“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s Tuesday paper on her feelings is evidently a very important one, representing some excellent insights on her part about her repressed impulses, her fears about my reactions to various events, her private nature and public appearances, and related topics. I’d say that to some extent at least its content flows from the proposed interview with a reporter from The Village Voice, a contact made with the business manager at WELM in town, and so forth—hardly accidental, we think, that these events connected with publicity, her work, etc., come into our awareness at this time. They seem to be like small test cases, meaning that our reactions to them, how we handle them, will show rather clearly where we’re at these days, as they say.

(After supper this evening, Jane had a rather strong reaction, a new determination that had arisen from her encounters with the idea of impulse and inspiration. Making ready for the session, I discovered that she was quite vehemently going over and expressing [to some extent] what she’d learned today. She didn’t know whether she’d have a session or not. We talked about it all. She was “agitated, yet half-relaxed.” she said more than once. I thought it all a very good sign that some of our new thinking was beginning to take hold. Certainly the events were healthy and positive, compared to our earlier ways of thinking and reacting. I can’t describe Jane’s reactions too well from the observer’s viewpoint, except to approximate them here. Her stomach was queasy, she said, as it sometimes gets when she deals with very personal material that is also very accurate.
