“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The impending death also brought forth associations concerning Saratoga, you see. Miss Price was to some extent a substitute mother image indeed, and a rather dangerous one potentially, in any case, because of the confusion in sex identity. (Saratoga Springs, NY, is Jane’s hometown.)

The poetry served as a convenient and suitable substitute for sexual attraction here on Miss Price’s part. On the other hand she viewed Ruburt as the daughter she would never have, while Ruburt viewed her as the mother she wished for.

(There is also some factual connection in the displacement, since by using the pendulum recently we have learned of the rather important role Blanche played in some of Jane’s earlier associations; due to a complicated variety of events Jane has been bothered lately by some physical symptoms we are in the process of eliminating. These symptoms, and Blanche, as well as Jane’s mother and other contributing factors, are also discussed thoroughly in the next session.
