“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley, of Williamsport, PA, who has witnessed several sessions, stopped by this afternoon on his regular rounds, but could not stay for the session this evening. Affairs involving John’s work with Searle, the drug firm, are more or less quiet and uneventful, John reported. Seth has dealt with the machinations below the surface at Searle in various sessions. John now feels also that things are percolating below the surface, and he requested Jane and I find out what we could about the current state of affairs involving Searle, from Seth tonight.

Ruburt did anticipate with some correctness part of this evening’s subject matter, having to do with apparent deterioration of the quality of matter itself, that composes the physical body. Since you know now that all physical matter is constantly coming into formation, that it is formed by atoms and molecules so instantaneously, and that these atoms and molecules that give form to matter continually appear and disappear, so swiftly that the physical form that they compose appears permanent, then you must realize that there is no reason why physical forms should deteriorate as far as the atoms and molecules that compose them are concerned.

We will begin by examining the cause behind the breaking up of necessary physical patterns so that survival within the world of matter is no longer possible. Now. Existence within the physical field depends upon a focus of psychic energy, in the subconscious construction of that physical organism without which material survival is not possible.

Now. A more complicated, involved, intricate physical organization, such as man, necessitates on the part of the whole self a tremendous outlay of energy for maintenance of the psychic-(hyphen) physical structural relationship.

You should know by now that my homey little suggestions have worked out, rather amazingly to your view, for your benefit.

Now briefly before I close, and again on a personal note: the condition of Ruburt’s wrist will take care of itself and vanish. He should faithfully continue the back exercises, which he usually resumes and then forgets. The turning around of the bed will alleviate a soreness of his ribs on the left side.

The permanent setup, whenever and if ever arranged, will here be most beneficial, and in ways that I will not now, because of the time, discuss. There is a connection with mental enclosures though it is a subconscious and psychological one.

Now, my most fond best wishes, and my congratulations to Ruburt, the old firekeeper, in connection with the furnace. He stokes his own flames fairly well also.

(End at 11:11. Jane was dissociated as usual. Many months ago Seth had suggested putting the head of our bed to the north, without going into much detail as to reasons. He referred above to a question and answer session because I had mentioned the idea to Jane earlier in the day. We plan to work up a list of questions. The furnace reference concerns Jane’s manual operation today of the usually automatic gas heating plant in the house, after the thermostat developed some as yet undiagnosed trouble. In connection with the bed data, Jane has been mentioning for some time now that she has a vague soreness of the ribs on her left side.)

(October 21, Wednesday: A small incident. In the morning I thought strongly of Venetian blinds, that I would like some on the kitchen windows. I visualized them, although we have none to fit and cannot afford to buy them now. This was a spontaneous, vivid wish on my part.
