“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Late yesterday afternoon we received our order of DMSO. We have hopes for good results, without hoping too much. I’ve started a detailed account of its use, including times of application, body parts treated, etc. Yesterday evening we checked to see if Jane would have any negative reactions. She evidently doesn’t. So far we’ve tried it tentatively on various portions of her body, with what appear to be some promising results. Anything will help, of course, so we’ll see. See my records for a complete account of our efforts with DMSO.

(We sat for the session at 8:10. We wanted Seth to comment on the DMSO, and on Jane’s very swollen right foot. [The left foot has lost some of its original swelling, and now appears much better by contrast.] I told Jane I thought Seth was correct in the deleted session for June 24, 1981, in which he said the swelling effect helps cushion the new motion of some joints, so there is no grating. I also told her I thought another reason applied, however, one that led to the swelling to begin with. She is waiting apprehensively to see what the public’s reaction to God of Jane is. Although a few hundred copies of this book may have been shipped, it hasn’t really come out yet. The idea had come to me some days ago that Jane’s foot troubles were directly related to her fears of being accepted in a controversial role. “I thought you knew something like that was going on.” I said. She shook her head: “I don’t know what I think. I’d like him to say something about the DMSO, and that material I got this afternoon, and maybe the foot....”)

(At 8:25 her right knee “doesn’t hurt at all at this point,” but she repeated that it took a while for the DMSO to really start to work. We’d applied it to her knee at 7:30 PM.)

(Long pause.) Now: the substance (DMSO), used as you are using it, will not do Ruburt any harm, and can be of great value, as it introduces more equitable bodily motions and sensations that now, with Ruburt’s greater understanding, he can accept, appreciate, and put to fullest benefit.

(9:43 PM. “Well,” Jane laughed, “that’s the most comfortable I’ve been today” —meaning in trance, of course. She’s been having trouble lately getting comfortably situated on her end of the couch. She wasn’t aware of her right knee, she said, meaning that it wasn’t bothering her; we’d applied the DMSO to it at 7:30 PM, over two hours ago. I could tell that it had been absorbed, since her skin looked dry now.

(I was pleased by Seth’s comments on the DMSO. I’d been thinking that it could hardly be a coincidence that Jane has been getting the Sinful Self material, that Peggy G. wrote the article about the DMSO in the paper, that the paper carried the ad where we could order it, and that we’d decided to try it at this time....)
