“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After lunch I read her the session for yesterday, after she’d been unable to read it with either pair of her glasses. Her eyes behaved the same way yesterday. I ended up asking Jane if she wanted to try free association after we’d talked a while, but got no definite answer.

(I asked Jane if she thought the sessions served as a balance to those sinful-self, very restrictive ideas — that when she gave up on the sessions that other self was free to exert its power and beliefs. She didn’t know, but I thought it a valid idea. I added that the whole bit put me on the spot, and always had, because I was never sure whether to insist that she have the sessions, or forget them. I’d always been cautious about asking her to keep holding them, for fear that they might come to dominate her life. It would be ironic indeed if it develops that the “truth” is more the other way around. It even appears to me right now, at least, that that more damaging avoidance of sessions has had a very negative impact.

(Jane said she felt “scared and panicky,” and that, I knew, was a good sign. I told her we’d touched something that needed dragging out into the open. Before I could try anything like free association, however, Jane said she had more to give.
