“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Break at 9:26. Jane was dissociated as usual. During break we discussed the situation at the gallery where she works part time. With the departure of Dee Masters as director, a new director is trying out for the job; the situation is thus unsettled, and Jane is not in favor of some of her new duties and is thinking seriously of leaving the job. This situation has also interfered with our consideration of house-buying.

(It will be remembered that Seth stated an art gallery experience was in the cards for Jane many sessions ago—back somewhere in the beginning sessions. At the time Seth also said that had we settled in Miami, Florida, as we considered doing a few years ago, Jane would have worked in a gallery there. He gave some street locations with this information, but we did not try to check it out.)

This, plus the new director’s implied sense of superiority, adds to the difficulty. He works best on a job when he is more or less left alone, in charge of given functions to perform, as when he acted as salesman. Although I am not suggesting a return to this for various reasons.

(The board appeared to be dead, so I noted down that the session ended at 11:15. Jane and I were in the mood to continue, so we thought we’d try a few stratagems to get the board working again. First I sat at the board alone to see if I could get anything. In the past this had never worked for me, the pointer not even moving over the letters.

(Jane then tried the board alone; on it she had raised Thomas Voghler by herself, last week. Tonight it would not work at all for her. As a last resort we once again tried the board together; and almost immediately it began to respond. Resume at 11:48.)

(Thurs. 7/2, 8:15 PM: I experienced a mild thrilling sensation in my lower legs just before I lay down, but achieved nothing after I had reached the desired and secondary state. I induced the desired state from the head downward this time, and it seemed to work much quicker.
