“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(When I gave Jane a cigarette after turning her on her back for the afternoon, she had another instance of reverting to an old, automatic habit. Since she’s been in the hospital she’s always handled cigarettes with her left hand, leaving her right hand lying unused across her belly. If she wants to reverse the ends of a smoke because one is looser than the other, which she often does with Pall Malls, she does so by awkwardly holding the cigarette with her lips while using her left hand to try to turn the cigarette around before I light it. Now today, Jane automatically used her right hand to help her left hand reverse the cigarette—and didn’t realize she’d done so until I pointed it out to her. Truly, the body remembers. It was another fine step along the way, I told her.

(4:45. Jane began some head and shoulder movements, and her left foot joined in. But she wanted to be turned, and I agreed. Maybe, we thought, we could get supper finished before Paul showed up, if we got started with it a little early. The tray came while I was massaging her with Oil of Olay.
