“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I lit a cigarette for Jane. A note about the bedsore suggestions given by our nurse, Peggy J: Last Wednesday afternoon during her regular visit Peggy told us she’d talked to her boss, Roe—also a nurse—and that Friday Roe would meet her here to look at Jane’s bedsores. Peggy talked about being relieved of the “responsibility” for the bedsores, which obviously worried her. I’d told Jane to use suggestion so that she wouldn’t be bothered by whatever Roe might say, but suspected that Roe would want Dr. Kardon to examine the bedsores, and probably this would lead to a demand that Jane would go back into the hospital. [I didn’t tell Jane the hospital part of my suspicions, though.]

(On her regular Friday-afternoon visit, Peggy and Jane and I waited for Roe, who was scheduled to visit—but Roe, mysteriously, never showed up. Could she have picked up some sort of message from Jane and me? We don’t know. When Peggy came on Monday afternoon. Roe didn’t show up either, and Peggy didn’t mention it, nor did Peggy dwell on Jane’s bedsores. In some strange way it was as if the whole episode, with its obviously negative implications, never had even been mentioned. I didn’t ask Seth to comment, but should have.

(8:56 PM. “Well, you got something,” I said to Jane, almost laughing. “Had quite a time there, didn’t you?” It was amazing, how much better I felt now than when I’d written the notes for yesterday’s session [Sunday, the 7th]. “Anything you want to add?”
