“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Several times this morning while we were working Jane mentioned that she was receiving flashes from Seth about a particular subject—the refrigerator in our bathroom. Seth had, she said, just realized this situation and was quite upset.

(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:)

(She was also concerned because she thought her subconscious might be playing tricks on her, using the Seth approach to problems she or we should solve on our own. She did not want to acquire this habit. We had just finished supper when Jane motioned for me to get pen and paper. Throughout the brief session her voice was normal and her pace slow. Her eyes darkened as usual.)

The seemingly unfortunate suggestion that I made to Ruburt was made for your own benefit, not mine. This short session would not even be necessary except that I was not sure if you would consider the suggestion as legitimate if I did not give it in a normal manner, or should I say a formal manner.

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.

I found you in certain physical circumstances, some of which were psychically unfavorable, but before a mutual trust was developed I could hardly make any such suggestions. That is why they came all at once so to speak. And they will not keep coming

My mention of the tree in the kitchen was made because I happen to enjoy seeing it when Ruburt makes his twice-weekly journeys up and down the living room floor. A tree is a living symbol to you Joseph, but I certainly do not insist that the tree be left uncovered though personally I see no reason why any other changes have to be made in the kitchen, except for the addition of the refrigerator. I blush to think of your fine professors reading this, and for your sakes I suggest that it not be sent out with official material.

I made the suggestion impromptu simply because I was suddenly aware of the condition that needed a remedy. These changes in your physical situation, believe it or not, will save you both some psychic difficulties and even physical ills. Otherwise I would have made no suggestions.

(Seth’s observation that it was a lovely evening stemmed from the fact that night had not yet fallen. Usually our sessions take place when it is quite dark out.)
