“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You stopped worrying about your car, and focusing upon it and upon its age and condition. (Pause.) The trouble was caused mentally, and the condition corrected mentally when you released the mechanism from a negative attention.

(Here Seth refers to a remarkable, overnight resurgence in the improvement in the way our Ford runs. Remarkable is not too strong a word for the car’s improvement, literally overnight, in operation two weekends ago. All summer it had been limping along; it could not be driven more than 35 to 40 miles per hour without a strong vibration throughout, and any attempts at a higher speed seemed to be outright dangerous. The garage that services it said it was unsafe to be used outside the city limits, for fear of breakdown, etc.

(Last Sunday, on a trip to see my parents, the car ran at 60 MPH during a brief experiment; it did so smoothly and effortlessly, and had plenty of power left. Whereas during the summer it required a distinct effort to keep it going at even 34 MPH, now I have to be careful to not use too much pressure on the accelerator, for the car will now leap ahead almost without warning.)

(I wanted more data re the car’s trouble and cure, but wasn’t sure it was a good idea to ask Jane more specific questions at this time. I knew she probably also preferred a shorter session tonight. After the session I asked Jane to keep in mind that the car could be discussed again.)

(10:05. Jane’s delivery as usual. She said she knows nothing about automobiles. She doesn’t drive. I spent a little time explaining to her how a car operates, in the hope that this more specific knowledge would help her relay Seth’s data re the Ford in a future session.)
