“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See page 279 for a copy of the object. As usual I placed it between two pieces of cardboard, then sealed it in two envelopes. Jane’s eyes remained closed as she gave the data. The object is a strip from a piece of linen canvas which I bought a few weeks ago at the Art Shop, in Elmira. Details on this will be given as the data is interpreted. Seth doesn’t discuss the data, and we made our own connections.

(“An old date, 18 or 1932.” Possibly a reference to the old brick building which houses the Art Shop, on Elmira’s West Water Street. The location is a few blocks down street from our house address. The building is old, but probably not as old as 1832. Nor is Tom’s car as old as 1932 for instance.

(“A view of water.” Another reference to the Art Shop, and through this the object. In Elmira the Art Shop is located on West Water Street, which parallels the Chemung River through the heart of the city. The river can be seen from the back door of the Art Shop, and from the second-story workroom above where Tom makes his frames, etc. It was in this large upstairs room that Tom described his car troubles to Jane.
