“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Then another interesting little event—another sign—took place as I was preparing to leave room 330 tonight at 7:00 PM. Jane cried out and said she had a sudden sharp pain in the instep of her left foot, and that right after that she felt the foot move “sideways” in a way it hadn’t done for a long, long time. Instinctively I reached out to touch the foot as she explained what had happened to me, and she cried out even louder. But I could see the foot moving, seemingly all by itself. I was delighted, and so was she. It seems to be a sign that the bodily changes reach all the way down the legs to the toes. Trust the body, I thought to myself as I drove home: It knows what it’s doing, and how to do it, without any help from “us.”

(As with Jane’s right elbow, after the foot moved I thought the skin coloration around the ankle and instep looked better, more normal, like skin. Before the foot [like the right one] had looked immobile and wooden, the skin stretched taut and dry and splotchy; there wasn’t any flexion in the toes, say. When I stroked her feet today Jane said it had felt “like pins and needles.”

[...] She’s uncomfortable on her back, especially in her right foot, which is still moving, more than yesterday, and is still painful for me to touch on the instep. [...]

[...] She wore short white socks and shiny black patent-leather shoes with a single strap across the instep. [...]
