“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today Jane has been really “out of it.” She’s felt a lot of muscular discomfort with her physical improvements, though, making it hard to concentrate. By 8:30, when she’d finished doing the dishes, the overall soreness had dissipated to some degree, but she appeared to be so groggy with relaxation that I hardly expected her to want to have a session. She yawned again and again.

His life was one of those lives that were finally used to compose the composite image of the biblical Christ.
