“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I did remember a vivid dream of last night, though, and described it to Jane. With a young agile man, I’d climbed up the rough outside red brick wall of an apartment house—several stories up, at least, and climbed in through a window into my own apartment. Jane wasn’t in the dream. I had been a little nervous about the climb up the sheer wall, but had managed it okay. So had my younger friend. Now, I refused to go back out the window and down the wall, like a fly or an animal might. Instead my companion was assigned this job: Each day his task was to climb back out the window with perhaps three looseleaf volumes of the Seth material tucked under one arm. With the other, and his feet, he was to maneuver his way back down the wall, with only a white rope as an aid, until he reached the street. I saw him do this, and wished him good luck. I do not know what he was to do on the street, or ground level, with the notebooks.

(Jane had been waiting for staff to do vitals before trying a session, but then she determined to go ahead anyhow. Her Seth voice was slower than usual, and rather quiet.)

(3:53 PM. There was a knock on the door. A new nurse came in to do Jane’s vitals—temperature 98, etc. Blood pressure also. Lorrie came in to apologize for forgetting to give Jane her medications last night. Eventually Jane had called, and someone else had done the deed.

—that can appear most arduous at times, when you begin to think about the work involved, while the other part of you goes calmly on, bringing the books to the public one by one, so to speak. I do not mean by the term “rarefied atmosphere” that you live in a world superior to other people’s—only that our work is, in those terms, uncommon, highly original, and in many ways mysterious—for it confounds many of the conventionalized concepts of the daily world in which you live.

(In relation to Seth’s material on the fund, I told Jane, it seems that creativity obviously has many more facets to it than we ordinarily think—if we need or want money, for example, with it just serving as a means to an end—our doing our work—it will be provided if we’re not closed to the idea. And it doesn’t matter how it comes, as long as it’s honest—through our “earning” it in the conventional way, or whether we find it on the ground or it falls out of the sky, or someone gives it to us, or it comes through insurance, or whatever. The fund idea is an ideal case in point, being quite unexpected. As we talked Jane said the idea may even have ramifications that may touch Pete Harpending, our attorney.
