“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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. There were other people in a blue mood on his floor, also. He let himself become partially influenced by their moods, then used that to release old tensions—tensions that earlier, you see, had lodged in muscles and bones.

(And Jane, now I’ll tell you that as you had a crying spell last night—so have I at various times since you went into the hospital last April. I remember that once I woke up in bed, after midnight, and burst into tears as I thought about you. The spell must have lasted for at least half an hour; it went on and on. Other times I would suddenly begin crying as I ate breakfast, or heard a familiar song on television, or sat at my typewriter working on Dreams. I always knew that these episodes were therapeutic. They began to taper off after you resumed the sessions in early October, and I haven’t had one now—not outright crying—for several weeks. But for a long time—months—I lived with tears just beneath the surface, you might say, as I wondered what was going to happen to us, why you were so sick, what we’d done wrong all those years, and so forth. I learned to live with those feelings, but it was a different kind of life than I’d ever known. For a long while I was resigned to them.
