“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 76th envelope experiment was held tonight. The object was torn by me from pages 11 and 12 of the New York Times’ first news section for Sunday, November 6,1966. See the two previous pages. I chose the object at random by a method which will be explained later. Suffice it to say here that I did not see the object until Jane opened the usual double-sealed envelopes after giving the data. I did however know the object came from the New York Times. Results were good.

Liberal giving two—two of a kind—two a date, or 2:00 o’clock.

(Seth did not return to help us out; in the meantime we made our own connections. Section One of the Times was many pages thick, as is usual on a Sunday. Therefore Jane and I arbitrarily decided to limit the interpretations and connections to the object itself, and the one page—11/12—from which it was torn. These two items are on file along with the front page of the section.

(“Liberal giving two—two of a kind—two a date, or 2:00 o’clock.” To the far left of the page 11 side of the object is the bottom section of a help-wanted ad by Macy’s in New York City. One of the headings in larger type is: Want a job with liberal discounts?

(“Some figures.” Both sides of the object contain many numbers. Also on the page 11 side of the object can be seen portions of two female figures—a foot, and the hemline and knees of another model. On the full page 11 are the figures of five women, modeling new styles of fall coats. See page 152.

(“And a distant connection with a skull or skull shape.” This, Jane said, is a reference to the faces of the five models shown on the full page 11, with the lower portions of two of them visible on the object itself. In the photos all the women wear the new close-fitting hats that cover up the hair. These hats throw their faces into bold relief, and give a skull-like or egg-shaped look.

(“Four divided.” Four divided gives two, if this is the correct interpretation. There are references involving two on both sides of the object, and the sheet from which it was torn. For instance on the page 11 side of the object: 2-skin natural male mink; on the page 12 side: Twin size, etc.
