“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I’ve made no effort to record her progress systematically since we began our twice-daily suggestion routine, and since Frank Longwell has been giving her a weekly massage. Frank has done some notes on it, and Jane has a few. She tried to do more today, but couldn’t concentrate upon it. Her improvements seem to accelerate a bit each day. Even her knees seem to be unlocking; her wrists are bending somewhat, etc. She hasn’t written on Psychic Politics for a couple of days because of her persisting relaxed states.)

There are times in history when the race deals with different kinds of challenges. In programmed societies where “each man or woman knows his or her place,” then the will knows which direction to follow, though other considerations and prerogatives might be ignored. Actually in your society there are many prerogatives. Ruburt wanted to go in one particular direction, but with no clear-cut known ways of getting there.

When will is divided the structure is divided. The body acts as truly and automatically, but it does not follow one given course, but splintered causes or ends.

(Waving a foot in the air, pointing it at me:) This is the end of tonight’s session. Let both of you rejoice in the body’s growing flexibility. What I have said about the will is important, for you and for others. I want Ruburt to relax again, however, and allow his body to do its thing. But the will’s power is impressive, and it is “distributed” throughout the body. The body depends upon it for direction. The will’s beliefs, again. Activate the body’s automatic resources. End of session.

(10:20. PM. After the session I told Jane I’d been tempted to ask Seth to comment on the tragic situation involving Venice and Howard McCullough, but decided not to because of Jane’s own concerns. After supper tonight the Bumbalos had told us that Howard has been diagnosed as having cancer of the esophagus, and is to be operated on tomorrow morning. Venice is to stay with the Bumbalos. Venice and Howard sold their house on the same day the cancer was found. The whole situation made me wonder about what had happened to this couple who were valued members of society, had done things right, etc., raised a family. Jane was willing to go back into trance, but I thought she’d better pass it up.
