“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“A reference to several items of a kind. That is an announcement made, a reference made, about several items of a kind.” Column three contains references to a collection of abstracts [which are paintings], ceramics and metal sculpture. Two of these are plural. Columns five and six of the object contain references to a bookstore and the books on display in the window there. This store is but a few doors down the street—East Water Street.

(“With something revolving, and with an oval shape that is not a perfect circle.” In the third column of the envelope object there is a reference to “ceramics and metal sculpture” also in the window with the nude painting that is the subject of the object. Directly in back of the painting is a large circular ceramic sculpture, perhaps a foot in diameter, that is more egg-shaped than a perfect circle. This has a textured, matte surface. Just to the right of this sculpture is another egg-shaped sculpture; this one is of polished silvery metal and is perhaps ten inches across. It stands on a wooden pedestal; the polished reflections in it seem to move as one’s viewpoint changes. We believe this is the oval shape Seth refers to, in light of his answer to my second question.

(“A connection with something distant,” In the sixth column of the envelope object there is a reference to Corning—Painted Post School District, which employs Bill as an art teacher. This is perhaps twenty-five miles away. Bill lives here in Elmira and commutes to work daily. The time he can spend at his gallery in Elmira is thus quite limited—another reason for the schedule of hours posted in one of the windows, as mentioned on page 109.

(“with three people in particular.” When the police asked Bill to remove the painting from his gallery window, he asked advice from three people in particular. Two of the people are named in the sixth column of the envelope object. These two supported Bill’s decision to leave the painting in the window. The third man, Ernfred Anderson, who has a national reputation as a sculptor and teacher at Elmira College, and is a close friend of Bill, Jane and mine, advised Bill to remove the painting. Bill told Jane and me this on his visit earlier this evening, although we had heard this from other friends several days ago.

[...] Bill said the layout suggested for the ad was for four columns. When he got to the office and tried to make a layout for four columns however, he found it to be too crowded and switched to a five-column layout. [...]

(“Also a column, or columns.” Jane said she thought this data, tacked on at the close, referred to the fact that she has an idea to sell a weekly column on ESP to the local paper, and has been working up samples lately.

[...] Jane said she thought this a reference to the article on prisons of Portugal, in column one of page 11 of the full sheet. [...]

[...] We speculate whether this data refers to the short article about the Ceylon eye bank, in column one on page 11 of the full sheet, from which the object was torn. [...]

[...] Now today her head once more began to flop back and forth very rapidly on the column of her neck. [...]

[...] It appeared on the same page of the newspaper, just above the center column of the object itself, but was attched to another article about Mrs. Berry.

[...] This photo was included in another article; the photo was centered above the middle column of the object. [...]

[...] The number is 9. Near the bottom of the first column in her story Peggy writes that Mrs. Berry learned of her election victory soon after the polls closed at 9 PM. [...]

[...] Then her head began to turn upon the column of her neck upon her shoulders as they moved in rhythm. [...]

[...] I realized now that the end of our ledge was held up now by only a thin column of stone, but didn’t feel alarmed at this. The stone column seemed to be aglow, or hot.

[...] Jane could also turn her head to the right, on the column of her neck, to look towards me a bit, in a way she can’t usually do. [...]

[...] But other quite as legitimate “yous” may write, read, and experience the same page backwards, or read each letter downward and back up again, as you would a column of figures. [...]

[...] Do you read the gossip column? [...]

At the first sign of failure last autumn with the ESP column, he pulled out entirely, while he applied for job after job.

[...] This psychological growth, and the many challenges involved, set her work apart from the mental calculator’s numbers or the musician’s notes, which are ever the same: Those friendly columns of figures, for instance, add up to identical sums in any language. [...]

[...] Now they’re climbing up the bones of my spinal column and straightening them out and doing things...”

[...] Curtis Fuller’s column deals in part with Gene Bernard, although the material therein was evidently taken from the wire stories concerning Gene last year.

(“Synchronicity” also seemed to be involved with the dream, for in today’s paper I found myself reading a column in the sports section, concerning knee injuries —and this in turn triggered my remembering that Ralph Ramstad had a “trick knee,” as he used to call it, the result I believe of a childhood accident. [...]

[...] (Then Jane said: “I have no idea what this means:” ) And 3 in the yellow column would lead to annihilation. [...]

(She had worked out a two-column system that seemed rather good to us, but neither of us had realized the very intense effort involved would be detrimental. [...]

(I have indicated the highlights of both sides of the object by typewriter; actually it was printed in two columns, instead of the one I have indicated. [...]

[...] It was a two-column notice with a heavy black border, and stated that I would be at the show on February 7,1965, from 1 to 3 PM.
