“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(No session was held Monday night because Jane was so relaxed again—that is, I’d thought that was the reason, but more about that later. “When I sit on the couch and relax after supper, I don’t want to do anything,” she said. “I don’t even want to have a session tonight. I don’t feel him around at all.” She’d called me at 8:45. She still sat in her usual place on the couch, and following a suggestion I’d made the other day she decided to try having the session from that position. It meant she’d be able to lean back, “taking the pressure off my ass,” she laughed. “But I don’t know how it’ll work out.”

(Actually, I learned as we talked, Jane had called me for a session Monday evening, but I hadn’t heard her. I’d taken it for granted that she wanted the rest instead. But she said when I didn’t answer she decided to let the session go.

(See the attached experiences of Jane’s, of March 13 and l6. I showed them to her to refresh her memory. As with her earlier experiences, these were excellent and quite to the point considering her hassles. It was easy to lose track of them, unfortunately. “I’ve completely forgotten your questions, too,” she said. As I had, for the most part. Nor have I added to that list for a long time now. One thing that inhibited me is that I was aware, of course, of the predominantly negative context or tone of the whole idea of the list. It’s a contradictory attitude, of course, since these private sessions are an effort to learn something about our hassles—not a self-congratulatory exercise.

(At 9:12 Jane reminded me that she’d been sleeping much better recently. “And my arms are definitely longer, and go out to the sides farther, and I think my legs are better too—they don’t stick up so high under the covers when I lay on my back.”

(Since Seth mentions such episodes tonight, I’ll note here also that lately Jane has had a number of dreams involving television programs that we’ve seen—shows like Dallas, TV movies, etc. Now as she prepared for Seth to come through she sat upright on the couch. Then: )

(Now Jane began to lean back on the couch; she looked to be much more comfortable.)

(9:32.) That process has been strengthened as far as Ruburt is concerned once again. The Stonehenge poem (that Jane began writing earlier in March, when we received an English postcard from Michael Lorimer) in a way is a case in point, since it shows the reawakening of a certain kind of creative and psychic activity. So does the bodily relaxation, however, and that steady reduction of tension is bound to show good results as he learns to trust himself further.

(A good point. I mentioned to Jane when I read the session to her from my notes this morning that it’s one of those obvious things easy to overlook: Jane’s steady relaxation is bound to help....)

(“No....” Actually I had many questions, but decided to forgo them since Seth had remarked earlier that Jane needed time to assimilate the material he’s already given.)

(10:12 PM. Jane’s delivery from her new position on the couch had been steady and emphatic until she slowed down noticeably toward the end of the session. I told Jane it was an excellent session and that she’d done well. She’d alternated while sitting between perching upright and leaning back.)
