“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The traveling consciousness as you know it often experiences the feeling of motion and movement through space. This is because there is still translation through the physical senses. You are moving more effectively within camouflage reality, but you are still dealing with it. The focus of your attention has changed somewhat, but you are still strongly relating to the physical field.

Now it is possible for someone within the physical body to perceive someone who is not, but it is not usual. And the perceiver must then be a person of strong psychic abilities, whether or not he realizes this. Or the projecting personality must be either driven by high emotional intensity to make himself known, or be of exceptional ability.

No. I am saying that the image I see gives me this impression. It may or may not be the actual object, but seems to be strongly connected with it. And something raised up from a surface, as something embossed.

(Pause. Jane still held the envelope horizontally to her forehead, but by now she had shifted hands several times while doing so. Eyes closed.)

That was a result of a square impression. But this also has to do with a connection out of country.

(“Connection with an encounter.” Jane said this is definitely a reference to her first day of teaching, October 11,1966. The object is from the paycheck for this day’s work. Jane said that although she liked teaching, the first encounter with a class is one to be remembered. She has had odd jobs teaching in the past, but never in a school system, in a formal classroom, etc.

(“A four plus one”, No connections in particular, although there are several fours and ones on the envelope object. There are also fives. But no 41. Speculation.

(“and an initial—initials—I believe three, J A B.” Jane believes this refers to herself, and if so it is a strong connection with the object of course. Jane has no middle name now; her name used to be Dorothy Jane Roberts but she dropped the Dorothy when we were married 11 years ago. She chose the saint’s name of Ann however, as a Catholic girl at about age 12. But she puzzled over why the A would crop up now, since she never uses it. Nor did she particularly.

(“Toreador.” We made no connection here, but a legitimate one developed during the question-and-answer period.

(“Four numbers. A one and a nine.” There are many numbers on the object, but we don’t know what is meant by this data.

(“A city. Very distant connection with something like Cincinnati, Ohio.” A possible distant connection: At the end of her second day of teaching Jane was given a ride home by a next-door neighbor who is also a teacher. The neighbor is from Ohio, but not Cincinnati, which could account for Seth’s reference to “something like” Cincinnati. In addition, the neighbor had just returned to Elmira from a trip to Ohio, so the Ohio thought was mentioned in the conversation more than once. City is also mentioned on the object itself—City School District, etc.

(“An object having to do with a knife, and a pen. Sharp and pointed.” These data seem to go together. Jane recalled a connection with a pen, but nothing for a knife. She made a special effort to always have a pen with her when teaching, since she required one so often.

(2nd Question: Are you saying this is the object? “No. I am saying that the image I see gives me this impression. It may or may not be the actual object, but seems to be strongly connected with it. And something raised up from a surface, as something embossed.” More on the taxi-auto connection regarding Jane’s teaching, from whence comes the envelope object: Probably the multitude of numbers on the object also related it closely in the data to the license and auto ideas. By asking this question I hoped to lead Seth to be more specific about the object itself.

(Two male teachers and a female were involved with Jane while she sought work as a teacher—Mr. Don Hennigen and Mr. Albert Ryerson. Jane cannot now recall the name of the female supervisor, whom she met but once, but doesn’t think the initials tally. Others could be involved here—as on page 148.

(12th Question: You mentioned Piccadilly before. “That was a result of a square impression. But this also has to do with a connection out of country.” See our speculations regarding the Piccadilly data on page 147.
