“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It was painful for Jane to be turned today. I turned her on her back after stopping at Medical Records first to see Janet Troutt about the copy of Jane’s records that I’d been promised. However, the copies were so poor—and lacking lab reports—that Janet said she’d have them redone; now I’m to stop in a couple of days from now—which means the records don’t go to the insurance company before then, either.

(Jane had her catheter changed, though she was still getting spasms when I got there, and these continued throughout the afternoon. Jane couldn’t stand for me to rub her left leg after I turned her, because of the strong “pins and needles” feelings the massaging generates in the leg. She had good movement in her arms and shoulders, meaning that she’s preserving the freedoms in those areas. She said that generally she has felt some overall general improvements, but especially in the arms and hands.

(3:48. Sharon Poley walked in to take Jane’s temperature [98 degrees]; she came in without knocking while Jane was speaking for Seth in a voice deeper and stronger than her regular voice. Jane spoke Seth’s last few words while Sharon was at the foot of the bed, then broke off as soon as she saw Sharon. Sharon didn’t give any sign that she noticed or heard anything unusual—and looking at Jane, one couldn’t tell that she was in trance.

(After Sharon had left. I asked Jane how she knew, as Seth, that Sharon was there. “I don’t know,” Jane said. “I just saw her. I think she might have noticed something, though it’s no big deal.”

(There hadn’t been that much to notice, I said. Jane’s voice could be attributed to her obviously dictating something to me, which everybody around knew she did each day. When I told Jane I didn’t think she’d answered my question, she said she saw Sharon as Seth, not being that far under, and that the reason for that was that “I think you sort of guard yourself in a place like this. It would have been different at the house.”

(4:04. Jane had done well. I lit a smoke for her. Her right foot was flexing as the left one had been earlier. She said she was beginning to sense a rhythm to the sessions in the afternoon. She also remarked that if I was present in the evening she could do more....

(Then at 4:14 she began rotating her arms and hands faster than ever—the best yet—it was obvious that her elbows were loosening up even more. She could reach further down toward her thighs. Then her feet began to move in rhythm—”Just like I’m on a bicycle,” she said. Now there was a lot of movement in the feet and ankles. “It looks like the legs and feet are trying to do the same things the hands and arms are doing,” I said. “They’ve got to start somewhere.”

(4:18. I opened a window a bit, since the room was getting stuffy. The air conditioner has been off. Resume at 4:20.)

(4:23 PM. Jane grunted in discomfort, for now the smaller toes on her feet began to move a little —with the big toes—in a way I hadn’t seen them do before. Another first. Another sign, I told her. I was delighted with the way she kept her new motions once they’d shown themselves. I still feel hope and enthusiasm.)
