“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The day was cool—39 degrees—when I left the house. For once it wasn’t raining. I picked up the mail at the box before I left—including a riotous letter from Saul Cohen, our editor at Prentice-Hall.

(Jane was doing well. She said she had something to show me after lunch. While she ate I read Saul’s letter, and began to laugh. It concerned his low opinion of Steve Blumenthal—to which he’s entitled, I suppose—but Saul himself made a number of inaccurate statements, so the situation appeared to me to be a standoff. After lunch Jane tried to read Saul’s letter, but couldn’t manage it.

I am delighted at Ruburt’s progress. I am speaking specifically of the improvements in both arms. The flesh is becoming far more responsive and pliable. This also means that the circulation has increased, and that both muscles and joints are more mobile and able to act in a more spontaneous manner. The hardness previously represented a kind of armor, which is now being shunted (spelled) aside. This will bring greater flexibility to the hands and fingers also, and will also be reflected in other portions of the body, including the legs and hips—a most fortuitous improvement indeed. It was ready to occur. On the other hand, it was also triggered by Ruburt’s suggestions, when he playfully (musically almost) imagined himself telling you of significant improvements, without wondering what they would be.

The entire body had been held within that kind of armor, and it is now being chipped away. The joints are becoming not only more flexible, but the fluid within the joints, which was “frozen” —

—which was “frozen” is being released, and in a manner of speaking, “melted.” I may or may not return, again, according to those rhythms of which I speak—but know that I am present, and approachable.

(3:46 PM. “Now I’ll see if I can do some exercises,” Jane said. “So I did that for a good part of the evening—massaged first the right arm, then the left one, after they started to improve.” My first thought had been that the softening in the arms would help relieve the doubled-up fingers of her right hand. The session, then, is one of the major ones, signaling an excellent prognosis for continued improvement. I told Jane, also, that yesterday she had referred to a looser feeling inside her left elbow, a greater softness, so Seth was right: these particular improvements had been in the works, yet triggered by Jane’s suggestions.

(4:00. I trimmed Jane’s fingernails—and discovered to my pleasant surprise that the job was much easier to do than it had been previously. I seemed to be done in a few minutes, whereas I’d hesitated to start it. The extra motion ability already present in Jane’s hands helped considerably, especially with the right hand.

(4:35. I turned Jane on her left side, then massaged her with Oil of Olay as usual. The supper tray hadn’t come. It still wasn’t there after my nap was over at 5:30, so I asked Cathy’s help in tracking it down. It still didn’t show up until 6:15, when Sharon Poley brought it in. This balled up our schedule, and made me late leaving Jane—at 7:30—but I see I managed to get the session done after a late supper anyhow. It’s 9:45 as I finish typing this. I said the prayer with Jane before leaving her for the night. She promised to call later if she could.)
