“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A husband and wife who were scheduled to witness the session tonight, notified Jane they would be unable to attend because of business pressures. However, Bill Macdonnel arrived to be a witness.

(Lately, since his return from Cape Cod, Bill has had a few twinges in his lung, a mild return of the trouble dealt with by Seth in some detail in the 56th session, May 25, 1964, page 110. In the 68th session, page 218, July 6, 1964, Seth stated that unless Bill took certain steps the lung trouble would return. And lately, Bill has been looking for a place to live that he could also use as a studio.

(Break at 9:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. She remembered the blocking; she was, she said, afraid she would make a mistake—especially in the beginning of the session. When I said the session was well under way by now, Jane pointed out that her definition of the beginning includes all material given up until and including first break.

(Bill said that he still could not recall the rowboat with the symbol on it at the Provincetown dock, although he readily agreed that he could have seen it and forgotten it. He explained that due to the construction of the wharf one saw just to the left as he looked out the front room in question, that it would be quite difficult to see as small an object as a rowboat tied up there; the wharf is quite high, and due to the slant of the beach a small low object like a rowboat would be hard to see.

I would add–not to this–that of late Ruburt is learning to let his subconscious mind work for him, rather than against him; having to do with the gallery. I am not going to have these sessions deal with mental tricks, even though the end would be a good one. The demonstrations of this sort will always arise spontaneously, and the spontaneous data that so arises will usually be accurate.

(I had been hoping Seth would discuss Bill’s dream. Ever since the first mention of it, I had tried to concentrate upon this question while taking notes. In fact, during this session I experienced many moments when the material Jane delivered directly echoed thoughts of my own.)

Mark may not remember his dream. Ruburt has the sometime habit of recording his dreams, and an interpretation of them at some times would be helpful. And really now: a fond good evening. As always I could go on for hours, and here you are, weary after the long day. I know I should take pity on you. Will I?

I wish you a fond good evening. I would wish you an even fonder good evening, if you used your own energy more efficiently so that I could carry on longer.

I am treated like an enemy, though with a kind face. If my suggestions came from Ruburt’s subconscious mind alone, and they do not, they would be valid for you both.

There is danger of a division of energy. His ego will lap up whatever praise it needs through being an assistant to the director. And this in the long run would not be to his advantage, nor indeed to yours.
