“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As noted in the private session for May 22, I brought Jane home from her overnight stay at St. Joseph’s hospital the day before. Of course we had no idea of what all those tests would cost, and weren’t billed when she was discharged, since test results weren’t in. A few nights later, evidently after I’d been wondering how much the bill would be I had a dream in color, in which I was informed of the amount of the bill —$800-odd dollars. I saw the figure on a sheet of bluish paper that unfolded like a letter. I was shocked—so much so that I woke up after the brief little dream, for my best guess had been that the bill would be between $400 and $500. I told myself that the figure I’d been given in the dream was much too high.

(Today [on June 3] the bill from the hospital arrived—for $812.00. Instantly I remembered the dream, while being appalled at the size of the bill. The dream had given me “true information,” then—a forewarning, if one wants to take it that way. I suppose I heeded it on some levels, certainly, for I wasn’t all that shocked after all, once the initial surprise had passed. I explained the situation to Jane, for the record, and add these notes. The bill was printed on blue and white paper and unfolded as in my dream also.

(I had to go food shopping this afternoon, and while I was out Kenneth Wrigley called from Dr. Sonsire’s office. He asked about Jane’s condition, and said that in a month or so the ulcer on Jane’s coccyx might have to be surgically closed if it didn’t do so on its own. The last thing we needed to hear. Jane didn’t appear to be upset by the call, though—perhaps because of what we’d learned about medical methods by now. The cost of that little operation would also probably be astronomical—well over a thousand dollars, I’d say at a guess, so in light of the present bill from St. Joseph’s I doubt if we’d opt for it anyhow. We plan to make some comments on costs when next we see Dr. K., or whomever, anyhow, now that we’ve been burned a few times.

Now: we will call this a very brief Seth visit—for which there is no charge (with much humor, referring no doubt to the bill from St. Joseph’s).

I am aware of these lapses. They have to do with the utilization of energy. They rather come in patterns, and usually (underlined) signify that the body is ready for some additional thyroid medication in that framework you have set up for it. (Long pause.) It also allows for a certain necessary relaxation, however. For now, some return to the vitamins will be helpful, because of Ruburt’s beliefs—but helpful nevertheless. The ones advertised to combat stress in particular can at this time act as certain cushions. Ruburt should make an effort to follow through on whatever suggestions I give, for they are meant to facilitate his good spirits and recovery. He is recovering. Now we bid you a fond good evening —but remember those suggestions I mentioned earlier, for Ruburt can really utilize them now. End of visit—no bill need be expected (with more humor).
