“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 82nd envelope experiment had as object common black pepper, poured into the inner of the two regular sealed envelopes we use. Hence no drawing is necessary. Results were good.

Now, do you have an envelope for me?

(At 9:45 Jane took the double sealed envelope from me for the 82nd experiment and pressed it to her closed eyes in a horizontal manner briefly, before gesturing with it.)

(Break at 9:55. Jane had spoken rapidly, her eyes closed, the envelope held up to her face practically the whole time. She had one image which will be mentioned in place. Seth returned and helped us out on a few connections, but in the meantime we made our own.

(The “object" was, as stated, common black pepper. I shook a small amount of it into an envelope, sealed it, then placed this between the usual two pieces of Bristol board and sealed the sandwich in another envelope. No writing was involved. Jane said that as she held the envelope to her head she did not hear anything move within; nor did she shake the envelope, etc.

(“A cloudlike or leaflike effect, or like pebbles, you see.” More development on the above data, the loose pepper could assume cloudlike shapes with the envelope, etc.

(The pebbles data could also stem from the tin can of pepper used to fill the plastic shaker with which I filled the envelope. Jane located the pepper can in the kitchen. It was a McCormick product. On it were the words “Pure Ground Black Pepper," etc., pebbles and ground being related.

(“Something upside down, or difficult to tell the top from the bottom.” To me, this referred certainly to the pepper shaker, as I turned it upside down while shaking into the envelope. The shaker itself is modern in design and is filled from the bottom.

(“The impression of fine, finely patterned edges. Blacks and whites.” Again, the pepper itself. When Jane opened the double sealed envelopes, she found the pepper had settled in a loose line at the bottom of the inside envelope; thus it formed a fine patterned edge, which also consisted of black and lighter colored grains even though the pepper is called black, in actuality less than half of it seemed to be black, literally.

(As we finished going over the data, Jane then remembered that as she was giving it she was going to say something about the implication of motion being connected with the object; for reasons unknown she didn’t give voice to it. Perhaps the motion referred to my moving the shaker as I put some pepper in the envelope, etc.
