“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The weather had warmed up to the point where we had rain instead of snow—about 30 degrees—but this threatened to create another problem—icy roads. At 11:00 this morning I’d about decided the hill was too dangerous to drive; I thought of calling the nursing station at A-3. Then the sand truck came. I checked the road half an hour later, and it seemed okay. I made the trip.

(Surprise! As Jane and I were getting ready to eat lunch several staff people, including Cathy, Jan, Mary the head nurse, Dawn, Sue, brought in a large flat-pan cake decorated for the 30th anniversary of Jane and me. They’d ordered it made downstairs in dietary. We were really surprised. On top of all that, the cake itself was very good. Several of the girls took pieces with them as they went back to work, and Jane and I had some after lunch. There’s enough cake for all three shifts. I brought home a couple of smallish pieces.

(Jane ate well, and for dessert had some cake and ice cream. At her suggestion, she tried eating same from a paper plate on her belly. She managed to eat some of it with a spoon, but had trouble also. Nevertheless, as she said, it was something she wouldn’t have even thought of a couple of weeks ago—another great sign, I told her.

(3:49. Jane discovered that her right arm could flex more at both the shoulder and the elbow—especially the elbow—which is an excellent sign. In fact, she could swing the right hand down so that it touched her thigh, then moved outside of it. This is better than she did the other day, even. Then Jane learned that her right arm was behaving in a similar, if more limited, fashion. Another step, I told her. She followed these motions with some gentle head and shoulder movements. Both feet moved some. The big toe on her right foot still hurts.

(4:20. I tried to do mail, but was too sleepy. Jane kept making shoulder motions. She said that now that everyone was through coming in, she’d like to have a short session.)

(4:46 PM. As soon as Seth began talking about probabilities, I knew he was extending his material that he began in the session for December 21, in which he stated that unchosen probabilities may be quite changed by those chosen for activation. Again, this is a new thought in the material.

(After the session Jane asked me what country ancient Persia was now. At first, although I was certain I knew the answer, I said Afghanistan. Then I changed my answer to Iran, which is the correct one. She said she felt that Seth may have alluded to our improving our relations as a nation with Iran, though this may be hard to believe at present. [Actually, according to the dictionary, the present country of Afghanistan was part of the ancient Persian Empire.]

(Anyhow, she—or Seth—seldom comes through with that type material. It will be interesting to see what develops. I told Jane I’d just written a note for Dreams last week, about the general Iranian situation. I didn’t think that was why Seth had mentioned anything about the Middle East today, though; I hadn’t mentioned the note to Jane, either.

(Jane ate well after her massage. The rain had stopped by the time I left at 7:15; the drive home was uneventful, although I took it easy. Sleep well, Sweetheart.)
