“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The day was colder — 28 degrees — when I left for 330. I’d worked on taxes for an hour this morning, and Dreams. No calls from anybody. I’d envisioned Jane getting back to her room around 11:00, after hydro, but when I got there she said she didn’t get back until almost noon. She’d just had her fresh bandages put on and been turned, before I arrived. She ate a good lunch, though, and seemed to be doing okay.

(2:45. I began working with mail, and Jane started reading yesterday’s session. She zipped right through it — doing the best she has in some little while — and finished at 2:55. Very good indeed.

The molecules, and even the smaller aspects of the body act and react, communicate, cooperate with each other, and share each other’s knowledge, so that one particle of the body knows what is happening in all other parts. Thus, the amazing organization usually works in a smooth, natural fashion. Many body events that you think of in your society as negative — certain viruses, for example — are instead meant as self-corrective devices, even as fever actually promotes health rather than impedes it.

(4:26.) The main characteristic of bodily consciousness is its spontaneity. (Long pause.) This allows it to work at an incredibly swift rate that could not be handled by the topmost conscious portions of the mind. Its operation is due to an almost instantaneous kind of consciousness, in which what is known is known, with no distance between, say, the knower and the known.

Both of your “negative” dreams express left-over doubts and fears, and the old concept that the poorest rather than the best outcome of any event will happen. The working of Ruburt’s eyes, and the continuous changes in his vision, give indications of the other kind of improvements, happening in the circulatory systems and other portions of the body. The eyes, knowing his intent now to read, read. Reason does not have to tell him how to do this.

(4:36 p.m. “It’s me,” Jane said. She had a cigarette before I turned her on her side. I massaged her toes as Seth had recently suggested, which got good results, then after I’d turned her, I gently worked her right leg back and forth as Seth had suggested. The knee of the broken leg actually works quite freely, I remarked — much more so than the left knee. Jane agreed. In fact, when she’s lying down, her left foot impedes the motion of her right foot and leg. But this will pass.
