“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the tracing of the envelope object on page 278. As stated, the object is the front page of the announcement of the marriage of my brother Loren’s daughter, Linda, to Dennis Murray of Brooklyn, NY. Once again Seth goes over the data with us, so immediately below is listed, first, the connections Jane and I made ourselves.

(“An entrance,” Linda, a Protestant, married a Catholic in a Brooklyn church. Jane said she felt the reference to an entrance concerned the recent decision by the Ecumenical Council in Rome, to the effect that Protestants could now be allowed to enter the altar enclosure to be married. My brother Loren told us Sunday that this decision is so recent that his daughter was the first to be married in such a fashion in this church.

(“An initiation, and a bringing together of fragments.” We thought this of course a reference to Linda’s marriage. The use of the word fragments here, by Seth, led us to think that reincarnational motives might be involved in the marriage; but I did not think to quiz Seth about this when he resumed. In the very early sessions Seth began to use fragment as a reference to each physical personality manifested by the entity.

(“Four, the number four. A connection with an older man.” This was perhaps a vague reference to the father of the groom; he is quite a bit older than my brother, who is Linda’s father. Later, Jane told me that this was a reference to brother Loren, Linda’s father.

(“A disturbance that was not unexpected”, we thought a reference to the disapproval with which Linda’s maternal grandmother greeted the news of the marriage. She definitely was not in favor of it, as everybody knew.

(“and a result that was expected and hoped for.” Linda did want to get married, of course.

(“Too many too soon. November six three”, are very accurate references to Linda, but are here not explained because of personal reasons on her part. The data are available however to anyone making a study of these experiments. The numbers refer to November 1963; during this month Linda was involved in a strong emotional experience that was unique for her.

(“and a letter that did not meet your approval.” This is a reference to the letter written to Jane and me by Linda’s mother, on January 24, telling us about Linda’s marriage on January 22.

(“A connection with something twice” is another quite accurate reference by Seth to personal matters involving Linda, and data on this are withheld here for the same reason announced above. The three pieces of data that are not explained in this experiment are the best, incidentally, that Seth gave in connection with the object.
