“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the 210th session for November 22,1965, Seth stated that he had picked up an “incipient malignancy” in Helen Dyer, who is a friend of our landlady, Marian Spaziani. See Volume 5, page 81. This data was given after the two women had visited us. We have heard nothing more on this, either from Seth or the two women. Last weekend Marian’s husband Jimmy told us that Marian herself must have an operation to remove a tumor on an ovary. Since Seth mentioned the abdominal region in connection with Helen, we wonder about possible distortion on Jane’s part here. The material in the 210th session was focused strongly on Helen however.

A fine tuning of focus takes place here, where Ruburt’s abilities are focused in new directions, directions that are unfamiliar to the ego. A focusing is involved on my part also, and a kind of synthesis formed that allows us to bridge the gap that separates our fields of action.

Now, let us go at our own pace here. These are impressions.

Eight, perhaps eight o’clock, but I am not certain here.

(I thought the second of the two long words Seth had been groping toward might be glutamate, after the common food preservative monosodium glutamate. I thought that once I had read the chemical also had a medical use, but could not recall much here.

Ruburt for his own reasons connects this with the announcement of your niece’s marriage. I mention this for your edification. His connection also here—keep this separately from mine—is of the old house used by the Christian Science church.

A door which is dark, or opens into darkness. Twelve. A river or water connection. Perhaps this is no more than Water Street. I do not know here, so check it.

Give us a moment. Four heads came from the impression of circle shapes. Here interpreted as being connected with four people. Perhaps at a table.

(“A river or water connection. Perhaps this is no more than Water Street. I do not know here, so check it.” There are many connections with the object and our residence of West Water Street, Elmira, NY.

(“Give us a moment. Four heads came from the impression of circle shapes. Here interpreted as being connected with four people. Perhaps at a table.” Seth/Jane gave this data in answer to the first question, and it is more specific in that people as such are mentioned. None of us sat at a table however during the recording, or the evening; the Gallaghers do not have such a table in their living room.

(“Something beats like a motor.” Jane said this use of the word beats reminded her of the hum of the motor on our recorder. We didn’t get enough information here, but she believes it a reference to the recorder motor rather than a reference, say, to our car.

(In the 232nd session for February 9,1966 Seth suggested that a portion of a session a month be devoted to our psychic and physical circumstances. He agreed with my suggestion that we try the first session after the first of each month. We haven’t been this faithful but have decided to make stronger efforts here. There will thus be more deletions in the future. None of this evening’s material is cut. I regard it as illuminating and a good example of the way Seth presents such material. On but two or three occasions in the past we have eliminated personal material from these records. This material is on file and available to anyone studying these sessions.

In the past a virus operated of a peculiar kind. There was a subconscious bargain made, and your dream of the other evening is connected here. Whether or not we have time to discuss it this evening I do not know.

Now there are pills I believe that once taken become activated again within given time periods. This is how your virus acted, and you yourself triggered it. Now there was a connection here with a vaccine, I believe taken by you and Ruburt, that should not have affected you at all.

(Here Seth refers to my fall hay fever. In the unscheduled 182nd session for August 28,1965, Seth said my father gave me his hay fever when I was about three years old. It is true my father lost his hay fever when I was very young.

Now. Whenever you find time, we will hold sessions in which definite diet suggestions are given for you both, for there are allergies that operate here, and you are not taking advantage of the information that I have in this regard.
