“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I left work in the writing room at about 8:45 to see how Jane was doing at the card table in the living room. I’d heard her talking to herself, presumably while dreaming in her chair. She had been sleeping, I discovered. I felt guilty at leaving her alone while I worked on the preface notes for Dreams after supper. We’d had interruptions today—the plumber had had to return to again clean out the sewer line, Jane’s nurse had been here, Peg Gallagher had called, I’d taken time to write Nancy Overton a letter, and so forth.

(Last night, for perhaps only the second or third time since coming home from the hospital last March, Jane slept through the night, as I did: although I woke up several times to check on her, feeling uneasy that I wasn’t putting her on the commode, etc. In addition, she slept on her left side practically the whole time—very welcome news. This is the kind of change in position she needs in order to encourage healing of her decubiti.

(Now Jane said she’d forgotten to tell me—but today she’d definitely felt a couple of times that she’d been psychically in touch with Sheri and the people in England. Very encouraging news. So, I think, are the results, re the vitamin therapy and our own efforts—the peanut oil massages and the cod liver oil, and so forth.

(As far as the Sayre moving idea goes, I told Jane, I didn’t know what to think or say. The idea of uprooting our entire lives at this time seems far out—especially, I told her, when she couldn’t even go with me to look at houses. If in a couple of months, say, she is able to accompany me to look at houses, I’ll be delighted. As it is, I don’t understand how I’m to get any work done, help Jane, handle business affairs, change even my driver’s license, and move all at the same time. This, all after we’ve found a suitable place and have sold our house in Elmira on 1730 Pinnacle Road.

(I added that a great attraction here in recent years has been my ever-growing appreciation of the glimpses I get of the wildlife in the area, from the deer to the geese, rabbits, chipmunks, ‘coons, dogs, cats and what-have-you. At the same time, I appreciate the value of a potential change.)
