“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the attached copies of Jane’s reincarnation and grandfather dreams of March 6, and her nightmarish experience of March 8. All of these are very important, I think, with the experience of March 8 taking precedence, I’d say. They’re all classics. Jane woke me up often during the night while she was having the March 8 experience, and we think it contains many important clues to her hassles. She’s reread all of the experiences several times so far, and has made a few additional notes about the March 8 event in particular.

(We’d thought that Seth might refer to them in the session for last Monday, but none was held because once again Jane was so relaxed on the couch after supper. She was also somewhat blue and discouraged. In fact, I hadn’t expected a session tonight until she called me at 8:40, so relaxed was she. She’s been sleeping much better generally, though, is still taking a nap in the late morning as well as our usual nap break just before supper. She’s also been heading for bed a half hour earlier at night.

Some of Ruburt’s short notes, written after the nightmare experience (and which I’ve asked Jane to copy for this record), show that he is beginning to put that material into its proper reference. Those fears, however, have been pertinent, since they stood between old beliefs and new ones—that is, they prevented him from taking full advantage of his newer knowledge, and of the abilities and good intent of the spontaneous self.

In the dream his grandfather revives. His grandfather survived in a suit too large, which means that there was still room for him to grow (as I’d suggested to Jane ). He [Ruburt] had a small experience of hearing a voice speak in his mind [yesterday]—a voice of comfort, all he remembered of quite legitimate assistance he received from other personalities connected with the French life, that came as a result of the French dream.

(9:55 PM. I smiled, thinking of the mixed results I’m having trying to get various flower seeds to germinate both in and outside of the planter Jane gave me for Christmas. The sweet peas and marigolds are doing great, the godetia and dianthus not so great, so far.

(Half joking, I said to Jane, “What did you think of that? Are you trying to tell me religion has been in back of this all of the time? I thought you left the church. It appears you didn’t leave it at all.... I’ll have to arrange for an exorcism for you.”

(Jane laughed, sort of. “Well, I’m glad I had it.”

(“I thought it might,” Jane said. “I’ll have milk and a cookie to take my aspirin with, then I’ll go in the bedroom at 10:30.”

(I suggested to Jane that she see what she might be able to pick up on her own about the French life. I mentioned that Normandy province is in the northwestern corner of France, some 20 miles across the channel from England. I’ve read that it’s predominantly rural in character, and thought that it was probably even more so back in the l6th century. It could have been a grim, if beautiful, setting.
