“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“A seven times six, or 42.” There are many numbers on both sides of the object and its parent page, 11 and 12, since the page features sales of bedding, blankets, sheets, cases, etc., all by size and color and dimension. There is a 42 on page 12 of the newspaper page from which the object is taken. See page 153. In the upper right area of an ad, pillowcases are quoted: 42 x 36 inch, etc.

(See pages 152 and 153. Election Day sales are mentioned specifically in the headings for the sales described on both pages 11 and 12, from which the object was torn. Gubernatorial is a word in the vernacular. Blue is referred to both on the object itself on the page 11 side in the line: Norwegian natural blue fox… etc.; and is torn through on the page 12 side in the line referring to a sale of thermal blankets: White, green, pink, blue, gold. Blue also appears on page 12 of the full sheet, in a list of colors for imperfect sheets on sale, and in other places on page 11/12.

(See the article indicated to the upper left on page 12 of the full sheet, page 153. The article concerns the efforts of a priest to build a seminary in Portugal. The priest’s order, the Dominicans, had been expelled from Portugal in 1834, and was readmitted in 1940.

(“Connection with a monstrosity, as of a monstrous building, perhaps old Victorian. The first impression was of monstrosity, the rest is interpretation.” See the article indicated to the upper left on page 11 of the full sheet from which the object was torn, page 152. This concerns the prison population of Portugal’s prisons, and the prison system itself. Discussed in the article is the building of a network of modern establishments, to “replace a few big antiquated prisons,” etc. Other references include such phrases as “prisons were of very low standard,” etc.

(In the large ad to the right of the article on page 12 is a reference to mint green sheets, in rather heavy type, also.

(“ Illia. I do not know to what this refers.” Illia is my interpretation of what Jane said, with some emphasis. The only word remotely approaching this is Aldeia Nova, meaning New Village, and is found in the article on page 12 of the full sheet, dealing with the Dominican Seminary in Portugal. See page 153.

(A possible distortion of aqua blue, found on the same page to the right, in a list of sheet colors?

(“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.

(“One nine four three.” The year date, 1943, is mentioned in the article on the Dominican Seminary, on page 12 of the full sheet from which the object was torn: It was started in 1943, three years after the Dominican Order was readmitted, etc.

(“An inadequate performance.” Jane said she thought this a reference to the article on prisons of Portugal, in column one of page 11 of the full sheet. The article presents some of the history of Portuguese prisons, mentioning their past low standards, overcrowding, etc.

(“And something to do with a name. And some word like January or Januarious.” This is good subjective data to Jane, and refers to the article on the Dominican Seminary on page 12 of the full sheet. Jane is well informed regarding religious matters. As a Catholic youngster, she had a teacher named Sister Januarious in grade school. She still remembers the sister quite well, for she made a good impression.

(“Something like a toy that is misplaced.” This could imply something lost, and toy could imply a gift or children perhaps. We speculate whether this data refers to the short article about the Ceylon eye bank, in column one on page 11 of the full sheet, from which the object was torn. See page 152.

(“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.

(“Orange and purple.” Again no connections, unless one can make them from the list of sheet colors on the full page 12: Soft beige, pastel blue, pastel pink, mint green, orchid mist [Jane said this would be a purple], aqua blue, yellow. Or the colors listed for the thermal blankets, the list being partially visible on the page 12 side of the object: White, green, pink, blue, gold.

(“Perhaps a colored paper.” As stated the object is in black and various shades of gray, printed on white. Colors are mentioned on the page 12 side of the object, in the thermal blanket ad, and of course on both sides of the full sheet from which the object was torn.
