“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session Jane said that in the last week she: 1. Is reading much better—“damn well” on Seth’s book. Psyche, and on Emir. This applies to her copying work on the typewriter also. 2. Her newspaper and other small-print reading has been better overall, although it’s not even in quality. But still there have been definite improvements. Her intermediate vision needs the most work. 3. “My legs have changed quite a bit during the week. I’m definitely taller. I can stand taller most of the time.” These changes were accompanied by perhaps three days or so of muscular soreness, which has now largely disappeared. All of these things Jane considered to be her “two-week report,” as discussed in the deleted session for January 7, 1978.

When man identified with nature, as given in Psyche, he did not imagine that the gods disapproved of him when storms lashed across the landscape. He did not at that time, as is supposed, do sacrifice then to win the gods’ approval. Instead, identifying with nature, man identified also with all of its manifestations.

This of course gave you at that time a different orientation of consciousness. Man did not see himself pitted against the elements, but allied with them, whatever their mood or behavior. I have explained that kind of consciousness fairly well in portions of Psyche that Ruburt is reading. Man could exult in nature’s energy, power, and splendor, even in the midst of the most fierce storm —in which, indeed, his life might be in danger.
