“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.

You will learn through experience many and excellent methods that can be utilized for your advantage. Through projections you will become acquainted with the mobility and stability of the inner self, as separate from the physical apparatus.

A method of disposal. An impression I do not understand. Gubatorial. (Jane pronounced this as though groping a bit.) Blue. Something in the vernacular.

(This procedure left me knowing only one thing about the object: that it came from some section of the New York Times, date unknown. Jane and I have often speculated on what part telepathy plays in the envelope experiments, since I usually am consciously aware of the object in detail. I thought the method used tonight might make ordinary telepathy harder to divine on Jane’s part. As it was we think the results were good; Seth evidently clairvoyantly read the object. If he got any help from me it was telepathy twice removed.

(“A method of disposal.” Sales certainly are methods of disposal, and sales are dealt with on both sides of the object itself, including use of the word sale, several times. [2,000. I wish I had the object to show. I lost it years ago!]

(Jane and I wonder about the coincidence involved in my selecting, by the blind method on page 158, a newspaper page that features an article about religion, and the Catholic religion at that. See page 153. Religion is one of Jane’s strong points.
