“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Two sets of witnesses did attend tonight’s unplanned session, the Gallaghers and Marilyn and Don Wilbur. Jane began speaking as Seth at 11:45 PM, continued until about 12:15 AM, took a break during which the Gallaghers left, then resumed briefly, from about 12:30 to 12:45 AM with the Wilburs present. The session might have continued but was interrupted by the visit of a friend who does not know of them. We do not often get visitors after midnight; this friend has visited us perhaps three times in the last year, so we can say his arrival was unexpected.

(It can be said that since the Gallaghers and the Wilburs both know of the sessions, and that they visit us regularly, an unscheduled session is hardly unusual with these two sets of witnesses. It can also be said however that we do not easily hold unscheduled sessions, although from the record it might seem they are held rather often. Jane and I usually go out of our way to avoid them because of the extra work involved, etc. Hence the late starting hour for this one.

(Seth proceeded to suggest several things Peggy might do; if she followed the suggestions the trouble should disappear. She should give herself suggestions before sleep that she not sleep on her left side, but her right side instead. This would remove the pressure on the afflicted side of the body. Peggy said she didn’t think she slept on her left side; Seth said she did after going to sleep, and that suggestion would prevent this. Seth told Peggy not to lean on her left elbow during the day, especially at work. Even as he spoke, we saw Peggy leaning on her left elbow. Peggy said she may have the habit of leaning on her desk at the newspaper office with her left arm or elbow; she will check.

(Seth told Peggy to stand up and stretch her arms over her head frequently during the day. He told her to use suggestion that her circulation in the afflicted areas be more than adequate until the condition subsided; she should do this frequently during the day. He went into some detail here, explaining that the tension caused a slowing of the blood flow in the shoulder and arm making the blood’s normally easy flow much more difficult. He told Peggy there was nothing wrong with her circulation.

(We now come to a surprising development. Seth proceeded to tell Peggy that she was doing her yogic neck rolls much too fast in the morning. This is an exercise, Peggy told us at break, that she does each morning. Like Jane, she works out with yoga each day, but rushes the exercises in the morning while dressing for work. Jane did not know this, and Peggy said she had never mentioned it. Seth was right here, according to Peggy, for lately she felt she had been hurrying the exercises too much. Seth told Peggy the rapid neck rolls, which are an exercise supposed to be done slowly, were actually being detrimental to her. In addition, Peggy should be careful at the end of this exercise, when she drops her head forward, supposedly in a relaxed manner. Seth said the sudden dropping put a strain on the third to fifth vertebrae. Peggy agreed that she ended the exercise in this manner; and again, she had not thought to mention this to Jane previously.

(Don Wilbur’s parents are against his changing jobs. The Wilburs did not ask Seth for advice, nor did Jane and I. Seth volunteered that it was better for Don to make his own decisions. He did say that Don would leave his present job because it offered no opportunities for advancement, and that he would try three other positions before he settled into one he really liked. But Seth did not say when. Don himself has not decided what to do. The place he visited that matched Seth’s description has made him an offer of employment.
