“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After supper this evening both Jane and I did a lot of griping and complaining about her symptoms, and our inability to solve the problems involved. We were very disappointed that all of our recent efforts, in line with Seth’s suggestions, hadn’t resulted in any improvement.

(We could only think that something, somewhere, somehow, had escaped our daily notice; yet to pin this down seemed beyond our means. We felt exhausted. I finally went back to the studio to relax a bit. Unknown to me Jane used her pendulum in her workroom. When we sat for the session around 9 PM, Jane said her pendulum told her that the symptoms were caused by the house we lived in, and, specifically, by the original owner. This individual, nameless to us, had built the elaborate shower in apartment five, which is one of the two apartments we have here.

(We used this shower for years. The only thing we knew about it was, after all, talk that the owner had installed it for therapeutic relief from arthritis. We had no idea if Jane’s pendulum data was the magic we were looking for, but at least we hadn’t considered this idea before. It sounded too simple to me at first, but still....

(Jane was so wrought up that at first she thought a session might not develop. Both of us were angry. “Boy, Seth, you better come up with some answers,” she said. Much more talk followed; we speculated about ramifications stemming from the idea that the house was involved. Seth finally interrupted us.)

(This was a real reaction from Seth. I felt the force of his momentary anger, I felt personally involved. I also thought that this might stem from Jane’s expressed feelings of anger and resentment before the session, and her demands that Seth help. Perhaps this method had its merits?)

(It’s true that Jane improved considerably when we took the second apartment across the hall the summer before last. Yet I, at least, didn’t connect this with her improvement.)

(Since I left Artistic last February, in other words. I also would like Seth to elaborate on the top paragraph on this page, about influences in the house. Is he saying that these influences were those indicated by Jane’s pendulum this evening?)

(11:10. When she came out of it, Jane said, “I’m afraid to move.” She meant getting out of the rocker, going to the bathroom, etc., then said this was mixed up with moving out of this house, etc. Resume at 11:20.)

(11:45. After leaving trance Jane said, “I’m afraid to move,” then explained that this time she was afraid only of moving away from this house. Getting up wasn’t involved, etc. 12:00 midnight.)
