“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(1. Does Jane’s inherently mystical nature give rise to conflicts with the non-mystical world she finds herself in this time around? She may be so different in basic ways from most of her fellow human beings that conflicts may be almost inevitable—at least until later in life, when the personality has learned what the situation is and can make adjustments. Jane said that she never thinks of mysticism, herself, yet I think such factors could operate easily enough in our world. My question is based upon the environment and situations she found herself in as she grew—not upon any questions about why she chose such circumstances in this life to begin with.

(2. I found myself wondering if my own attitudes might have strongly influenced Jane’s early psychic behavior in ways neither of us suspected—that she may have inhibited certain elements of her abilities because she feared my own ideas about distractions, time, failure, etc. Perhaps, Jane had wanted more physical and psychic activity all along, I thought—more tours, TV, publicity, fame, money, whatever—but all those things she held back on because of my own negative attitudes. I speculated about whether her sitting on such desires, not daring to admit them, say, might have surfaced as fear of scorn and criticism, and so forth. If such factors operated, they’d be the opposite of those we usually hold accountable. I do know that Jane has the abilities to perform all of those activities, and this almost idle realization recently may have triggered the more concrete question.

(Jane has written down her feelings each day since we began the new program, and we’ve then discussed them. The system seems to be working very well. We also use the pendulum before bed, with very good results. She hasn’t walked a great deal lately, but our emphasis is now on trusting the body’s own wisdom as to when it wants to perform, and what it wants to do. We seem to know a new kind of peaceful understanding, at least to some degree. Jane reports a continuing series of physical changes throughout her body—from the legs and ankles to the shoulder blades, elbows, ribs, etc. As Seth remarked, nothing is tightening up.)

(“Thank you.” 10:49 PM. Seth commented on my Stella Butts experience just as I was about to ask him to do so. I’d forgotten to remind Jane about that experience before the start of the session. A copy of the experience can be found in my dream notebook.

(We’ve already reorganized and condensed the morning suggestions, as Seth recommends our doing in this session, and find that they’re now much more effective. Jane has been sleeping well.)
