“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Smaller shapes, fairly dark perhaps like leaves in shadow. A connection with a note or letter. At least a connection with writing that is not on the object itself. That is, other writing, either in a note or beneath these images which I believe are on the object.

(“What kind of images?”)

I believe the object has images on it of people.

(Pause, eyes closed, envelope still to forehead.) I have the image of people. Let us see. Of four adults. Do you have questions?

(I tried something a little different during the experiment and Jane said now that she didn’t know whether it helped or not. The idea being simply to offer Seth encouragement when he was right, or close, or to ask a question at the moment to develop a bit of data further. She was aware that the approach was different. With the exception of an image of a photo of her schoolday friend, Marie Tubbs, Jane said she did not know if she had any images or not.

(“Smaller shapes, fairly dark, perhaps like leaves in shadow. A connection with a note or letter. At least a connection with writing that is not on the object itself. That is, other writing, either in a note or beneath these images which I believe are on the object.” This is good data, and refers to the list Jane made out herself to supplement my list. See page 190. Jane made her list out Tuesday morning, November 29, after I had given her a copy of the list used as envelope object Monday, November 28.

(The two lists were linked in Jane’s mind of course by images, common goals, etc, of many kinds. One item of similarity showing up on both lists is the “cash check" data, referring to a check I had received for a painting recently….The mail package data on Jane’s list refers to the errand package discussed on page 195 under the Florida data. I had forgotten to add this item to my list.

(1st Question: What kind of images? “The small leaflike shapes, for example.” Evidently this is a reference to handwriting.

(“I believe the object has images on it of people.” When I told Seth the object did not, Jane said it bothered her but not Seth. She said she thought it a good idea to continue the experiments in this vein however. I was trying to see what answers along the way would do to help spur Seth on towards more data, when I noted that he was off the track.

(“I have the image of people. Let us see. Of four adults.” It can of course be said that Jane and I and the Bernards are linked rather strongly to the list used as object, and through that to Jane’s list, as already explained.
