“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane read aloud to the gathering an article in the November 1966 Fate Magazine titled Table Up! or How To Tilt a Table, by Georgia Mae Fields. This is an old children’s game, and we decided to try it with a card table. Our experiences of the evening involving this game enter into the envelope data, although neither of the envelope objects refer to it directly. This is often the case, the often innocuous envelope object reflecting whatever strong emotional charges surround it at the physical time Jane and Seth are trying to get back to.

(“Connection with a large city. This Minneapolis connection, I do not know to what it refers. Again, a capital letter impression, a large M. Minneapolis, Mississippi—that length of word, with a place description connected.” Jane said she was sure these long names beginning with an M reflected her attempts to come through with Milwaukee, rather than Minneapolis. She tied up the Milwaukee name to our having beer to drink at the gathering Friday evening: and of course a beer can furnished the metal object used in the experimental envelope. See page 88.

(“Also 1861 or 1961.” See page 88. In small numerals there is the date 1842, within the circle enclosing the Indian head. Jane was fairly sure Seth was trying to get at this data; and she now felt that the 46 or 1946 data on page 96, and the 36 and 46 data on page 94, all reflected Seth’s attempts in this direction. Seth agrees after break.
