“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, my dear young man. You may indeed sit there and observe me. But I also sit here and observe you, whether or not Ruburt’s eyes are opened or closed.

(Pause.) Do not ask any questions here. These are merely loose impressions. A bad stumble. Difficulty with a third vertebra (pause), leading to unequal nerve pressures. The condition originating in one incident some time ago, and further aggravated by a second incident in more recent times. (Pause.)

Two particular yoga exercises will be of benefit here. They must be done very slowly however. Only one of them a day to begin with for a two-week period, and then the two of them may be done each day. The one where the individual lies frontward down on the floor, and lifts up from the arms, Joseph, you know this one.

The other, the sitting forward stretch. (Pause.) Give us time here. (Long pause.) The condition leads at times to a bunching of muscles in the side of the neck in precisely this area (Jane touched the right side of her neck) that can occasionally appear almost as a hardish lump. Simply knotted muscles caused by strain. The same exercises will help here. (Pause, head down.)

There is an overemphasis here on the one hand, and a lack on the other. (Pause.) There is not sufficient fat of the kind that the body derives through carbohydrates, that are sustaining. What is needed is a balanced diet, a normally balanced diet. If weight loss is desired then less should be eaten. No whole body of foods such as carbohydrates should be drastically reduced. This puts the body chemistry in an unbalanced condition.

Had your abilities been developed sufficiently, you could have seen through these probable futures into the actual physical future event that would come to pass. Now there is no great loss here, and take me seriously. Both you and Stephen shall have gained, and better now than later: for you cannot live your physical life in such a fashion. The development of your character and of Stephen’s would be drastically reduced.

(Pause.) Now, by itself, ostriches. A connection here. A particular chest that has been in the family for some generations, or that is highly treasured. Among other things containing ribboned letters from a foreign land. (Pause.) It may be a handwrought chest.

Now give us time. (Pause.) It is connected to a woman. Approximately five foot five, though somewhat shortened now, as with age. Simply the word Osburn connected here. (My phonetic interpretation.) Perhaps letters from an Osburn at one time. This in the past, with the Osburn connection.

The hair at one time a rather odd gray—a strange darkish gray. I believe a mole here (Jane touched her right cheek); though it may not be a mole but some facial characteristic here, you see. (Touch again.) A voice with a clicking sound. I believe these impressions referring to the grandmother.

Some strange connection with him and geese. I do not know here. Perhaps he had a pet goose. I would not want a pet goose. We are speaking of the woman’s husband, or father here. We shall try to clear it as we progress. I do not know if this is our young friend’s grandfather, or the grandfather’s father, you see.

There is a storm in the past, a physical storm, in which this man loses some animals. There is a connection with barns here.

There is some resentment here, a smoldering one. She would have preferred to have been born a male. This is her first existence as a woman. An episode occurring when she was approximately in a sixth grade (pause) added to an already existing sense of insecurity. (Pause.) There are also other-life connections that enter in here. The family also uses the mother as a way of testing its own strength and unity, and as a method of channeling aggression. Often she picks up the aggression of the family, and then reacts for you all. You can then blame her without facing the fact of the underlying aggression.
