“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.

(Jane began speaking in trance while sitting down; she was smoking; her eyes began to open soon; her pace was rather fast and her voice quite loud, comparatively—the loudest it has been in some time.)

(Break at 9:25. Jane said she was “pretty far-out.” The strong voice had swept her along, with few short pauses. Eyes open often, delivery active. Resume in the same manner at 9:33.)

(Break at 9:54. Again Jane was well dissociated. Her delivery had again been forceful, the voice loud, the eyes open often, but the pace had slackened somewhat near the end. Resume in about the same manner at 10:00.)

(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.)

(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.)

(“A rectangle and a square. Perhaps the square within the rectangle.” This we think very good data. See page 203. As indicated by the pencil line on the object, the object was assembled from two pieces of white paper, with the inside piece pasted in position. The larger piece is obviously a rectangle. Actually the smaller piece is also, but inclines in proportion toward the square to a much greater degree. And this piece is within the rectangle.

(In addition, the idea of a federal building enters in, in that the object is a pseudopostage stamp. Monument can also apply, for in the U.S. only deceased persons are shown on stamps; thus an appearance on a stamp is a kind of tribute and a sort of monument. Jane said she did not know of this policy. I was familiar with it through collecting stamps years ago. Telepathy here?

(“I do not believe the following is precisely correct here: Something like tottle or turtle. Perhaps having to do with a name or address.” Jane said this was her way of getting at a connection with Don Wilbur’s wife, Marilyn. The connection being that Don was spoofed on the object.

(“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.

(“Connection with MG.” Again we are not sure. No one with those initials for instance was present on the evening the object was shown about. A possible reference: M for Marilyn Wilbur, wife of the young Don Wilbur shown on the object; and G for the Gallaghers. The Wilburs and Gallaghers being present that Friday night, November 25,1966.

(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.
