“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The object is a chain, or connected with a chain. It is of dull silver color, of necklace length perhaps. Two other objects are connected with it. Two other objects have been on the chain at various times. One, a fairly oval object, of an inserted brown background, and a raised cream-colored area.

(Checking the day after this experiment, I found that the chain contains five large links, each perhaps two inches in diameter. The chain is made of gold coated stock, that is card stock that is gold on one side. The gold side of the stock is on the outside of the links so that they sparkle when sunlight strikes them. Seth’s mention of a visual impression, and the yellow and circle data, reminded me of the chain. We cannot determine the meaning of the red five data however.

(We do not know whether the chain interpretation is correct. It would be very interesting, if so, since Jane has never seen the chain, nor as stated even the plant itself since I took it to the office. Nor did she know the paper chain existed; she is quite sure I did not tell her of this, and I have no memory of doing so.

(The next question was: “How about that five in a circle?” “The impression is visual. The circle outlined in yellow, I believe, and I see visually a red five inside.” This puzzled us, and we think it contains some sort of distortion as far as the red five is concerned. Part of this data may be valid. As a joke one of my coworkers at the office hung a homemade chain from the top of the wooden stick which supports the begonia. The stick is visible in the drawing used as object. I did not of course show the chain in the drawing.

[...] Still, it seems to be mechanical, rather than for example a jewelry chain. It has a mechanical use, and perhaps a connection with two boxes, rather small in themselves, which are raised and lowered or moved, by the chain.
