“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It will be remembered that in the 87th session of September 14, 1964, Seth began an interpretation of Jane’s dream of September 7. The ramifications from this dream are still spreading. Seth again dealt with this dream in the 93rd session, of September 30. In it he said that although he was not sure, he thought Jane’s schoolgirl friend, Marie Tubbs, now living in Florida, may have been in childbirth at the time of Jane’s dream, with a possibility that the water bag had broken during birth. The unifying symbol of the dream had been a tub, and water.

(After this session Jane wrote to Marie in an effort to verify the above statement. The two women have not seen each other for some years, but maintain a desultory correspondence. In her reply, dated October 11, Marie told Jane that she has not been involved in childbirth for two years. She did say that in July she had been on a cruise to Bermuda, in which she, her husband and friends had been on or near the water for about ten days. And at the time of Jane’s dream, Marie said, hurricane Cleo had been descending upon them at Boynton Beach, and “we had plenty of water around then during the storm. It went right through here.”

(Earlier today, feeling somewhat tense, Jane had visited a chiropractor for treatment. While talking with him she mentioned a hard lump that had appeared recently on the inside of her left wrist. It bothered her but little; the doctor stated that it could be an arthritic nodule; seeing that this upset her greatly, he reassured her by saying that it was more likely to be the result of an injury. Not remembering any injurious incidents, Jane came home quite upset.

(Break at 9:29. Jane was dissociated as usual, but more toward the middle and end of the delivery than in the beginning. Seth had not yet mentioned the nodule on her wrist, and we agreed that he was probably waiting until she attained a deeper state before he dealt with personal material of this sort.

(Jane resumed delivery in the same rather quiet voice, again with quite a few pauses, and again without her glasses, at 9:37.)

(Break at 10:12. Jane was dissociated as usual, and also quite relieved at Seth’s explanation. She had begun using her old typewriter for first drafts of her writings since leaving the gallery a few weeks ago, with the idea that since we do all the Seth material work on this machine, which is the best of the three we own, some wear and tear might be saved on it.

(Jane said she was “really out” while Seth gave the material on her wrist. She resumed in the same quiet manner at 10:21.)

(Seth-Jane had caught me yawning.)

(End at 10:58. Jane was dissociated as usual. My writing hand was also tired. After the session was over, I realized that I had neglected to ask Seth to specifically clear up Jane’s use of the phrase concerning her friend Marie as being involved in childbirth. I will make a point to inquire about this in the next session.)
