“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the dream, all of which was in brilliant color, I’d combined many elements, which I described in more detail to Jane than I’ll give here. First, we’d moved back to 458 W. Water — which I seem to do several times a week — and looking out my old studio windows, I saw my father cutting hair like a barber out in the driveway in front of the garage. I invited him to come up and take over the studio for a barbershop. Laughing, looking younger than his years, he did so. Then I was working for Jake Ruppenthal, my old boss at Artistic Card Company, when he was art director. I had left Artistic in 1972, to concentrate upon helping Jane with the Seth material. In the dream I was drawing foot-high oval letters in black ink, but was worried about doing a good job because my hand was shaky. Then I realized I could cut out the letters from cardboard or some such, and ink them in that way. Next, Jake and I were walking down a street in a town, on our way to see Jane’s mother. Midway in the trip Jake left me, saying I could go on alone from there.

(3:00. Jane began reading yesterday’s session, which I think is an excellent one, but she didn’t do well at all. She quit for a smoke at 3:12 while I worked on mail. She tried again at 3:20, doing just a little better. I kept thinking about the session, listening to Jane try to read it as I looked over mail. Finally at 3:29 I read the rest of the session to her.

(“I’d like to go over that first sentence of the Bantam material — I’ve made a mistake, or something’s wrong somewhere.”

(4:32 p.m. I told Jane that I didn’t know whether or not I’d get involved in a controversy over the Bantam cover. I didn’t even want to spend time thinking about it, especially in light of yesterday’s session.

(I cite the verbatim transcript involving Seth correcting the sentence he’d given, because as far as I can remember, that’s the first time it’s ever happened. A pretty fair record over the years, Jane. Sleep well. I love you.)
