“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had some images and these will be mentioned in place. This is a case where Jane had seen one of the two items making up the envelope objects very recently—the beer can cap, on Friday, October 7, three days ago. She had never seen my penned note bearing the date and identifying the brand of beer, Draft Beer. See pages 86-88 for tracings of the two envelope objects, and the beer can. I might add that Jane saw the beer can cap only in a casual way. There were quite a few lying about our living room Friday evening. Our candle was not lit until late that evening. When I picked up a cap to blacken in the flame I thought this would focus Jane’s conscious attention on this particular one, but she told me at break tonight that she hadn’t noticed my heating the cap, or else had forgotten it.

(“A vertical format.” Seth didn’t help us out here and I neglected to ask him to after break, but in view of later data Jane and I believe this applies to the design on the Draft Beer can, furnishing the cap used as one of the envelope objects. See page 88. Due to its nature a beer can would bear a vertical format. The card table we used had a plain brown top; but perhaps Seth referred to something else.

(“Three. This could be 3 PM, I do not know, but a trio or three.” As far as we know 3 PM doesn’t figure in the envelope data, but a trio, meaning Bill, Don and me, does. Another trio featured during last Friday evening would be Jane, Peggy and Marilyn. Both trios worked at tipping the table several separate times, for many minutes at a time.

(We thought an apt connection with scale would be the “balancing” of the table on its two south legs as the male and female trios sat before it. As stated, the first two times Bill, Don and I sat at the table we deliberately made the table tip; the last time however, with Jane added to the group, the table really tipped through subconscious pressure.

(Jane said at break that she had had an image of the initials RFB, and she wished mightily now that she had said so. As it is she gives several excellent pieces of data on the note, and the initials would have made her achievement even better. Jane said she didn’t speak the initials aloud because she thought they might refer to my father, and that this was a distortion. She knew she had already mentioned me, as “yourself”. My initials are the same as my father’s; but although I am a Junior, I seldom use it after my name.When I do I abbreviate it as Jr.

(3rd Question: Who is the other man mentioned besides myself? “We will try on this in a moment.” See the interpretation of the “two men” data at the top of page 96. As stated, Jane had an image of my initials on the note used as test object; but since my father’s initials are the same she feared she would distort the data by voicing the initials. Yet she knew that I was also connected with the envelope data.

If it were not a work night I would speak to you longer.

Neither of you took me at my word. I told you the profit you would make, I believe.

(In the 217th session for December 13,1965, Seth told us Jane would earn about $3,500.00 on the ESP book this first year, and that this amount was to double within two years from this and other books. See Volume 5 of these sessions.

You make your reality from your expectations, and this is one of the greatest truths. I can tell you no better. You must deal with the realities that you have made, or change them. There are no alternatives. I cannot make you believe anything, and I would not if I could. This is not my purpose.
