“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(When I got to 330 at 1:05 today I discovered that Jane was free of two more pathos on her ulcer sites—they were gone from inside her right knee, and her right shoulder. In addition, the ulcer on the outside of her right knee has shrunk so much that it no longer needs irrigation with each shift of the staff daily. Such is her remarkable healing progress, as Seth has been referring to it. In other words, we can chalk up three more improvements.

(I brought with me Kleenex, candy, popcorn and the poinsettia plant I bought for Jane at the Acme last night. I turned her on her back after she had a cigarette. The room wasn’t too warm.

(1:30. Jane ate a good lunch. The day staff made the decision that I’d probably buy an ice cream log for their Christmas party, at which many goodies will be served; I’ll get to take some home also. There was much kidding around. “Let the night shift look out for themselves,” Jan said. Georgia had braided Jane’s hair this morning on both sides, since my wife didn’t go to hydro.

(2:30. Jane finished lunch. I explained the two letters I’d found in the mail last night from Blue Cross. One was an error in billing for benefits that have already expired on our regular coverage. The other requested more time for a decision to be made on the payment of major medical benefits. We have received both types of communication before. Truly, they fit in with Seth’s reference to “bungling and bureaucracy” back in the session for December 3, eight days ago. Now tomorrow, I told her, I’ll show these latest letters to Andrew Fife in billing.

(2:50. Jane began reading yesterday’s session while I got out the mail. She did fairly well. Christine next door is still sounding off; Teresa is either quiet or gone. Jane finished the session at 3:02, after having done well with it.

(Seth made this observation because before the session Jane had remarked that she can still get “pretty blue at times.”)

(3:50. Jane had some ginger ale. As usual, I thought the session was over for the day. We’d had no interruptions.

(4:05. Jane had barely started some little motions when the staff—Cathy and Lorrie—started coming in to take her temperature—97.5—blood pressure, pulse, etc. She had a smoke afterward and began a few exercises again, moving her head and shoulders side to side and up and down, in rhythm with her left foot going gently. She made a few noises; her breathing picked up.

(4:30 PM. Jane suddenly began to cough. She asked for a Kleenex. I thought the session material might have bothered her, since from it, it seemed that the negative suggestions given by Georgia yesterday were still on her mind. But she said no, that there seemed to be “glue” on the new Sea Bond insert I’d applied to her lower teeth during break, so that she could eat supper in comfort. She said she could taste it. In retrospect, I remembered that when I applied the material it had seemed to stick more quickly than usual—so it must have contained more adhesive than usual. It came out of the same package as the others used recently.

(When I asked. Jane said she has picked up from staff people at various times that they thought her skin was fragile and would break down easily—”that a good wind would blow me away, things like that....”

(And almost right away Jane began a few mild motions. Once again, I thought the session excellent, another upbeat example of her progress and learning. I especially liked the portion that said inner and outer healing proceeded together—very important and encouraging. I hadn’t counted on Seth referring to the insurance question, though.

(Once again, Jane ate a good supper after her massage, and I had napped. I read the prayer to her at 7:05, and left a few minutes later when Cathy and Sharon came in to fix her up. Steve and Tracy had called during supper, and Jane had said she’d see them. I didn’t expect to. The two staff people obviously wanted to be through with Jane before company came.
