“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.

(Peggy Gallagher has been bothered in recent weeks by what she calls bursitis in her left shoulder. In the last few days the discomfort has moved down into her left arm; periodically she said the arm tingles, in a sensation similar to that felt when a limb has gone to sleep. The feeling is not that drastic though. Seth, without being asked, told Peggy that she had a disturbance in the area of the third to fifth vertebrae, and that this, basically, was the cause of her back and arm disturbances. Peggy had thought circulation was at the seat of the trouble. Seth said the circulation was healthy, but interfered with somewhat by tension.

(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 took a break at 12:15 AM, during which the Gallaghers left. He resumed at about 12:30, until interrupted at 12:45. The interruption marked the end of the session.

(Seth was going into the relationship between predictions and probabilities when the session came to an end because of the mentioned interruption. As stated, two sets of witnesses had been present. A fifth person had also appeared, causing the end of the session after one set of witnesses had left. See page 326.
