“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane felt very relaxed before the session, as she had most of the day: “The first day I’ve had it made in a month,” she said. Still, she’d become blue temporarily in the bathroom after supper. She did want to have a session, though. After our meal I’d reread some of these late private sessions, and had planned to go over some of those from 1973, but various distractions prevented me from doing the latter.

(“I’m just waiting,” she said at 9:35. “Actually my ankles are doing all kinds of things, releasing.... I’m so relaxed I could go right to bed....” So could I for that matter.

Your morning discussion, concerning Ruburt’s past, was also beneficial, for it is good to remind yourselves of your own (underlined) backgrounds, rather than ever comparing yourselves with other people whose own backgrounds may have little to do with yours. You have both done remarkably well from that viewpoint. When you seem to suffer in contrast to the development or situation of any other specific or generalized persons, it is when you are trying to live up to artificial pictures of yourselves—of people who should have been as knowledgeable years ago as they are now, and who therefore now should be at much greater stages of development.

In a fashion you recognized much of this in your morning discussion about Ruburt’s problem, but it applies to each of you. The idea of Ruburt doing some work in the near future on Rich Bed is therefore a good one.

Again, you have evidence of his body’s willingness to change for the better. His faith is growing, and both of you can help reinforce it. The sessions on work discuss the relaxation and work aspects thoroughly, and should not be forgotten. Many of your accomplishments (long pause) are allowed to fade when you do not pay attention to the large bulk of your mail, for it does involve people whose lives you are indeed helping to change for the better.
