“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 867, JULY 23, 1979
9:28 P.M. MONDAY

(The evening was very humid but cool after a late-afternoon thunderstorm. Jane felt the humidity as we sat for the session at 9:15. She had no questions for Seth, but expected him to continue his material of last Wednesday night, when he’d started an answer to my question about the relationship between the host organism and disease. This idea had come to her “pretty strongly” after supper: “It won’t be dictation. I think there’s a whole lot there — but you know, it’s not quite here yet,” she said.

(Neighbors stopped in at 8:45, however, and Jane explained afterward that because of the visit, brief as it was, the material had “retreated away” from her internal perception somewhat. “So I’m just waiting for it to come forward again,” she said. When it did, Seth followed the nonbook portion of the last session so well that we want to include it in Mass Events. Finally:)

(Pause.) End of session — but I will continue with the material. I bid you a fond good evening, and we have opened up a fine kettle of metaphysical fish.

(10:42 P.M. I’ve indicated but a few of the many long pauses Jane took while speaking for Seth; in fact, the session had been her slowest one in many months. “Now I see why I felt so puzzled before the session,” she said, “even with the company. I just had to sit there and wait for things to be put together in a new way. It was really funny.”

(See the brief references to the therapy of value fulfillment in the opening notes for Session 862, with its Note 1. Today I’d mentioned to Jane how I remembered Seth’s saying — perhaps a couple of years ago — that still untouched in his material is the whole question of the body consciousness, and its role in health and many other fields. Seth had indicated that he had available a vast amount of material on the body consciousness, and that he could give it to us at any time. I’ve been curious about the subject ever since.
