“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“A miscellany of united objects or images, of small patterns like dots but larger than small dots. Light and dark, rather highly contracted.” Excellent data, and Jane did everything but name the object as pepper. I almost called a halt to the data here, on impulse, but then decided to see what else Seth came up with.

(“Connection with a squirrel or small animal," We were partly correct here. Again, Seth helps out later. We thought possibly the animal reference concerned our occasional use of pepper acorns, which we used to grind ourselves. Jane has remarked that these remind her of bird feed, which we put out on the roof beside our kitchen windows. Squirrels also use the bird feeder.

(“and perhaps a target.” We were correct here, in thinking target referred either to the hole in the bottom of the pepper shaker, or the hole in the McCormick can itself. This hole is covered by a red plastic plug.

(“Something stands on rocks. A face.” Here Jane had an image—that of her face, small, as she stood on some rocks and near water. She was not sure in the image, that she was near an ocean, particularly. The face she saw was not that in a photo, but herself, alive. Seth explains this later.

(“Writing on one side. The back, I believe, and something relating to images on the front. On the back I mean handwriting. Steps. Ruburt thinks of an old photograph of himself, with his dog. And connects this with his father.” Again Seth helps out here after break. We think this data stems partly from the image Jane had of herself earlier, and that two ideas are mixed up here. There is a Baltimore connection, in that Baltimore is mentioned on the pepper can, as explained; also, Jane has a photo of herself taken on a set of the typical white Baltimore stone steps, with her dog, Mischa, now dead.

(There is also a father connection here, as Seth explains with the salt and pepper shakers and the new set of dishes to which they belong.

Now. I do not particularly see the benefit of too much afterdiscussion with these experiments, unless of course there is something to be learned. And here there is.

The target. A poor interpretation, applying to the necessity of filling the hole of the shaker; and the red symbol on the can was meant here.

One note here. We shall be continuing our discussion of human personality and its composition, along with that which is, for they are inseparable.

This means that others are involved, you see. This is your decision. There may be friends who would like to contact their own relatives. You might start here when you are ready. But when you are ready, comparative strangers would be best, ideally speaking.
