“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now this development helps me, for I need his development in order that my communications be more clearly presented and received. Basically however all of this takes place in deeply unconscious layers. Abilities and energies are released. These cannot be willed however, on a conscious level.

Changes that may allow you to insist upon bettering your own position there. Now do not rush me.

Do you have an envelope for me?

(Jane paused at 10:14. Without opening her eyes she took the envelope for the 42nd experiment from me. She pressed the envelope to her forehead briefly, then lowered it to her lap.)

(Seth now prodded me into asking the third question, so I asked for elaboration on the motor data given early in the experiment.

(Cards given to Jane and me at the time show that we received Type I Sabin oral polio vaccine in October 1962, and Type II in November 1962. The card for Type II contained a notice to the effect that information about Type III would be available in the spring of 1963, but if memory serves correctly Type III never was available for public free distribution in this area. In any event Jane and I never did receive Type III.)

(Strange as it may seem—or perhaps not so strangely after all—I remember my mother giving me this negative suggestion quite clearly. There had been a good deal of radio and newspaper publicity concerning the oral vaccines at that time. When we happened to mention to my parents that we had taken it, my mother was rather emphatic in emphasizing the dangers in taking “such things; you might get polio,” etc.

(As stated I fell ill with the virus in March 1965. I was also troubled by a virus in 1964, sometime between January and March; I was not in the habit of noting such things in the sessions then, so have no accurate record. I remember that I was sick three times that winter, each time to a lesser degree. The first two episodes cost me work time of several days each. I do not remember having any thoughts, at any time, connecting my illnesses to the polio vaccines.)

(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.

(Seth has discussed hay fever a few times; with these bits and pieces of information, plus knowledge of and use of suggestion, I managed to maintain myself in fairly good condition during last fall’s season; for me this is from mid-August to about the third week in September. I have already begun telling myself I will feel very good this fall.
