“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

DELETED SESSION

(The regularly scheduled session for last Monday was not held.

(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....”)

(An interesting debate emerged between us as we waited for the session to begin. When Jane read her material of this afternoon to me, I thought she likened the Sinful Self’s renewal to reincarnation, meaning that she thought this renewal might account for many of our overt ideas of reincarnation—that at least some of our ideas about reincarnation were based upon our intuitive knowledge of the return of portions of one’s self to that earlier state of innocence—a rebirth, in other words, that we might translate into the idea of physical incarnation. So when I agreed with Jane this afternoon, it was partly for that reason.

The short paper he wrote today, and my last session, should help here, for we are speaking of the transformation of the Sinful Self, sympathetically, as it is seen as a psychological structure of growth and change—a stage through which the self traveled—one that is no longer necessary and can now instead turn to a new state of innocence.

End of session. Have Ruburt translate your dream (of July 7) for you, and then I will comment. I wish you a fond good evening, and an acceleration of dreaming activity. You remember dreams when you are ready to assimilate new knowledge at conscious levels.

End of session once more.
