“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There was some distortion in your picture. The tumble will not occur if no rugs are used. For safety’s sake I would suggest an eight-month period. No severe (underlined) difficulty would result in any case, but an ugly bruise (pause), I believe by the right ear, and some twisting of a foot.

(Recently our friend in Boston, Pat Norelli, had visited a female medium who told her that she was under the influence of an evil eye, and would never have a happy day as long as she lived. This alarmed Pat so that she phoned Jane long distance, asking for some information from Seth.)

([Pete:] “My mind’s a blank… My sister was thinking of a possible trip to Australia for Christmas.”)

(“Oh.” To my knowledge, this is the first time in all the sessions that Seth has given such an answer. My question was not meant to pry into a personal life, merely to obtain what I thought would be interesting information about a certain dream related to me by Dr. Colucci’s nurse, voluntarily.)

(I read from Pete’s list of questions: “Could you tell me something about the time I had the feeling of Ferd entering my body while I was lying on my side in bed?”)

You are becoming aware of higher levels of your own personality and you are trying to interpret them. The sensation was your own reaction to the psychological presence of your friend Ferd. He did not cause the sensations. But in another way he was their cause, since you interpreted his existence in that particular manner. Because of your own personality makeup you will lean to physical interpretations, and physical sensations in an attempt to understand nonphysical impressions.

([Pete:] “Well Seth, I was extremely bothered by my brother’s reaction to what you said about the August 20th five and ten race—you told Steve not to bet on it. Any chance of this still working out, at all?”

(It is August 21 as I type these notes. As far as we can remember, no dinner for five worked out re the Boston trip. A package did arrive for Pat Norelli, containing her new glasses, however. Pat was most anxious to get these, and found them waiting at her Boston apartment upon our arrival there. Her first question of her roommate, after showing Jane and me our room, concerned the arrival of the glasses. The data are very general however.)

(“Oh.” Seth meant Venice McCullough, I realized. At first I had thought he referred to Dr. Colucci’s dental nurse. Venice’s dream, a recurring one, was related to her efforts to reduce, and had troubled her a good deal, she told us before the last session.)
