“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Margaret Bumbalo and Debbie visited Jane last night; she also called me around 8:30. Jane had to have her catheter changed again, at about midnight, after attempts at irrigating it failed. She was doing well when I got there at 1:05 this afternoon, though. The temperature was 4l degrees, and dry for a change.

(I told Jane about the very excellent dream I’d had about her last night—in which I’d seen her fully recovered—walking, her hair black again, shopping, going out, meeting friends who exclaimed over her great progress. I too was most pleased for her, and wanted to show her off to everyone. It was the type of dream where one returns to it several times.

My main point was that by displacing the cause of their troubles outside themselves, the patient freed himself or herself of guilt and responsibility for their own welfare.

Ruburt’s eyes continue to show their improvements, and those improvements mirror other inner ones that still have to physically manifest themselves.
