“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(No session was held yesterday, December 31, but here is a summary of the day’s events.

(Loren and Betts visited me from about 10:30 AM until 11:45. We had a very pleasant time, and Betts brought a jar of jam and some salad for Jane. We talked about Jane’s illness, our insurance challenges, money in general and the medical profession in particular. I said what I thought in a mild way, but I could tell that often they didn’t really understand what I was saying—though at times Betts surprised me a little by agreeing with me.

(Jane said the cans stood for creature nourishment that we could get when we needed it, and that it was also related to the fund question. My idea had been that the cans—getting to them, digging them out—had represented my searching for negative beliefs so I could dispose of them —but Jane said the idea of nourishment was involved.

(She remembered to tell me that she’d had muscle spasms in her left leg last night, and that she got very irritated over it, but that they didn’t last long after she took her Darvoset.

(3:35. Mary, the head nurse, came into empty Jane’s Foley. She got Jane some ginger ale on ice and asked Jane to try to drink more. I worked on mail. Jane had her vitals taken—temperature, 99.1—a little high, she said—from 4:10 to 4:15. Our clock on the TV had stopped running at 4:00, so when I reset it we found out it was half an hour later than we’d thought. But Jane wanted to have a session.

The will to live can be covered over, buried by fears and doubts, or even distorted out of all recognition, but it is still present. People pass unknowingly from states of excellent health into states of disease and back again—and it is always the will to live that successfully guides the body through such changes. Certain conditions that seem unhealthy are more often than not a part of the state of health. People look upon a fever with alarm, for example. Often they immediately take a drug to bring the fever down, when the fever was actually meant to burn out certain microbes that were indeed detrimental to the body’s overall excellent condition.

I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak, but know that I am present and approachable.

(I felt relief after the pendulum, and much more at ease through the afternoon. Now the itching has returned as I type this session, particularly on the lower legs. I’ll use the pendulum again, but may ask Seth to comment tomorrow if it persists. I really do dislike taking time away from Dreams in the morning.)
