“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today I called Babs from the hospital and verified the new appointment. This experience follows, of course, the one I had for my last appointment, and which is on record — when I chipped a tooth and went to my dentist’s office the same day to see if he could fix it — and discovered that I had an appointment I’d forgotten about for that very same time on that same day. When I walked in Babs thought I was keeping that appointment …

(I also told Jane that in a batch of fan mail that had been temporarily lost, I found a note from my dentist’s secretary and nurse, Babs, changing the date of my appointment from Feb. 13 to the 23rd. I’d sat alone in the office yesterday, the date of my original appointment, with no one ever showing up. I wrote the dentist a note and left it on his desk.

(I do have a thing going with dentists. I told Jane that if she’d had her regular session yesterday in 330, so that I was busy typing it last night, I wouldn’t have found Babs’s note, because I wouldn’t have had the extra time after supper to go through fan mail, clean out the paper bag I carry to the hospital each day, and so on. So, why did she not have a session yesterday, the day of my dental appointment? It’s the first one Jane has missed in weeks, literally.

(Jane was sure “death of a dog” referred to the last dental appointment she had had previous to May 5,1965. This would be 3 years ago; Jane said she recalled this vividly because our dog, Mischa, died within two days or so of that long-ago appointment. The appointment itself had also been a painful one.

(For the envelope test object I used the appointment card for Jane’s visit to the dentist last May 5,1965. This is the appointment that Jane kept while in a trance state, and thus had her teeth cleaned without discomfort. [...]

(See the tracing of the dental appointment card on page 1, and my notes about the card on page 2. The card refers to the appointment that Jane kept while in a trance state, to have her teeth cleaned. [...]

(Jane particularly remembered the appointment because it is the first she ever made voluntarily. [...] We thought “The number 5” good, since the appointment was for May 5.

[...] Wanda made sure you could have an appointment if you wanted it. This was arranged through ways impossible to tally, all taking place in Framework 2, with the juggling of appointments days earlier, involving appointments made and not made.

(Driving home, I had misgivings about my actions in making the appointment without consulting Jane, but told myself I trusted my impulse and the working of Framework 2. I also felt that Jane would never see a doctor on her own. [...] Jane, however, reacted strongly when I told her about the appointment. [...]

[...] Since I’d been thinking of Wanda rather strongly last week, wondering whether the doctor in question could help Jane and her eye condition, I took our meeting as a clear case of the workings of Framework 2. On impulse I asked Wanda if she could arrange an appointment for Jane, and was surprised to hear that it could be set up for next Monday. [...]

[...] Better that this be set up, it seemed immediately, so that Frank was met with the accomplished fact of a set appointment.

(For the envelope test tonight I used my appointment card for my visit to the dentist earlier this month. [...] I also used Jane’s appointment card of May 5,1965 as the test object for the 15th envelope test in the 199th session. [...]

[...] My dental appointment as shown on the test object was for 2:30 PM.

That did indeed refer to Pine City, and connected, you see, the office incident of your appointment with the car incident, which occurred in the vicinity of Pine City.

The note referred to the appointment card. [...]

[...] So today I shall call up and make an appointment immediately as a teacher and I shall pretend with all my might that I am an excellent teacher. [...] And so I shall call up and make this appointment. [...] And I shall call up and make an appointment as an artist—but I shall be free in whatever I do—and spontaneous. [...]

[...] You can meet appointments and meet with people about work. [...]

([Brad:] “I am going to call up tomorrow and make the appointment.”)

[...] The important thing is to take a step, and your appointment is a step, and you must take it. [...]

(Last Monday afternoon Dr. Kardon’s nurse called to give us an appointment at St. Joseph’s emergency room at 2:45 PM Friday, to see Dr. Sobel from Ithaca. [...] [As I type this Wednesday morning, the finger looks even better.] We talked about using Dr. K’s visit tomorrow, and the improvement in the finger, as excuses to “squirm out of” Friday’s appointment with Dr. Sobel. [...]

[...] His dental appointment today in a way amounted to the same thing. He wanted brilliant teeth (humorously) for the visit of your Aerofranz (Tam Mossman), and he gave a quick but direct message when he made the phone call, that an appointment would be available before your friend arrived.

(Tam arrives this weekend, May 2. Jane’s original dental appointment was for later in May. [...]

[...] No matter what she says, there will be an appointment for me this week.”

[...] (Pause.) I need not be entirely focused within your dimension in other words, but I am focused sufficiently to meet our appointments.

A certain portion of my reality is therefore available to you during our appointed times, and the bridgework of which we have spoken is always available; and using it Ruburt can call upon me on other occasions.

[...] When you wish to contact me at other than appointed times, I may or may not be easily (underlined) available. [...]

[...] I can be here in your terms at appointed times, for the medium is also more than the message.

[...] You have, indeed, appointments with the universe but your first appointment is with yourself and when you have the courage to meet that appointment then begin thinking of the universe for then you will realize that you and the universe are, to a large extent, one but not while you hedge. [...]

(To Joel) Afterward I would like you to keep some appointment with the universe, quiet and private, not in psy-time necessarily, but alone for your own benefit. [...]

(Last Friday at 2:45 PM I took Jane to the emergency room at St. Joseph’s to keep the appointment with Dr. Sobel from Ithaca, as set up by Dr. Kardon. [...]

(I also knew she hadn’t wanted to keep the appointment, and that she blamed me at least partly for her keeping it. [...]

[...] Ruburt felt strongly against keeping the appointment. [...]

(My dentist wasn’t there even though I had an appointment for today that had been given me three or four months ago. [...]

(After spending several rather uncomfortable days, I gave in over the weekend and decided to call for an appointment this morning. [...]

[...] I should add that as I was backing the car out of the driveway to keep the appointment, Leonard Yaudes pulled in, for the first

(Jane and I left F. Fell’s office, where the 360th session had been held, at about 11:45 AM, with an appointment to meet Mr. Van Over at about noon. He had a very few minutes for us before leaving his own office to keep an appointment. [...]

[...] On phone a man makes appointment to take me to dinner to discuss giving me an excellent position but I can’t hear him properly and got to another office to check time, etc. [...]

The appointment made but not kept refers to the fact that you all said you would get together again in the near future, and you did not.

Something about a margin of safety, perhaps concerning health, and a recent doctor’s appointment. [...]

[...] A connection with an appointment made but not kept, or not kept yet.

(“A connection with an appointment made but not kept, or not kept yet.” [...]

The appointment made but not kept refers to the fact that you all said you would get together again in the near future, and you did not.

[...] You were thinking both consciously and below consciousness about Ruburt’s appointment at the dentist. [...]

[...] You might begin by making an appointment to meet each other, say at three in the morning in the living room.

[...] A scrambled afternoon: two appointments not kept, one later kept, a caucus… caucus?

([John:] “What about the two appointments?”)

There is a Wednesday appointment for our friend here shortly, that either can hold pitfalls or will turn out to be surprising.

[...] John Bradley said he had no Wednesday appointments scheduled for the coming week, but would keep Seth’s statement in mind.

[...] I always want to make an appearance, however, at our appointed time, as this much at least is necessary so that you both know that despite unfortunate circumstances contact between us is being maintained.
