“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A hard, refreshing spring rain, with thunder and lightning, was drumming against the house as we sat for the session. [...] As I’ve told Jane several times lately, the renewing rain reminded me once again of the wonders of nature, and I thought once again of living a natural life outdoors in the environment of woods and elements, summer and winter. [...]

[...] The body is affected by touch in the same way as a field by the wind, the sun and the rain. [...]

Concentrate upon the idea of your body being a field awakened by the wind and the rain—awakened into sensation—not necessarily passive, then, but in a strange condition between alertness and passivity.

(There were welcome similarities between our sighting of today and that of last March: Again, the weather was very warm for this time of year; again, a fine rain was falling. [...] The geese came in low over the river half a block away, flying beneath the clouds and in the rain — a great wide “V” of them, heading north.

[...] It rained again last night and this morning.)

(It was raining, and just above freezing. [...]

[...] Now it is raining slightly. [...]

3. In Dialogues, her book of poetry, Jane explored several other “key” episodes in her psychic development; see her Preface, then these selections in Part Two: “The Paper and Trips Through an Inner Garden,” and “Single-Double Worlds, the Rain Creature, and the Light.” She also wrote about those transcendent experiences in Adventures; see Chapter 9 for her “paper” perceptions (in March 1972), and Chapter 15 for her encounters with the rain creature and the light (in February 1973). Both Jane and Seth had things to say about the rain creature and the light in Personal Reality; see the 639th session for Chapter 10.

Just before dusk, a fine rain began to fall. [...] The rain didn’t bother the birds at all: a pair of cardinals, several red-winged blackbirds, some phoebes, various warblers, and a group of mourning doves. [...]

[...] You may at times wish that a rainy day were a sunny one, but you do not stand at the window and deny that the rain is falling, or that the air is cold and the sky dark.

Because you accept the rain as a present reality does not mean, either, that you must believe that all days are stormy, and make that obvious misconception a part of your beliefs about reality. [...]

(It was raining gently by the time I got to the hospital. [...]

[...] At least some rain had fallen last night. [...]

[...] It was also rainy, and rained heavily later in the afternoon. [...]

[...] Earlier she’d sat at her desk in the writing room, watching the rain as dusk, then night, fell. [...]

[...] It was raining heavily, just as it had done periodically yesterday afternoon. [...]

(To Laurie.) Now what Ruburt said to you I would like to reinforce ten times: It is like a woman in the rain who carries an umbrella, and instead of using it, she says, “Well, it is raining too hard. [...]

[...] It had been raining all day, and still was.)

(The list represented numerous small things we had needed for some days, but Jane had been prevented from picking them up because of steady rain while I was at work. [...]

[...] She had intended doing them Monday but had been stopped from doing so by a heavy rain. [...]

[...] For a change it wasn’t raining. [...]

Understanding this however will let Ruburt take some countering measures, as he did today by thinking of how cozy it was inside to work, and how comforting the rain sounded.

[...] It was raining heavily when I left the house.
