“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 228

(No envelope test was held during the session.

(Watching the blizzard that hit Elmira this weekend in action, I thought it like a disembodied psychic storm. Jane agreed; as session time drew near tonight she said she thought Seth would discuss the storm, and our weather in general. Seth has had something to say about the weather in these sessions: 56, 84, 123 and 175, without going into any great detail. Check Volumes 2, 3, and 4.

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed.)

(There came a knock on our door. It was a young neighbor from downstairs, concerned about transportation to work tomorrow. We work together at Artistic Card Co. but had not tried to get to the plant today. She does not know of these sessions.

(For a time we held sessions in the back of our apartment to avoid such interruptions, but Jane prefers them held in the large front room. The interruption tonight was not any kind of a shock to Jane; she left the trance state easily, although I noticed her eyes were very dark when they first opened. It was Jane who answered the door however. We then engaged in a half-hour’s conversation with our neighbor.

(Seth began talking about dreams by the 15th session, then began to give material on their chemical excesses soon after. See Volume 1.)

There is much to be said concerning the interrelationships that exist between the human system and the weather system, and these shall be, these interrelationships, shall be discussed most completely at a later time. I do not want to interrupt our data concerning probabilities and time, however, to get involved in any long involvements on other matters. The question was in your minds however, and so we have taken a short while to give you some brief notes concerning it. At our next session we shall return to our previous subject matter.

I will now, according to your pleasure, continue the session for a while, or end it.

Now, my friend, I am quite capable and agreeable. I will continue the session, or you may end it and instead take a break. It is up to you. I should suggest however a good night’s sleep, and I should suggest specifically that you give yourself the same sort of suggestion that Ruburt gave to himself before retiring.

My heartiest good wishes to you both, and unless you particularly wish me to continue I will end the session.

(See page 241 of the last session, the 227th, for the data on the time schedule by which Jane produced the book of poetry. It will be noted that on the four days, January 21, 24, 25, 26, Jane wrote 52 poems in the course of from 16-18 1/2 hours.

(A recount since last session reveals that the total number of poems should be revised upward, to 63, produced in the same amount of time. In giving me the first set of figures Jane counted the pages in the book of poetry, forgetting that there were two poems on some pages.

(As early as the 6th session Seth told Jane and me that we were living the last of our physical lives, and that both of us had chosen to become entities. Because of this, Seth said, it is very necessary that we develop all of our abilities as much as possible in this life. See Volume 1.)
