“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Yes.” At suppertime, Seth spoke to Jane rather harshly as she worked in the kitchen. His data concerned her symptoms, and evidently continued material we had been discussing ourselves the last day or two on our own. I asked that tonight’s session deal only with personal material, so we were fairly well prepared. Jane shed a few tears when she came to the studio to tell me that she had heard from Seth late this afternoon. She also remarked that she wished she hadn’t heard from him. However, I considered the insights she gained to be very valuable indeed.)

(We have been recently planning that I am to leave my job at Artistic at the end of January, and take at least a year to paint, etc., after a month’s trip to Florida in February. This after we have finished with Seth’s book early in January. In a strange way I now felt that I had the freedom to do anything I wanted to, whereas before I had been worrying considerably about the financial effects of my leaving the job. Suddenly I viewed it in other ways.)

(Seth might have added that these occasions were still subpar physically however, to others who were not impaired. Not to mention the emotional turmoil and worry about whether the affair could be carried through.)

(This statement struck me so forcibly that I simply had to stop writing for a bit in order to recover from my amazement. I asked Seth to wait.)

(I was quite skeptical. I was remembering a lot of other such statements by Seth about vacations, etc., none of which accomplished anything that I could remember. I was remembering now what Seth had said earlier in the session about Jane’s attitude toward vacations, chores, etc., being a waste of time since these things took her away from her work.)

(I didn’t believe any of this, and still don’t. I let Seth see my disbelief, but said no more. Nor have I yet seen a vacation break any patterns of behavior, or change any attitudes. After the session, I told Jane I would have to see it to believe it.)

(“He’s known for at least a year that I didn’t agree at all—and probably longer than that, Seth.”)

(“I am. Good night, Seth, and thank you very much.”
