“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Since this experiment was a little different, I had decided not to ask many questions, preferring to see what results were obtained without them. See the drawings on pages 152 and 153. When Jane came up with the Gubatorial data, I asked a question about this data only, and as I hoped she cleared it up.

(When these experiments began Seth told us he operated well clairvoyantly. He also cited a few examples where telepathy from me had helped out. [I lost this session’s envelope object years ago, so can only show the Times’s full page on pages 151 and 152. June 2000.]

(See pages 152 and 153. Election Day sales are mentioned specifically in the headings for the sales described on both pages 11 and 12, from which the object was torn. Gubernatorial is a word in the vernacular. Blue is referred to both on the object itself on the page 11 side in the line: Norwegian natural blue fox… etc.; and is torn through on the page 12 side in the line referring to a sale of thermal blankets: White, green, pink, blue, gold. Blue also appears on page 12 of the full sheet, in a list of colors for imperfect sheets on sale, and in other places on page 11/12.

(“Connection with a monstrosity, as of a monstrous building, perhaps old Victorian. The first impression was of monstrosity, the rest is interpretation.” See the article indicated to the upper left on page 11 of the full sheet from which the object was torn, page 152. This concerns the prison population of Portugal’s prisons, and the prison system itself. Discussed in the article is the building of a network of modern establishments, to “replace a few big antiquated prisons,” etc. Other references include such phrases as “prisons were of very low standard,” etc.

(There are many numerals 2 on both sides of the object. See pages 152 and 153, plus the [missing] object, etc. On the page 11 side of the object is the line in heavier type: Prime quality 2-skin natural male mink, etc. On the page 12 side of the object is the word twin.

(Perhaps the view reference in gray view refers to a short article on the page 11 side of the full page, in column one. It concerns an eye bank in Ceylon to aid South Vietnamese civilians. Could gray view refer to clouded vision, dim color perception? See page 152.

(“Some figures.” Both sides of the object contain many numbers. Also on the page 11 side of the object can be seen portions of two female figures—a foot, and the hemline and knees of another model. On the full page 11 are the figures of five women, modeling new styles of fall coats. See page 152.

(“A date above, connected with small black squares.” See pages 152 and 153. Note that the object was torn from the bottom portion of the newspaper page, thus placing the date, November 6,1966 of course above it.

(“Something like a toy that is misplaced.” This could imply something lost, and toy could imply a gift or children perhaps. 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. See page 152.

(“Brass. I am not sure here. The connection leads to buttons.” See page 152, for a sketch of the full page from which the object was torn. Five female models wear coats, and many buttons are visible on the coats. The buttons appear to be cloth-covered however, in the photographs.

(A perhaps less likely party reference can be found on page 11 also, again in the lower left-hand corner. See page 152. Here the word Christmas is used in connection with a Christmas job at Macy’s.

(“And a child.” As stated before, children are mentioned in the Ceylon eye bank article in column one on page 11, of the full page from which the item was taken. See page 152. Quote from the article: the ophthalmologist … said the recipients would be… Vietnamese civilians, mostly children, etc.

(1st Question: What’s that gubatorial connection? “I am not sure on this. A magistrate. An election of sorts. Either of these. An authority.” Jane came through with flying colors on this, as I sought more data on her “Gubatorial—vernacular” data interpreted on page 159. See page 152 and 153. It can be seen that election day sales are mentioned in large type on both sides of page 11 and 12 of the New York Times for November 6,1966. The New York State elections were due the next Tuesday, November 8, and included the governorship contest.
