“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“See, now, that really bothers me,” Jane said at 8:l6. “I’ve done nothing but doze off since I called you.... Maybe Seth’s right—about dozing after eating.... I’m warm now, quite warm. Like now I’m afraid to pick up a cigarette—I think I’ve got one in my hand but I don’t at all.... But I do have the feeling that Seth will give us considerable help once we get going.

Now: Ruburt’s body is experimenting with its own metabolism. The gland is (underlined) activating itself by itself—off and on, so to speak, giving a sputtering effect. Overall, the body is exploring the best rhythm of metabolism, and fitting itself in with the medication. In some fashions it uses more energies at times than at others, and slowly begins to demand more energy, so there will be periods of unevenness—but he is (underlined) being provided for.

There is no reason why, with proper attitudes, even within your situation, that the typing of my last book should not go easily, Joseph. Ruburt’s hands will improve. Normal writing will become as real to him as his normal hearing is now.
