“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I have been very upset over the holidays about her eye condition, and my chest disturbances. Both have been very worrisome. I even talked about seeing a doctor on both counts. Our original understanding was that the eye condition would pass rather quickly once Jane began to loosen up—but now it appears to be another fixed state in the general scheme of our lives. We’ve had a number of discussions about the whole business, and what we can do about any of it. I’m afraid we felt little to cheer about. We planned for a session last night but it didn’t develop.

(We haven’t paid any attention to the last session, for December 26, 1977, yet it contains a line that I’ve thought of often since it came through: “Ruburt....constantly concentrates upon what is still wrong.” Actually, this is true of both of us. For tonight, then, I wanted a session with answers in it, so that we could try again in spite of past failures. I still felt we didn’t know the whole story about the eyes, as well as the other symptoms, and that Jane may have inhibited some material on those topics.

Physical exercise becomes the area between, taking you from both your painting and writing, and furthermore is a reminder, an angry one, that the physical working area—the chores—are largely yours to do.

Ruburt’s creative work is highly spontaneous. It comes in bursts, in its own way outside of time. He is very impatient at the work involved in inserting it into time. The misunderstandings—and this has been covered—lead to overreactions on both of your parts, and lead both of you to misinterpret your contributions, because initially you do not approve of yourselves.

Give me a moment.... You have, far more than you realize, utilized our ideas in your daily lives, both to insure financial comfort—but more, to achieve the satisfaction that you are indeed reaching others, helping to change their lives for the better. You have the knowledge that many do not possess—that you are indeed affecting your times.

He favors at this time one side, and all his weight and emphasis and direction bears him to the right. The left leg is longer so that the stress is presently applied to the right side. Both the angle of his head and jaw, and the position of his arms, are involved. But the neck, those ligaments and muscles, largely bear the strain so that pressure is put upon the jaw on the right side, and this to some extent impedes sinus drainage in that area.

My last session was largely ignored by both of you, and yet in it there were important clues. Your own painting is growing despite your own ideas of what you think it should be. “Unknown” is a creative triumph despite your joint ideas of what that book should be.
