“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I never really know what to do about such offers, and have answered several such lately. Then today I opened a package that contained a book of trance material similar to Seth’s. I guess I’m supposed to say thanks and that it’s great, to the publisher and the medium. Actually, I think those two people removed their material — which talks about All That Is — too far from its human source, its everyday contact with human personality, and thus produced just another psychic book. You could take six of those books, I thought, shuffle the names of the mediums around, and never know who produced what. I can only think the mediums involved must be afraid of the emotions and implications involved.

(Jane ate a good lunch. Then she told me to get the mirror, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil. When she looked into the mirror she smiled briefly, and showed her teeth — a lot better than yesterday, when we didn’t do it at all.

(It came to me that what bothers me about the kind of book I opened today is their limited viewpoint. As limited in its way as a book on geology or clothing or any of innumerable others. There’s no questioning mind at work, no new ideas or theories — merely the familiar rehash about All That Is, love, reincarnation, and so forth. Valid enough, perhaps, but lacking original insight and individuality like the Seth material has.

(I told Jane of my dream of the night before last, in which she and I and Leonard Yaudes — who had been our downstairs neighbor at 458 — moved into an apartment together at 458. In the dream the rooms were larger and better kept than they really are. I told Jane I suspected the dream grew out of my meeting Leonard at the new Super-Duper market the other night, when he’d joked around and repeated several times how good he felt physically, after his heart operation. Jane said she thought the dream meant that the three of us were all embarked on a journey into better health, a better outlook on life.

He feels more energetic, and of course wants to become much more active. (Long pause.) His food is doing him more and more good. He assimilates it far better, and this does allow the healing process to quicken. At the same time there is often that unevenness, as all portions of the body start up again, so to speak. The eyes today showed what I mean, as on occasion he could briefly read far better than he has so far, then seemingly go back to a previous level, and then back and forth between various stages.
