“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 79th envelope object was a drawing made by me on Friday, November 25th, at work. It was a joke on Don Wilbur; Don and his wife, Marilyn, visited us that Friday evening and I showed them the sketch. I thought also that Jane saw the object that evening, but as it developed she did not. Thus, she had never seen the drawing until after the experiment. This evening I placed it between two pieces of Bristol, then sealed it in the usual double envelopes.

Now do you have an envelope for me?

(At 10:08, Jane took the envelope for our 79th experiment from me. Her eyes closed, she raised it to her forehead in a horizontal position, as usual. Her delivery was rather fast.)

Connection with colored paper, I believe. An envelope. Dissonance. U.S.A. Connection with a lake or water, or a bowl.

The object—an envelope or letter and some reference to a third party. Connection with MG.

(Jane still held the envelope to her forehead.

(Break at 10:27. Jane was again well dissociated. Her eyes had remained closed, her pace good. She could recall a few images she’d had while speaking, and said more would come to mind as we went over the data. At the moment she remembered something small in a left-hand corner on an envelope; of a building of some kind; and of something round like a postmark or vaccination. Note that these are vague.

(I asked Jane to handle the envelope carefully as soon as she came out of trance, and to lay it flat on the table while opening both envelopes, etc., in order to see if the small object was in a left-hand corner. Apparently it had been centered however, although shifting might have taken place.)

(“And a solid horizontal line, black or dark". Perhaps close here. There are solid black lines on the object—both the border and the pattern on the shirt. When Jane carefully opened the double envelopes experiment, I found the object positioned thus far as I could tell:

(It has been noted that Jane held the sealed envelopes to her forehead in a horizontal position, or with their long axes parallel to the floor. Thus part of the black border on the object, or the pattern on the shirt, would appear horizontal if Seth picked this data up in a somewhat literal way.

(“Something by itself in a low left-hand corner.” As noted earlier, when the double envelopes were opened the object appeared to have been centered within them. Jane said she’d had an image of a small object in a corner of an envelope, however.

(“An envelope.” The object, being a parody of a postage stamp, calls an envelope to mind.

(“A note, somehow connected with a dissatisfaction. An inordinate amount of time taken. Too many of something to hold. JB, or Ruburt; that is, Jane Butts here.” We don’t know. Without Seth’s help we cannot see connections. As stated, Jane was present when the envelope object was shown to the Wilburs on their visit here; perhaps Seth was getting at the fact that Jane didn’t actually see the object that evening.

(“A perpendicular arrangement with dots.” As noted in the sketch at the top of page 209, some of the lines on the object would be perpendicular as Jane held the envelope to her forehead. She said the dot data referred to the tiny red lines on the eyeballs of the drawing; to her they appeared to be dots, being quite small.

(“The object—an envelope or letter, and some reference to a third party.” The object is not an envelope or letter; see page 203. But being a drawing of a postage stamp, it is closely related to both such data. We are not sure about Seth’s reference to a third party; there could be several possibilities.

(3rd Question: Can you say anything more about the drawing? “In the corner?" As noted on page 209, apparently the object was centered inside the double envelopes. Jane however had an image of a small object in a corner of an envelope.
