“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was held for John Pitre and his wife Peg of Franklin, LA, following John’s telephone call to Jane earlier this evening. The call ended at approximately 8 PM. See also the 364th, 366th sessions, etc.

(John reported that his wife was very ill, had been in the hospital recently for several weeks, etc., and had not entered into a very deep trance state during sessions with a hypnotherapist; Seth had recommended Peg see such a professional. This evening John asked Jane if Seth could say something about why Peg had followed, or chosen, such a role in this physical life—a role seemingly without reward or hope; she has multiple sclerosis.

He lost his own wife, and was left with a highly neurotic and completely crippled daughter, for whom he cared for many years. The woman’s name as a man (pause) was Nicolo Vanguardi (my phonetic interpretation) and the daughter’s name was Rosalina. He resented the girl, and while he cared for her he did not do so kindly.

He wanted to remarry. No one would have him because of his daughter. The girl, when she could, defied him. (Long pause.) She was a rather handsome-looking young woman, though not of stable temperament, crippled but not deformed.

When she was 33 she was more youthful appearing than women much younger who were forced to work in the fields. They had a very small farm, and itinerant help. A widowed man with no children, from a nearby village, came here to help on the farm. He fell in love with the daughter, and despite her condition, took her to his home village.

The father was thoroughly embittered. The daughter had left too late; he was too old. No one would have him. He had no one now to talk to, and he hated his daughter the more, and railed that she had forsaken him in his old age, after he had cared for her through the long years.

This time he plays that part and is completely immersed in it. There are connections. (Long pause.) John was the man with whom the daughter left. (Pause.) Now. (Pause.) John’s wife loves him, and has been made subconsciously to see the good points in his personality. In the past he hated the man who took away the daughter.

Through the change of roles, Peg now gains insight on the past failures, and also helps her present husband, indeed, to become more contemplative, and to seek for answers to questions that he would not have asked otherwise. She is adding to his development, and working out very grievous flaws that existed in her own personality in the past.

There were many reasons why John and his wife met and began their relationship. While such situations as Peggy’s illness are chosen by the entity, the individual is always left to work out its own solution. Complete recovery, illness or early death, for example, are not preordained on the part of the entity. The general situation is set up in response to deep inner involvements.

His wife chose to solve several problems this time, rather than string them out. This is a characteristic of that entity—an impatience and yet a daring, because the situation represented such a challenge. All of the weak points were intensified, hence the gravity of the physical condition.

The entity preferred this rather than a series of smaller difficulties. In this John acquiesced, to learn patience and forbearing, to take what he considered his medicine in one dose, so to speak.

We will give you some information concerning his past lives at another session. But both of them have set themselves to learn compassion, patience, and forbearing. They chose different ways because of their backgrounds. In one way he has been too precise, and in another too impetuous. They are both learning from each other.

If the overall entity feels that the problem has been sufficiently solved, then it will end this life situation. But there is also a connection here with John, and the wife’s personality will not leave until John has also sufficiently achieved all benefits from the relationship that his entity hoped for.
