“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I asked if Seth would discuss Tam’s dream of January 1, 1973; her cold symptoms dating from last October; and the letter Seth has promised to dictate for correspondents. We played badminton today also. Both of us had many interruptions, and resolved to do something about this. We planned to get up much earlier tomorrow, for one thing.)

The cold and the jaw difficulty—both of these were his physical interpretation of a growing crisis that had to be faced. He was ready to face the problem, to bring it out into the open, and the whole issue was finally brought out into the open through those symptoms. The critical period is over because of his recognition of the problem and his determination to face and solve it.

This suggestion is for the present. The cold will also now be vanishing, as I tell you that following it will be the other symptoms. This only however if the writing habit is kept up, and the other suggestions.

(“You mean by my pendulum?” When I learned not long ago that Jane’s symptoms were caused by her fear that her psychic work was not letting her do her own writing—that she was failing as a writer, that she wanted success as a writer first, not as a psychic, etc.)

Ruburt was quite conscious all the time about the reasons behind the symptoms. He just wasn’t ready to face it. This makes my book extremely valid.

(It is Monday, January 15 as I finish typing this session. On the day it was held, January 10, Seth said there wouldn’t be any more great trouble for Jane through the tooth symptoms. This hasn’t proven out. The tooth symptoms have hung on, perhaps not as severely; they frighten Jane a good deal. Through the pendulum, suggestion, her writing, etc., we have learned a lot about their causes. Eliminating the symptoms though is like trying to pick up mercury at this writing. The latest wrinkle is that the teeth reflect her concern about money, eating, and my own success as an artist...)
