“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“The impression of stairs or steps. Something ascending in this fashion, you see.” Here Jane gestured positively that something rose on the object at perhaps a 30-degree angle, perhaps less. This is my estimate. There are no steps shown on the object, but the brick walk is in perspective, and rises perhaps at a 20-degree angle from left to right. The separate bricks in the walk, which are not cemented together incidentally, could perhaps have led to the use of stairs or steps.

(“and graduating, as something graduates in size perhaps.” Since the brick walk in the photo was photographed in perspective, there is a graduation in the size of the bricks. They are largest in the lower left hand corner of the object, tapering up to the right border.

(Seth continues in answer to the first question: “A visual connection, with square or rectangular objects in the center of a larger area”, refers to the rectangular bricks marching up across the center of the object. “with modern connotations as a design might have.” refers to the very modern, rounded or circular design of Marilyn’s ceramic cat. “Perhaps connected with spindly lines or strings.” refers to the abstract pattern created, in line form, by the narrow crevices and shadows around the individual bricks, all these lines being interconnected.

(“Colors green and yellow.” Don took the picture of the ceramic cat as it sat on a brick wall cutting across grass as indicated in the tracing on page 206. This particular roll of Polaroid color film had been exposed to heat; Don took the chance that it would still give legible pictures. As it was the color print used as object has a dull, overall brownish cast, yet the local colors are still visible, to a reduced degree.

I saw a brick structure—don’t know whether or not it was a riding academy—had a very wide entrance—related to the accident mentioned before. [...]

[...] She said the color purple could apply to the brick facing depicted in the photograph. [...] Our dog sits before the Bronx, NY, house of Jane’s aunt; Jane said she well remembers the peculiar blue and red cast of the bricks. I saw the house once some years ago but have no conscious memory of the brick color.

[...] When you build physical structures you pile brick upon brick. [...]

[...] A strange connection in this respect, not at all clear; having to do with bricks or the laying of bricks, and a prior incident leading up to this that happened in 1963. [...]

[...] At least part of the time I was in a brick-walled room partially underground. [...]

[...] Part of the time I was also outside of this brick room. [...]

(Five items could be the station wagon, a cup of coffee, a pile of bricks, paint-stained khakis, and the world itself; but this is open to other interpretations, we would say. [...] I do not know what to make of the reference to hills, unless it is a rather far-out connection with the “pile of bricks” simile in the script.

[...] With a young agile man, I’d climbed up the rough outside red brick wall of an apartment house—several stories up, at least, and climbed in through a window into my own apartment. [...]

[...] “Like even if I give one that’s at the bottom, like a brick at the bottom of a building, I know the ones up at the top of the building.”

[...] I’m waiting for them to totter down on us like a pile of bricks.” [...]

[...] A man walked out into the street and was killed by a falling brick. [...]

When I say “You create your own reality through your thoughts,” you, meaning anyone, have a tendency to imagine each thought as a small brick, a psychological object, each one being formed into the structure of your experience. [...]

[...] Something to do with bricks. [...]

[...] If buildings are constructed of bricks quite visible, so mass events are formed by many small, invisible happenings — each, however, fitting together quite precisely in a kind of psychological masonry in which each of you has a mental hand. [...]

[...] (Pause.) On a corner by a large brick building, red building. [...]

[...] Perhaps his attempts to reach us are often like battering at a brick wall. [...]

[...] For example, I was thinking of the Los Angeles earthquake, one man walked out into the street and was killed by a brick. [...]

[...] A brick building, the meeting not on the ground floor. [...]
