“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane kept complaining that her right middle ribs were bothering her this afternoon—so much so that I finally wedged a sponge under her rib cage. This seemed to help a lot. She thought the discomfort stemmed from a bandage on one of her decubiti in that region. I found out differently when I turned her on her left side after the session: For it turned out that she’d been lying upon a roll of tape that someone—Georgia or Phyllis, probably—had left lying on the bed when they changed her dressings this morning. I hadn’t noticed it when I turned Jane on her back at 1:10, for I always did this from the other side of the bed. A reddish welt had risen on Jane’s back as a result of the prolonged pressure, but she began to feel better immediately I discovered what had happened.

The entire area, however, began to release with a large mass breakup after the soreness in Ruburt’s ribs, for the ribs “expanded,” relieving pressure on that arm. [...]

Now you remember his ribs hurt him for ten days or so, and that then that discomfort largely vanished. [...]

[...] Jane has been extremely sore in her arms, shoulders, rib cage, and so forth today, yet she was able to stand taller, by leaning against the bathroom door frame, than I’d seen her do in a very long time. [...]

[...] Muscles in the stomach and the ribs themselves are involved (as Jane has noticed).

The weekend brought new activity in that neck area, bringing discomfort, but also new releases to the shoulders and the rib portions, loosening the stomach muscles. [...]

[...] It hadn’t sounded like him—only her, speaking somewhat haltingly and not too clearly as she lay flat on her back in the hospital mud bed, with her broken right arm held snugly against her ribs and chest by the blue and white canvas sling. [...]

[...] And following those two connections, I speculated with Jane about a third: my hurting the lower left ribs about a week ago during the visit of Tom D’Orio and friends. Frank Longwell told me I’d strained the ligaments helping to support the ribs, and that “they don’t like that.” [...]

(The pendulum told me I hurt the rib cage over my frustration at the visit of Tom and friends, although I wasn’t conscious of any such feelings. [...]

Lift up his rib cage area (gesture,) so that he gets the idea of that up and down easy motion. [...]

(For the last several days Jane’s arms, shoulders, hands, rib cage, and related parts have bothered her tremendously—more so than ever. [...]

[...] I have largely explained this before, but the position of the arms, trunk, neck, jaw, head, and ribs were all related. [...]

[...] The idea of the trouble you gave yourself with the rib was connected with the guys coming to work here, to give you an excuse to do your thing and be isolated so they wouldn’t ask you to help, or strain yourself physically because you were already hurt. [...]

(I told Jane that the other day the pendulum had told me I hurt the rib as self-punishment because of my resentment of the visit of Tom D’Orio and friends. [...]

He will do all right, even if I do rib him now and then.

[...] In a flash I’d been prepared for Margaret to use all force necessary, even to the point of one or more broken ribs, as I’d read could happen. [...]

[...] This was a healthy physical reaction, therefore, as a sneeze might be, or a cough—particularly involving the lungs and ribs.

[...] Your specific questions, however, also serve to give necessary ribs to the delivery of the material, so that many aspects are covered, and details not ignored. [...]

[...] Your different ways of working are obvious in your other creative endeavors, and your own questions and appliance to detail are highly important in your notes to our books, serving as important ribs, again.

[...] Their meat was ribs, they had mutton ribs, I think. [...]

[...] The turning around of the bed will alleviate a soreness of his ribs on the left side.

[...] In connection with the bed data, Jane has been mentioning for some time now that she has a vague soreness of the ribs on her left side.)

[...] Jane reports a continuing series of physical changes throughout her body—from the legs and ankles to the shoulder blades, elbows, ribs, etc. [...]

The soreness lately at night will pass, but as he sleeps this week the shoulder blades and rib cage and neck area have all been stretching. [...]

(9:28.) Now: Ruburt’s ribs and shoulder blades have bothered him simply because they are being stretched in new ways. [...]

The entire rib area is stretching because of his exercises and walking. [...]

[...] The woman being created from his rib symbolized the necessary emergence, even from the new creature, of the intuitive forces that will always come forth — for without that development the race would not have attained self-consciousness in your terms.

[...] That activity is carried downward through the body, gently changing the rib area, shoulders, arms and hands. [...]
