“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Actually we have two refrigerators, and since our kitchen is very small we kept the smaller icebox there and the larger one in the bath. The bath is very large, an ornate and tiled affair that was once the master bath of the house before it was converted into apartments.

(When I picked Jane up after work at the gallery, she told me one of the flashes from Seth was this:)

Ruburt, dear Ruburt, has been besieging me with protests because your kitchen is small. Had I realized that your food center was not in one place I would certainly have made this suggestion earlier. I have no intention of disrupting your household, nor as Ruburt feared was this suggestion merely a trick of his own subconscious. You will not be plagued certainly with furniture-moving ideas of this type.

The fact is that regardless, Ruburt, of the smallness of your kitchen, it simply is not physically sanitary or even psychically healthful to keep food in a bathroom. Naturally the refrigerator should be kept in one place. You just happened to chose the worst possible place.

The sleeping room should always be separate. The food preparation centers should always be separate, and you do have room for those facilities in one place. The bathroom is one of your more fortunate environments. You are extremely well off in this respect and the room should be a place of cleansing and even of rest. You do not understand pollution or growth well enough yet, but food simply should not be allowed in this room. I should think that with your educations you should have known this yourselves, and I am quite honestly embarrassed for having to tell you this.

(Seth’s reference to a tree concerns one I had drawn directly on the kitchen wall, in India ink on the yellow paint. It happened to be one of my best drawings, done very quickly above the spot where we had placed the small refrigerator. One can look into the kitchen from one end of the living room and thus see the tree, and in a subdued light it is very effective. The big refrigerator covers it entirely since it is the only spot in the kitchen where it will fit in at all. Jane used this fact in protesting to Seth about switching the iceboxes.)

Your living spaces should be divided as to function. This avoids entanglement of psychic energies, and I will go into the reasons for this during one of our regular sessions. Now dear pigeons it is a lovely evening, I see. These physical changes will make your life more peaceful and set you both at peace in various ways.
