“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session I told Jane I’d like Seth to say more about her eyes. Her vision was somewhat better, but still I was concerned. Then I asked her if she had any questions for Seth. She didn’t. I answered that she seldom did because it probably saved her from dealing with certain problems; and as expected, my remarks got a quick reaction.

(Jane repeated several times that she had no questions, except to wonder why “it was taking so long to get over the whole thing,” and so forth. “‘You can put those in.” She added that she hoped that in each session “he’ll just come up with something that I can use to blaze right through with, that’s all.” Her physical improvements continued in general terms, although it had seemed to be a slower week.)

You were quite correct: it was not coincidence, for example, that you heard from Bill Macdonnel just after the Burt Ryerson story. The Spain connection with your friend the traveler, Carlos (Smith), and with the question of foreign translation of the books. There are obviously many patterns—some prominent and some subordinate, but they all work, often invisibly, adding up to seeming coincidences.

(A brief account for possible future use: Around November 17 we received a postcard from Carlos from his winter mooring berth in Alicante, Spain; card dated November 10. On Thanksgiving day, November 24, Carroll Stamp called us to tell us that she’d met Burt Ryerson, who had just returned from Spain. She didn’t know where; but Ryerson told her that while over there he’d heard that Jane and I had bought a house in Spain and were moving over there. I found this all quite unbelievable. We don’t know whether Carroll’s story is distorted, whether Ryerson may have things confused, or what. Evidently Ryerson was in Spain at the same time Carlos was, [and is, of course]. If Ryerson met anyone over there who knows us, we are quite unaware of it. I note these items in case something further develops out of Framework 2.

(It may simply be that Seth was referring to a foreign publisher in any European country, as one of the ingredients in this story of the workings of Framework 2. Card from Carlos attached to this session for reference if needed.)

(10:10.) Ruburt has been worrying, rather than concentrating upon his creative work. Neither of you have moved mentally, even playfully, ahead in terms of imagining what you will do. Ruburt’s fantasy that I mentioned—that was an attempt. The imagined motel trip a beginning, a mental move. I suggested you imagine a vacation. Neither of you have done so, though Ruburt did make a few attempts. You must move mentally, and you will move physically.

I mentioned hypnosis before. A concerted, enthusiastic, united response from both of you did not of course occur. Simple self-hypnosis on Ruburt’s part, just to induce physical relaxation, would also be of excellent benefit, because it would mean he was willing to induce relaxation.
