“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(This data was not as wholly precise as we would like, but we made the connections we could. Seth did not go over it after break, mentioning distortions and telepathic static instead. But we feel that more than enough points were made to establish that Seth/Jane had picked up the correct scent. Again, see the 286th session for an explanation of the way Seth receives envelope data.

(We believe this data is an example of the distortions Seth refers to. In my second question an attempt is made to get more specific data. Possibly the above data refers to Marjorie as proprietor of The Art Shop, and her two helpers, my first cousin Ruth Gridley, and the framemaker Roy Fox. All of these people are friends of ours, bespeaking emotional involvement. But in answer to the second question, Seth cites Jane’s difficulty, and the thought of my mother, her cousin Vivian, and Vivian’s husband Bill. Vivian and Bill, from Virginia, visited my parents last weekend, and Jane and I saw much of them.

(Note that in here Seth gives three blocks of data relating to one facet of the events connected to the bill used as object. This involved Bill Ward and his product. Before that, Marjorie Buck was involved, with the object itself and its origin.

(Distortion probably operates here. Note that the bill used as the object has blue lines upon it. Bill Ward’s artwork arrived in a large rectangular package, but contained no tissue paper and bore no ribbons or string; it was instead sealed with tape. Nor did it contain any blue. Jane thinks she may have received accurate-enough data from Seth about a package, and constructed perhaps the ribbons herself because that is symbolic of packages. She used blue ribbons perhaps through a distortion of the blue pertaining to the envelope object.

(“Some orange or red perhaps.” In light of the data obtained in answer to the second question, it is quite possible that the red reference here concerns my mother. Red is very definitely her favorite color, a fact of which Jane is well aware. Seth has also commented upon this quite a few times.

(2nd Question: Who are the two women you mentioned? Initials? “We are having difficulty with Ruburt here, for he thinks of Vivian and your mother.” See the interpretation of the “two women and a man” data at the bottom of page 120. I tried to clarify that data here. My thought was that the two women and a man Seth referred to were Marjorie Buck, Ruth Gridley, and Roy Fox, all connected directly to The Art Shop, which furnished the bill used as envelope object. Jane evidently had in mind my mother, and Vivian and Bill Crowder, relatives from Virginia whom we saw this weekend. Seth apparently wanted to lead Jane away from the relative connection; but still volunteered no more specific information.

(Seth referred to flowers toward the bottom of page 118.

(7th Question: A capital M? “And perhaps two S’s, and a 1961.” By repeating Seth’s data I hoped he would furnish more information on the M. We can see no definite connections with two S’s or 1961. Two of the capital M’s on the object itself are in the words Must, in a line at the bottom concerning claims, and in Moore Business Forms, Inc.
