“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.

(“Sturdy.” Yes. The linen artist’s canvas is very strong and sturdy, the best kind to use for paintings, and I bought it with this purpose in mind.

(“Small squares, perhaps three of these.” Upon examination it can be seen that the linen canvas used as object is made up of small squares of thread, especially when it is held up to the light. I believe the three data following are also related here.

(“And a connection with, I believe, the same number of large colored squares or rectangles. Rather brilliant. The color red among others, and yellow.” It seems here that Jane referred to the purpose for which I bought the canvas—to paint on. Some of my recent work has been in the abstract vein, also, and incorporates squares, angles, etc., some of them in brilliant primary colors. Actually I have not painted any pictures on the specific batch of linen which furnished tonight’s envelope object; but I have painted on other canvas of a comparable texture, etc., and which was prepared in the same manner. Association thus could be at work. There could be other connections also.

[...] A J and a C. A linen shop on a cobblestone street, with the numbers 2 1 5; or separately 1 2 and then 215 connected. [...]

(Section of linen canvas practically identical with that used as object in the 84th envelope experiment in the 319th session for February 13,1967.)

[...] In this brief but clear moment of critical consciousness, I saw a linen cabinet, open. [...]

[...] The other said my description seemed to apply to those in his bathroom linen closet. [...]
