“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I also told Jane that in a batch of fan mail that had been temporarily lost, I found a note from my dentist’s secretary and nurse, Babs, changing the date of my appointment from Feb. 13 to the 23rd. I’d sat alone in the office yesterday, the date of my original appointment, with no one ever showing up. I wrote the dentist a note and left it on his desk.

(I do have a thing going with dentists. I told Jane that if she’d had her regular session yesterday in 330, so that I was busy typing it last night, I wouldn’t have found Babs’s note, because I wouldn’t have had the extra time after supper to go through fan mail, clean out the paper bag I carry to the hospital each day, and so on. So, why did she not have a session yesterday, the day of my dental appointment? It’s the first one Jane has missed in weeks, literally.

(Since she had no session from yesterday to read, Jane tried to read the session for February 1 — the one that led to her Day 1, 2, 3 program. She couldn’t manage it, though, so I read it to her: “Health is simplicity itself.” An excellent session. Then I read her the session for February 5 — equally good. They helped her. Jane seldom asks to read past sessions — behavior that is still protective, I think, and has been for many years. This, even though Seth has lately again suggested she reread certain material. To me this situation has always been a clear demonstration that one part of herself is still in opposition to another part, and that the fearful self is still dominant though perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree these days, for we have made progress.
