“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane tried using the pendulum I carry in my wallet; this followed from our discussions about my using the pendulum of late. Since I’ve been achieving considerable relief with my gum challenges the last few days, Jane has become increasingly interested. She’s also somewhat intimidated, saying that I get better results than she does — whereas I think her own attitude gets in her way and that comparisons shouldn’t be made. We also had trouble with it today because, it being her birthday, several extra interruptions took place as various staff members came in to sing to us, and so forth. They brought cards and foil toys. I gave Jane a card and candy, and brought in forsythia, which moved her to tears. The yellow-flowered shrubs grow in the front yard of the hill house.

(Because of the interruptions by staff, Jane didn’t stay long with the pendulum. She said she also felt that she should cover up her use of the pendulum, that “people will really think I’m nuts.” I said that the truth of the matter is that no one paid the slightest attention to the pendulum lying on her belly, nor even understood what she was doing. I added that she had to be true to herself, that her troubles came from her not being so, and that if she wanted to use the pendulum then she should do so.

(It was getting late when Jane said she felt Seth around after all. We had one interruption right after she started: A young girl delivered a bowl of flowers from Steve and Tracy Blumenthal. Jane lay quietly in trance while I took the gift from the girl and set it on the stand beside my chair.)
