“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was okay, although as I got to 330, three nurses were trying to insert a new catheter. Jane had had spasms. The nurses had some difficulty, and we were late eating lunch. Afterward we played the tape of the psychic reading a friend had sent us last September. The tape was a copy, and the quality terrible — so bad we couldn’t understand it all. I marveled that a scientist would send out a product like that.

(Some of the material from the tape is good, other parts not good — some right, some wrong, as might be expected. He said Jane could die, but obviously she didn’t. He was correct in mentioning anemia, incorrect about liver and spleen problems, as far as we know. The problem with such readings is their generalizations. One can always cite energy blockages, and probably be correct, but this says little. Most of us have energy blockages of some sort. Also, one not only has to penetrate the reality of the person being read, but that of the medium doing the reading. The reading offered no specific insights into the causes behind Jane’s troubles, although this would be difficult in such a short time span.

3. When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma. Do not wonder how or why or when the ideal solution will come, but see it in your mind’s eye as accomplished. Or if you are not particularly good at visual imagery, then try to get the feeling of thanksgiving and joy that you would feel if the problem was solved to your complete satisfaction.

(4:43 p.m. I read the session to her. It certainly would be a mistake to let book material go, for any reason. It would provide variety and a sense of accomplishment aside from any other more personal material Seth may give. The free association approach Seth suggests will be something different for us to try. I’ll let an approach to handling the material work itself out.

(Jane called early — before 9:00 p.m., as I was getting ready to type this session. An insight concerning my questions about the role of diseases came to me after supper, before I began typing this session, and I want to note it for possible future discussion. Regarding my visit with Joe Bumbalo this morning: He has cancer. I found myself thinking about the cancer being a new, explosive growth within a body that was aging. That growth was fated to bring about not only the death of its host, but the cancer itself. So what was it doing, behaving in such a fashion? Was Joe Bumbalo giving birth to a new life form that upon death would be released to continue its growth elsewhere, just as we believe Joe will do after his death?)
