“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The typing below the photo and on the back sums up the content of the news stories on the object. Jane last saw the object about three weeks ago, but did not know it was in my possession particularly, when I decided to use it as an object. I folded it once as indicated on page 168 before inserting it in the usual double envelopes.

(“A circumvention.” My interpretation involves the article on the back of the object. See page 169, and my insert, originally omitted and added with this typing. The news article concerns the Feinberg Law, which spells out the intent of the New York State Legislature in the Education Law, concerning the removal of any school employees for treasonable or seditious acts. The pertinent lines in the story being: “This law in no way violates the constitutional rights of freedom of speech, press or assembly. The Constitution was meant to preserve our gov’t., not to serve as a protecting screen for those who would seek to destroy it…”

(“Connection with a barrister or lawyer.” The whole of the news story indicated on the back of the object, as shown on page 169 concerns law, statues, the Constitution, overthrow, rights, government, etc., plus the mention of two names: Feinberg, and Aronowitz. Feinberg sponsored a law bearing his name, and possibly is, or was, a New York State legislator. We do not know the profession of Mr. Aronowitz, who is quoted in the article via a lecture delivered about the law. Evidently he is connected to New York State in some official capacity.

(“With civil, or civil rights.” Again see the article on the back of the object, shown on page 169. The whole tone of the news story about the Feinberg law and the Education Law of New York State concerns the protection of civil rights, and protection by the Constitution; but without using the constitution as a hiding place for subversives, etc. We regard this as excellent data.

(“and also with a serial number.” Again not sure. On the back of the object, in the Globe electrical ad, there are two series of numbers: 449 Broadway, and phone 1505. In the news article above, is a mention of section 3021 of the New York education law.

(1st Question: What color is the object? “Connection with an orange yellow white. With something inept perhaps. Not formalized. Perhaps poorly done, though I do not believe this impression should be carried precisely that far. More ill-defined perhaps.” Again, we made no connections as far as colors go with the object. However, the rest of this data can refer to the last paragraph of the news story on the back of the object. See page 169. “There was also a dispute over whether or not a secondary school teacher would have the freedom to teach even the concepts of Communism, without being afraid of misinterpretation.This seemed to involve interpretation, and the final answer is left to the people.” Something ill-defined, not formalized, etc., applies here.

(3rd Question: What’s that lawyer connection? “I am not sure. Laws or edicts.” As stated earlier, both the news items on the front and back of the object concerns laws, edicts, etc.

(6th Question: Do you want to name the object? “It seems like a note, with something else on it—like a note in combination with something else. Pictures or symbols on a note.” This is excellent data and Seth is very close. See pages 168 and 169.The object, as stated, bears many of the characteristics of a note, since it contains news stories. It also bears pictures and/or symbols, on both the front and the back.

(11th Question: Can you say anything about the two females? “An apparent misdeed, connected with one or them. Younger rather than older.” This can be a reference to Jane herself. She appears in the photo on the front of the envelope object, and the news story thereon concerns her election as president of the Skidmore College Day Students Council. See page 168.
