“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The envelope object was folded once. It bore typing and writing on one side only. Perhaps the folding, giving the impression of a layer of markings on more than one side, was confusing to Seth. He has sorted out such impressions before however. To me at least the border on Father Ryan’s photo is more of a border than the implied border on the object itself.

(“It is not empty on either side. Rectangular with a border.” Here I asked Seth to try naming the object. I believe the answer refers to the photo of the deceased Father Ryan. See the notes following “A border…” on page 157.

A border. Perhaps in black. Some lines of printed or written material. An M, and a connection with flowers. Movement and weight.

(It will be remembered that in connection with the test photograph used in the 180th session, Seth/Jane stated: “...and a border. I think now of a border of flowers...” The test photograph has a white border. Seth now informed me that in the 180th session Jane distorted the information about the border of the photo into a border of flowers because of her personal childhood associations. He said Jane has an early memory of a border of flowers around a garden.

(After tonight’s session Jane said she vaguely remembers a small plot of grass and vegetables, bordered by flowers, maintained by her grandfather in the backyard of her home in Saratoga Springs, NY. [...] She had not made any conscious connection with this memory and the border data given in connection with the second test, however, until Seth mentioned it tonight.)

The numbers 4, 6, perhaps of an age or date, and a border. I think now of a border of flowers, and of the two people, a man and a woman, and J. B. I think also of hills.

[...] I mentioned the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, on Iran’s eastern border, and how the coldly secular Russian philosophy clashed with the Iranians’ fanatical Moslemic orientation. [...] One of the complications I didn’t mention is Iran’s deepening confrontation with Iraq, another Moslem nation on Iran’s western border. Currently the two are arguing over territorial rights concerning a waterway between them that flows into the Persian Gulf; Iran and Iraq have exchanged border clashes for several months now, and each country has threatened heavier military action against the other.

In just that one area on our globe, then, a group of consciousnesses has chosen to “evolve” into a number of religious and secular forces that are both internal and external as far as national borders go. [...]

(“with an indentation that could suggest a border.” The object has a border, as can be seen in the tracing. In actuality the border is indented, or debossed, into the porous paper or cardboard material of the coaster, to the extent that it can be easily felt with the ball of the finger. [...]

[...] A rectangular shape, with an indentation that could suggest a border. [...]

[...] The numeral 1 appears in the code number, in small type, next to the bottom border.

(“A border.” Page one of the object contains a blind embossed border. This shows as a pen line on the copy on page 236; actually the border has no color in it. Perhaps, also, the box at the bottom of page 3 of the object could be called a border.

(“A border.” The envelope object contains a definite border. [...]

[...] A border. [...]

(I am also of the opinion that the three pieces of data just preceding this: A border; blacks that speak loudly; and vivid verticals; might be said to apply to the artwork as much as to the envelope object itself. [...]

White paper with small implied border. [...]

(“White paper with small implied border. [...]

[...] But in giving the above data, Jane had the image of a rectangular form and block of matter with neat borders.

[...] (Pause.) A border. [...]

[...] “A border” regarding the test object does not ring a bell, but “Horizontal lines that are similar to each other,” are the postmark cancellation lines. [...]

I seem to pick up a connection with Christmas or Christmas tree, though I believe this is indirectly connected rather than directly; and something dark of rectangular shape, and also again of a border (pause) and something shady, and a sky symbol.

(The label has a dark green border. [...]
