“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth had some interesting things to say about using suggestion. The kernel of thought here is that it is important to use whatever suggestions we want to, daily; he stressed the importance of not missing a day. He explained that in a given period of say, thirty days, the suggestions on perhaps but three or four days within that period would be really effective, and that as of now we have no way of knowing the best days. So if we miss a day, we run a chance of missing out on a particularly effective day for suggestion. Seth said that on occasion suggestion will reach all levels of the personality, that our voice will be heard throughout the personality, and that effective action will follow. There was more here but the above is the main point made.

(Two additional notes to add to the above account: Seth told me we might have witnesses to the session scheduled for Wednesday, March 2, but he did not say how many and I did not ask. He also said Jane should use suggestion to teach herself to sleep without a pillow. This would benefit her as an individual greatly, he said, and promised to go into the reasons later. When I remarked that I often woke up to notice that Jane was sleeping without a pillow, having pushed it aside in her sleep, Seth said this was an indication that her subconscious knew what it was doing. I sleep with a heavier pillow than Jane uses, and sometimes use two; Seth said my reasons were different than Jane’s and that in this case the pillows were not a hindrance.

(Seth used Jane’s pillow data to go on to explain that she had a habit of sleeping with her hands tensed, or sometimes clenched, and that this allowed tension to move up her arms, across her shoulders and into the upper back and neck. Sometimes upon arising Jane will notice a stiffness in her upper back and neck, which wears away as she becomes active. Suggestion re the hands would help, according to Seth.

Now I suggest a brief break.

(I have had several other suggestive experiences recently, and keep a list of these in my dream notebook. One involved voices; another and more striking one involved my naming the exact item of clothing Jane purchased for me, unknown to me while I was at my job.

A connection with cold. I am not sure to what this refers. Perhaps somehow the sounds of his name suggest ice, or the letters. We shall see.

Somehow cluttered, or full, and empty toward the outsides. Dark and shadowy in the center, with suggestions of motion, and late afternoon.

(“with suggestions of motion”, again refers to my drawing rather than the actual envelope object; the motion, Jane said, of my pencil smudges across the back of the drawing, and to the slant of the words This Week’s above the key and star.

(“and late afternoon.” Jane said this is another impression taken from the smudges on the back of my drawing. Note that this pencil smudging on the back of the tracing affected Jane probably more than anything else. This late afternoon impression stemmed from the feeling of dusk or evening falling, as suggested by the dark smudges. Jane was quite aware of this feeling subjectively.
