“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane lost an eye tooth early this morning, before we got up. It became abundantly clear that she was going to lose the tooth a couple of days ago, as it began to visibly descend from its socket; I could see it wobble in its socket as we ate breakfast Friday morning, and she expected to lose it at any minute. I found this very discouraging, and once again began to question the whole bit about symptoms, recovery, Seth, etc.

(Yesterday we also had two unexpected visitors, as well as a brief call from a young man who had called on us unannounced with a friend, last week. The two women were from Arizona and Massachusetts; the former had flown here to see Jane unannounced. I turned her away at the door with a promise that Jane would call her at the Holiday Inn. Shortly after she left, the second caller, a “parapsychologist” from a college in Massachusetts, was camping in Pine Valley with her family. I arranged that both women would meet here at 4:00 PM to talk with Jane for an hour before supper time; Sue Watkins was also due that afternoon with some typed material for Psyche—which is why I made the arrangement to begin with.

(Jane and I almost had an argument over the setup, though, for I had mistakenly assumed that she’d be glad to see everyone at once and get it over with, so we’d be free the rest of the day. Instead, Jane was counting on being free for the day and didn’t want to see anybody except Sue. I decided that henceforth I would turn visitors away, since I didn’t see how I could know in advance whether she felt like seeing anyone or not. I mention these details to show something of our situation re Seth’s last deleted session on “intruders” when we want privacy. We haven’t resolved such dilemmas then, obviously.

(It follows that Jane did keep her tooth during the women’s visit, losing it while still in bed early Saturday morning. Strangely, she could eat and chew better with the tooth gone than while she still had it. I’m very sensitive to tooth troubles, of course, and probably project some of this upon others; but Jane’s losing the tooth reminded me of Seth’s very recent declaration that she might lose more teeth because of the relaxation taking place in her jaws. We’ll see whether she can retain her two front teeth, which shifted their position at once after the eye tooth dropped out.

(Tonight I didn’t know whether it was worthwhile having a session or not. Yet Jane reported more walking changes today; we thought they were good changes, so eventually we sat for the session. I might add that although Seth said losing the teeth was a minor thing, comparatively, it doesn’t seem so to us. Also: when Sue arrived, she reported that on her visit to the dentist this afternoon a large cavity was discovered that she didn’t know existed. She remarked upon her own beliefs about teeth—something she’d had no trouble with for many years.)

(And I’d say that Seth’s material on Jane and me represents a probable reality for us—that those things DID happen elsewhere….

(A note: The woman from Arizona sent Jane a telegram late Saturday afternoon, asking that Jane see her again, saying that she would wait several days at the Holiday Inn. etc. Jane called her at the Holiday Inn. only to be told.< that the woman had left. She must have done so soon after sending the wire. A change of heart? We had been out earlier Saturday, but evidently the woman had not been here. In any event, Jane was prepared to tell her that she would not see her again.)
