“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(3:20. A girl from Andrew Fife’s office called to tell me that Andrew had called one of the supervisors at Syracuse—Blue Cross—about our major medical claim. The man there said he’d pull our file, go over it all, and call Andrew back tomorrow. Word would be relayed to us, presumably in 330. So we’ll see.

(Then she said that off and on for a couple of hours last night she got very blue—awful, she said —crying and calling for me. This was before midnight. Then she was fine, and slept well.

I wanted to comment also on his period of blueness, since it certainly was unsettling to him. It was in its own way therapeutic: he was releasing old tensions that had been stored up, and they required that kind of fairly explosive release.

Cathy came in once and asked her what the trouble was. “I need to give myself a good kick in the ass,” Jane replied, and asked Cathy to turn her back on her back. The crying went on after that, too, but then, before midnight, Jane said, the period of blueness was gone. She slept well after that: “Yeah, I woke up this morning and my mood was fine—I spontaneously felt good. I decided I’d better keep track of the times I spontaneously feel good....”
