“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today had been very hot and humid—close to 90 degrees—following heavy rains yesterday and last night. The temperature was still high at session time; even hotter weather was predicted for tomorrow. We were aware of many of the noises in the neighborhood that we didn’t hear in the wintertime. Jane had slept till noon, following her very restless night, and she also took a nap when I did this afternoon. She had bouts of panicky feelings, and I tried to reassure her. Sometimes her feelings resulted in a few tears.

(After supper Debbie Janney visited without seeing Jane. Her cat, Kitty Cat, has been missing since 8 AM, and Debbie fears for its safety and/or life. She gave me a color photo of the cat to show Jane. The incident upset Jane, signifying as it did people’s urges to ask her all kinds of questions for all kinds of psychic help—taking it for granted that she was able and willing to offer that help. Jane said it made her feel “incompetent” that she couldn’t, or didn’t, pinpoint what had happened to the cat. She didn’t want to do such psychic detective work, she said, because it reminded her of her own difficulties—an obvious point we both mentioned. Yet there’s no controlling other people’s reactions to a given body of work, from which among other things such possibilities as finding lost animals—or people—could be deduced. Jane recalled her successes in helping to reassure the parents of two lost girls some years ago [in separate incidents] in the Midwest. I’d forgotten about these events, which contained some striking “hits” on her part. Neither girl was dead, by the way.
