“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I called Upjohn nursing service last Tuesday, noting that starting next Monday we’ll want a nurse at the house only three times a week instead of five. I’ll do the dressing-changes required for Jane’s decubiti the other days. The nurse, Peggy Jowett, has already been informed of the change in routine. Our idea is to soon cut down the visits to two a week, then one....

(“Are you open to questions tonight?” I asked as we sat at the card table waiting for the session. Jane didn’t know, though I didn’t think she was. I said that I wanted information on the present status and beliefs of her sinful self, for comparison with its earlier stances in life. This question has arisen because of my work on the intro for Dreams, of course, I have the feeling that it might be useful to get something on this so that I could use it to close the intro, but we’ll see. Actually, I regard the attitudes and beliefs of her sinful self as the key to Jane’s recovery, since better attitudes there will leave her free to automatically restore mobility, both physically and psychologically. Hopefully, this new synthesis is taking place now, and will accelerate as Jane responds. I’m of the opinion that her thyroid status is closely involved here.

(9:10.) Give us a moment.... There is no doubt that Ruburt was deeply shocked by some of the doctors’ pronouncements involving his walking—but already there are signs of loosening in the knees, and in the leg muscles as well. Do not force therapeutic motions. The box idea (propping up her legs while she’s prone on the bed) is an excellent one, but should be tried very gradually and easily at first, and then gradually expanded in time.

(9:22.) You are both provided for. All of the elements in your lives will now work to your overall advantage. Your natural health and creativity and motion will be expressed at all levels of your experience. Your intellect does not have to know the answers to all of your questions—but both of you use the last few suggestions I just gave you daily. The intellect feels the truth of such issues, even if it does not fully understand the inner reasons or technicalities involved. You can certainly expect more improvements in Ruburt’s condition at all of its levels. It is taking him time to build up reassurance again after the doctors’ pronouncements.

(9:30.) His situation itself will be different as he gains more energy and strength. And your own energy can also be revitalized. (Long pause.) I do not mean to appear unconcerned, either, Joseph, about your own inconvenience at such times, or the breaking of the sleep pattern. I am saying that the situation contains excellent creative opportunities that outweigh the lack of sleep or whatever thus far experienced.

Give us a moment.... You can lift your lives upward, therefore. You have the opportunity of taking great advantage with the use of the magical approach. (Long pause.) There is more material, and I will try to give it to you, for now, at several short sittings per week. I want it to be the best suited to your needs at any given time—but also, such a practice leaves the door open, for example, for the insertion of creative material.
