“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The usual session time of 9 PM came and passed while Jane and I talked. Finally we used her pendulum to learn that her overly conscientious self did not want a session this evening. Her spontaneous self did.

(In the 358th Session Seth stated; “There are difficulties for Ruburt’s associate of last year at the center,” meaning Nancy Methinitus. This was on August 2, 1967. Today by telephone Nancy verified Seth, in that her mother is seriously ill at Mayo Clinic; the mother has been ill for some time, but was not, for instance, the last time Jane talked to Nancy, sometime prior to the 358th Session. The two seldom see each other since Jane left nursery school.

(This session is deleted from the record. Jane began speaking while sitting on the divan once more, her eyes opening at times, her pace rapid.)

The suggestions he has written down should be read twice at a time, three times daily, morning, noon and before retiring. Some excellent work has been done lately while in the dream state. For a while when he feels tired, or when he feels a definite resistance against work, he should do something that he enjoys doing. Never mind resenting the lost time. He will be refreshing himself, and the same amount of good work will be produced in any case, possibly more.

He should work on the dream book each day, whenever possible, but not all day. The spontaneous self dislikes the spelling chores and the bare typing, and the overly conscientious self fears the books success. Two, at the most three, hours daily is sufficient for now. Possibly two hours unless he feels like more. When he does, this is fine. The rest of the time for poetry. This is the most reasonable and attainable goal for the present. The book will be finished, but not too many demands will be made of either portion of the self on a daily basis.

Now. All so-called spiritualistic literature should be avoided at this time, simply because the overly conscientious self misinterprets it, and sets up further standards of perfection.

Unless you have any questions we will end the session. These last sessions should be read several times weekly however.

Each book is an individual book. The question cannot be answered in those terms. The spiritualistic books however he will manage to misinterpret at this time. Short trips out of the apartment are beneficial. Walks, rides, people. Casual encounters as of this evening are good for him.
