of the cap I heated in the candle flame; the white paper upon which I wrote the date and other data concerning the cap.

(“Blue. Perhaps the color of a garment.” Jane wore her favorite blue sweater Friday evening, October 7,1966, the evening which furnished the two objects used in tonight’s envelope experiment.

(6th Question: How about its color? “We gave you colors.” See the gray, black and white data at the top of page 97. In asking this question I wondered whether Seth might give other colors, in the event he referred to some other oval object than the tab.
