“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane described a dream she’d had last night, a very positive one, she thought, in which she’d looked at her face in a mirror for the first time in a long while. She saw her features with their old familiar contours, was pleased, and thought that with a little makeup she’d look fine. “I don’t have the guts to really look at my face yet,” she said now. “The last time I did—some months ago—I thought I looked terrible, with a double chin and my face bloated all out of shape....” I told her her face wasn’t bloated out of shape, that it looked much better, and that she appeared to have a double chin because of her position in bed. Perhaps she half believed me. It was approaching time for people to start coming in to check her vitals when she said she’d try for a short session. She was on her back, of course; her Seth voice was okay, good but not too loud.)

[...] In the second effect, Jane said she felt a distinct trembling in her chin as it was lowered against her chest, but Peg and I hadn’t observed this. Jane likened it to perhaps the trembling of an old man’s chin, and this is in character with the old man’s voice we heard. [...]

[...] Her head dropped, chin to her chest, eyes closed. [...]

(Bill’s drawings of Seth show an extremely high cranium—according to Seth Bill’s graphic translation of Bill’s feeling of high intelligence on Seth’s part—and a pointed chin. While pointed the chin is not long. Jane said, this evening, that her subjective feeling was one of elongation of the chin, to a point. [...]

[...] She also had new feelings of change in her throat, up under her chin. [...]

[...] The chin small but pointed.(Jane touched her own chin.)

This is of the man with the odd chin. [...]

[...] The chin is a subterfuge, for it appears weak.

(“And that’s another sign,” I said, as she scratched her chin on the right side with that same left hand. [...]

[...] Yet really the idea’s right here,” she said, nodding toward her cupped hands, which she held just below her chin.

[...] I could only say that for the last few paragraphs the set of her mouth and chin had seemed to me to be somehow different, older, not quite like the set I am used to. [...]

[...] Her features had a different cast also, especially around the mouth; the lips were compressed and stiff, the chin knotted, the brow furrowed. [...]

[...] Again her eyes closed, again her hand went to her chin, and again she used frequent and sometimes long pauses. [...]

Now, to prove to you that I am a good and hearty fellow and that I do not always wear a long disastrous face with a chin upon the floor, I will leave you and let you partake of your social discourse. [...]

(Winslow has an Andy Gump chin and a long nose which is quite prominent. [...]

[...] He had brown hair combed straight back, almost a double chin, a sharp nose and high forehead, and in his right hand he held a microphone; he was talking into it, giving a lecture on something to do with weights. [...]

(Generalized body changes since the last session Saturday night: More loosening in neck, ligaments, chin and face area; walking is easier but still requires support – legs tremble and have trouble supporting weight, but knees move better. [...]

[...] She would catch her lower lip between her teeth, fold her upper lip over the lower, and wrinkle up her chin in a peculiar way. [...]

Finally, I just pulled the bedcovers up to my chin and sat there, staring back at them. [...]

The chin is shaped somewhat differently than the second sketch. [...]
