“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.

A miscellany of united objects or images, of small patterns like dots but larger than small dots. Light and dark, rather highly contracted.

(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 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.

(“A foreign connection.” We thought the pepper, or object, itself, since it comes from foreign lands.

(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.

Those who strive high must know what they do, and understand the effects of not working hard enough, of not allowing themselves sufficient freedom. Apparently he could learn no other way. It will be an object lesson for the rest of his life, but it was not thrust upon him, you see.
