“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.

The journey itself is as instantaneous as a projection from here to, say, Puerto Rico. You are simply delving more deeply into the moment point in the reincarnational instance. In your (underlined) terms you are staying there longer.

When you are attached to the physical organism your projections are not as complete—the difference between a reincarnational instance and a simple projection from the physical state. Obviously the sense data appears the same. In both instances you appear to be physically perceiving, and so you are. In a projection you are still within the physical system as a rule, though there are definite exceptions here.

Something like a toy that is misplaced. Brass. I am not sure here. The connection leads to buttons. A party. 1731. An actual replica, or something happening all over again, as a commemoration. Orange and purple. A paper item, but rougher rather than smooth, background. Perhaps a colored paper. Purple.

(“An impression I do not understand. Gubatorial, blue. Something in the vernacular.” This we regard as excellent data. Jane groped a bit on gubatorial, although I had no trouble putting down her pronouncement here. The data is made even clearer in answering the one question asked. The object features election day sales on both sides. Since the New York State elections, including that for the governorship, were due on November 9, it is apparent that Jane was trying for the word gubernatorial, with which she is not particularly familiar on a conscious level.

(“The impression of small squares with orange, I believe, circles in the center.” We are not sure. There is no orange on the object, or page 11/12, for instance. Jane had an image here but cannot describe it now.

(“Brass. I am not sure here. The connection leads to buttons.” See page 152, for a sketch of the full page from which the object was torn. Five female models wear coats, and many buttons are visible on the coats. The buttons appear to be cloth-covered however, in the photographs.

(“A party.” There is a party, meaning company, reference on page 12 of the sheet from which the object was torn, in the lower left-hand corner. The copy here concerns the white dinnerware set, part of which is shown on the object itself also. The ad copy extols the virtues of Rosemont White dinnerware: …you won’t think twice about using it every day, and you’ll show it off when company comes, too.

(A perhaps less likely party reference can be found on page 11 also, again in the lower left-hand corner. See page 152. Here the word Christmas is used in connection with a Christmas job at Macy’s.
