“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane did not feel at all well before this evening’s session, and I was not at my best either. I suggested to Jane that she pass up the session but she wanted to have one if possible. We were both curious to see what Seth would say about basic causes, and as it developed we had some fairly good insights. We seem to have had good results recently, in applying the material to our daily lives. This application has been after the event in many instances, of course, and we hope to continue to improve in using it in a practical way to forestall various problems.

Disturbing the image in two ways at once is indeed difficult and I would suggest, as I believe you suggested Joseph, that the smoking problem be tackled. Let us not try to change our image overnight in too many ways at once. These matters also helped add to Ruburt’s tension. It grabbed him rather viciously today.

I would suggest that Jane do what I presume is womanly, and to a woman logical under the circumstances. Purchase her preparation by all means, for here we have a clever attempt at trickery. To take focus away from the smoking problem, our Ruburt suddenly decides to go “a la naturel” as far as hair is concerned.

(Before the session Jane had been reading a book on abnormal psychology. I noticed this and suggested she not read it, having in mind my recent experience with illness and my poring over the daily New York City newspapers. See the 143rd session.)

Perhaps you might rub his back before retiring. He should feel well in the morning. I would like here to mention once more my suggestions concerning outings. The two of you should, when financially feasible, go out for an evening of enjoyment once a week. The important point here being that you are outside of your apartment, and also that you are with other people. This suggestion is beneficial for you both.
