“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This brief session was held to help deal with Jane’s recurring tooth symptoms. We knew they were related to Eleanor Friede and Rich Bed, etc., as detailed before. But their increasing frequency alarmed us considerably today. We learned much with the pendulum today, and kept hoping we had finally unearthed the symptoms’ cause. Each time the symptoms would return; today, after breakfast, then lunch, etc., so that we spent the whole day coping with them. I finally asked Jane after lunch if she could have a session regardless of whether she was bothered [as she was at the time of the session, to a lesser degree].

(Even during the session Jane’s voice was restricted, or quiet, as if she did not want to move her jaws and lips energetically.)

The aggravation of sinuses began before your trip to Rochester, when Eleanor spoke of Rich Bed. (Eleanor wrote Jane about this October 4, 1972, praising Rich Bed extensively. See the deleted session of November 13, 1972, etc.) I gave you some material on that—Ruburt taking on cold symptoms as given in that material.

(A few days ago Jane told me, after she’d examined herself in the mirror, that her teeth were “straightening themselves out,” etc.)

(Some interesting notes: We thought the session helped, and that the symptoms would vanish. In the middle of the afternoon Jane had a return of them to a lesser degree. We again used the pendulum, and learned a few new things. All of the reasons had to do with Eleanor and Rich Bed, and Adventures, Tam, Jane’s feelings of being cut off by Eleanor and Dick, etc. Seth’s new book was exonerated.

(I was too upset to give suggestions in the proper way after the session. Jane typed out a couple of pages. The last paragraph was new: she felt she couldn’t pressure Eleanor because Dick was publicizing Jane’s books. We hadn’t asked the pendulum this question. I suggested a two-week deadline; then Jane would ask for the return of Rich Bed if she’d had no word from Eleanor. While Jane used the pendulum I gave some suggestions. Jane took a nap while I finished cleaning up the living room.

(At about 6 PM, an hour before ESP class, the symptoms returned to a lesser degree. Both of us were once again alarmed. While Jane used her pendulum I gave suggestions, after reading this session to her. We went over what we had learned through Jane’s pendulum about an innocent remark of mine, that Jane didn’t have to ask Eleanor to return the script of Rich Bed after a two-week period. By this I wanted to show Jane that I wasn’t trying to tell her how to run things—but seemingly this remark instead rearroused Jane’s fears that she couldn’t insist upon action from Eleanor so quickly. Jane wants action.

(Jane dressed for class, and the symptoms didn’t worsen. She told me at a break in class that after the first few minutes she began to feel much better. During the evening as I worked in the kitchen, I heard her sing beautifully in Sumari several times; Seth spoke also, much more forcefully that he had this afternoon. Jane also told me that she liked class—we had discussed her dropping it soon—and that she intended to be “freer” in it from now on; and that the tooth thing would be conquered. It seems we learned a lot today. The fear we consciously experienced has been very instructive.)
