“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had the “tooth bit” in a rather distant way, briefly after breakfast and after supper today. We talked over the causes, used some suggestions, and that seemed to take care of it. She feels much better. She is writing down her fears, angers, good points, etc., each day. This has been very revealing.

(9:30.) Certain ideas he has now are in a stage of transition still, a necessary stage. The tooth was meant to get his attention, to make him realize the importance of acting now. There will be no more great trouble with it. In a few days it will have completely disappeared. It is of great importance now however that he write down his thoughts as begun each day. It is not that he need concentrate on negative ideas. These are normal feelings and thoughts that gained such charge only because they were collected about the unfaced dilemma; whether or not he could make it on his own, or could afford the opportunity to try.

The fear then colored his other attitudes and reactions. His fear of the tooth pain was a physical interpretation of his fear of facing the dilemma, the pain of bringing it out into the open. Then he found it was not as bad as he thought—he could operate anyway, and amazingly well, as in class (ESP) last evening.

(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...)
