“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane obviously gave this material from her hospital bed in room 330.)

[...] She seems to think the actual episode of Father Darren chasing her around the bed when she was in that hotel room with him as a teen-ager is changed, whereas I thought Seth meant that the original event remained, but that her psychological understanding of what had transpired changed a good deal. [...]

(Our bed is in the small back room we usually use for sessions. [...] She was still on the bed when Seth came through again. [...]

(Jane, still sitting cross-legged on the bed, smiled and learned forward. Her request caught me by surprise, and it took me a few moments to fish the test envelope out of its hiding place and lay it on the bed before her. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking while sitting cross-legged on the bed. [...]

[...] Now I am definitely back in the bed in which I am sleeping, trying to decipher the writing on the envelopes. [...]

[...] It hadn’t sounded like him—only her, speaking somewhat haltingly and not too clearly as she lay flat on her back in the hospital mud bed, with her broken right arm held snugly against her ribs and chest by the blue and white canvas sling. [...]

[...] “Your left foot is way up off the bed,” I said. [...]

[...] Jane’s left foot rotated quite flexibly even as it rested upon the bed. [...]

(Now I told her that re Seth’s session for me yesterday, I’d tried using his suggestions when I went to bed, and that they worked well, in that I stopped worrying about Jane. [...]

[...] Her left leg came up off the bed and pillow in tune with the head movements. [...]

[...] Get comfortable in a chair or on a bed. [...]

[...] Sit comfortably in a chair or lie on a bed. [...]

[...] When he annoyed you by thrashing about in bed, this was of course what the thrashing about in bed was supposed to do—remind you of his presence there.

(When I approached the room in which I knew Marie lay in bed, crippled by arthritis, I heard Jane and her mother inside. [...] I went in and saw them both in a double bed, fully clothed, arms around each other, forgiving each other. [...]

[...] I became extremely busy after my wife came home, making what seemed like endless calls and trips about getting prescriptions filled, about trying out various kinds of beds and mattresses and chairs and hospital gowns, about insurance, about a commode, about having a speaker phone hooked up to our regular phone so that Jane wouldn’t have to hold the standard bulky handset to her ear. [...] When I began sleeping on the couch in the living room, where it was quieter and darker, we bought a pair of wireless intercoms so that Jane could call me from her bed at any time. [...]

[...] Really angry at this self-deception, I decided to get out of bed entirely, go into the living room, turn the light on and make sure that I really wrote the dreams down this time. (When I got out of bed here, I believe that I was in my dream body, without realizing it.)

[...] Instantly, I opened my eyes to find myself in bed, body and all. [...]

[...] Simply try to get out of bed without moving the body and go into another room.

[...] I knew I was in someone’s house, and that my body was in bed. [...]

[...] Many months ago Seth had suggested putting the head of our bed to the north, without going into much detail as to reasons. [...] In connection with the bed data, Jane has been mentioning for some time now that she has a vague soreness of the ribs on her left side.)

And at the danger of being considered a nag, despite Ruburt’s insistence that the bedroom looks better the way it is, your bed should be moved so that the head is upon the wall that I specified months ago.

[...] The turning around of the bed will alleviate a soreness of his ribs on the left side.

Nor is it any accident that those certain people come to the sessions, the ones who did come, just as it is no accident that Philip's mother is also a bed-ridden arthritic, just as Ruburt’s mother is.

(November 2, Monday, 11:30 AM: Feeling of vibration, body and bed, maybe three minutes duration. [...]

(Later, resting on bed after work with eyes closed, saw a quick but rather violent vision of a round, very bright daylight-type light. [...]

[...] My legs felt as though the bed was bent downward beneath them. [...]

[...] On two nights in bed, definite softening of very important muscles and ligaments from hips down back of legs, under knees; and also stomach muscles right side. [...]

(Lying in bed in a drowsy state last night, Jane received the following items, she believes from Seth. [...]

It was no coincidence, however, that you plunged into reading the New York papers during your stay in bed. [...]

(I spent eight or nine days in bed, the victim of what is generally called a virus. [...]

[...] She began a generalized motion of her whole body, lifting her head and upper torso off the bed and moving them from side to side. [...]

[...] I lay down on the bed to support my body, closed my eyes and used all my will-power to eject myself out. [...]
