“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Our cat, Willy, had jumped up into Jane’s lap. As cats will, he began to knead her legs with his forefeet. Jane’s eyes did not open up but her delivery became spasmodic. As I got up she lifted Willy herself and dropped him to the floor.

(This is the first time in many sessions that Willy has paid any attention to Jane during a session. In the early sessions he exhibited some drastic behavior at Seth’s presence and/or arrival. At times he would attempt to entangle himself in Jane’s legs as she paced about the room while speaking for Seth. At other times he seemed to exhibit plain panic, running to hide just before session time. Seth told us this was because the cat’s very acute senses detected his arrival on our plane. Willy, he said, would get used to his presence eventually and show no reaction; this has been the case now for well over a year.)

(Jane said she was aware of Willy climbing up into her lap, and that the cat’s presence might have interfered with her delivery had he remained there.

The spontaneity that allowed him to deviate from his usual schedule is largely responsible for the whole book, for his original intention was merely to write a few humorous verses for out cat lover’s birthday. I will have a little more to say concerning this, perhaps, at our next session.
