“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(When I got to 330 this afternoon Jane pointed out to me that she wore no dressing on her right elbow or the little toes of her left foot. I must admit I hadn’t noticed as I got her ready for lunch. But the skin of her elbow looked much improved, much more normal. This is the result of the changes I’d begun to notice when this group of sessions started on October 9—less than a month ago. Remarkable, I told her, and I sincerely hope it’s a sign of many more good things to come.

(Jane said her foot and ankle are sore, and bothered her during the night—the right one, that is—but that it feels okay at the moment. I thought it was from its recent moving, after such a long period of inactivity. The left foot and leg are okay.

(3:00. Jane began reading yesterday’s session. It wasn’t easy for her, but she kept at it as I worked on mail, and she finished at 3:20. She’d eaten a good lunch, once more. She said that her right foot kept wanting “to push out” from its doubled up position. “But I can’t do it yet,” she said, “so I’ll try to forget about it.”

(3:39. She began some exercises. Her left foot and leg went up in the air, the foot rotating quite freely. “When I do that, that’s when the right foot wants to, too, and that’s when it starts hurting. I felt her right leg; the whole thing was tense and hard, from close to the groin on down. I massaged it a bit until she told me to stop. I said I supposed the leg was tense so as to serve as a sort of splint for the broken bone near the knee.

(3:43. More head and left leg and foot motions—rather strong. “It’s safe. It’s all right,” Jane kept saying. At 3:50 Cathy came in, then Carol. Temperature—96.6. BP 112 over 60. Finally Jane told me to get out my paper and pen. Seth was around.)

Two small bedsores have healed—another mark of progress. There is no need to be concerned about the occasional discomfort in the right foot and leg. Those areas are awakening, and the new unaccustomed motions are the cause of the discomfort—a discomfort which will vanish in no time as the body continues its improvements. All of the body is being activated—and again, improvements are occurring also that have not yet showed themselves but will soon be doing so.

(I tried to explain to Jane that fear on conscious levels was what was holding her back. That Seth was right: The body was perfectly willing to move, and knew how to do so, if it was allowed to do so. “Maybe it was my ulcers that kept me from moving all that time,” she said.

(4:17. Now Jane launched into a series of more general motions, with many noises, groanings and gruntings. Head, shoulders, arms and legs. She said her head rotated on her neck in a new way. The left ankle clearly showed additional flexibility. “When that left foot starts to move it feels like its going to fly right off,” Jane said. “It feels so free.”

(4:20. More general motions, head and torso. Left arm, then right, swinging back and forth. Groans and grunts. Rest.
