“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I’ve also developed the habit of repeating Seth’s quote from my own body, as he gave it in the deleted session for April 18: “You worry too much. [...]

[...] Again I grew very sore—after being fairly comfortable for the night—half awakened crying as different things happened that I’ve forgotten.... [...]

[...] We’ve been very tired, even exhausted; I’ve been sleeping in the afternoons with Jane. [...]

(I’ve reread the last session to Jane from my notes each morning since it was held. [...]

[...] “I’ve been so out of it the past week....”

(A note: I think Seth inserted his remark about the books being in so many homes because our mail has rather strikingly reminded us lately of that fact; we’ve been talking about it.)

(We’ve been talking about Frameworks 1 through 4 in recent days because of my notes for Mass Events. [...]

[...] “Your readers write asking for help with the idea that you’ve managed to solve certain challenges that they’re still struggling with....” [...]

(As for the food and vitamin material, I’ve become less and less insistent that Jane adhere to any kind of regular program, since I think she continues to show that she’s not really sold on such therapy. [...]

[...] I do think I’ve seen similar temporary changes in belief before, without the accompanying changes in the hands and knees. [...]

[...] Like me, he didn’t believe that Fred flew here from Denver—that is, talking a stewardess into giving him free transportation all that way—yet Fred got here somehow, and I explained that the manuscript of Fred’s that I’ve looked over contains descriptions of his landing in Pittsburgh, PA, and working his way east through a series of stops at restaurants, in which he’d add to his manuscript each time. [...]

(“I believe I’ve thought of that.”)

(This is more or less what I was getting, and told Rob, though I’ve probably forgotten some things. [...]

(We should consider such changes as a part of our working life, to provide refreshment; otherwise we just stew because we’re not “creative or working” or whatever....even furniture rearranging or changing whole rooms to different functions can be considered a vacation of a sort, and while I’ve always felt guilty at involving Rob in changing furniture—but do, anyhow. [...]

[...] I think there was quite a bit more that I’ve forgotten.)

(In the last three days I’ve learned a number of interesting things about my continuing physical upsets—and will list some of my pendulum material should any portion of this session refer to them. [...]

[...] We’ve had no correspondence with the Dutch publisher, Ankh-Hermes, about a publication date. [...]

[...] I’ve deleted a few portions of the session that don’t apply to disease and evolutionary experimentation. [...]

[...] I guess I’ve been brooding because I fell into that trap Seth talks about — of thinking that I’ve got to save the world….”

[...] We’ve heard of the theory before, by the way — but transmitting cancer in such a fashion seems to be one of the most deadly results that can follow from the union of a man and a woman. [...]

[...] Our questions change continually in a slow rhythm, we’ve noticed, constantly evolving into what we hope are more penetrating ones as we continue to learn. We’ve learned much, and Jane’s body seems to be initiating good responses.

(We’ve also talked over Seth’s answer in the last session about why the subconscious doesn’t back off when it’s obvious that it’s gone too far in a protective role, say. [...]

[...] I’ve felt that way for a long time now—that our understanding of what human beings really are is minute at best. Seth offers the greatest insights I’ve ever heard, and I’m more grateful for those than I can say. I think it’s very dangerous to take too hard a position on anything we think we’ve learned as a species, for I can’t imagine that in future millennia we’ll ever cling to very much of it. [...]

[...] I’ve made things for her before.² Recently she had been having trouble comfortably lifting her hands high enough to reach her typewriter as it sat upon either the oak table in her writing room, or upon her standard metal typing table. [...]

[...] “Rob and Seth started us on a new program and though we’ve hardly begun, I do feel some relieved more peaceful,” she typed in part on the morning of the 5th as she sat at her new low table, “yesterday i felt the place clicking about me. [...]

[...] As I’ve shown in various notes in the Seth books, through the art of her first love, poetry, Jane presents her beliefs with an amazingly simple clarity, combining her mystical innocence and knowledge with her literal-minded acceptance of physical life.

(Yesterday I found in the mail a letter from Steve Blumenthal, requesting copies of just about every record we’ve got, and so forth—no need to go into that here. [...]

(“I’ve decided to give up on the tape deal with Steve. [...]

(Before the session we discussed the one séance we’ve ever tried, and which is described in Chapter 3 of The Seth Material. [...]

[...] At the same time, I told Jane, we shouldn’t attach too much significance to this, since we’ve been sending out only Cézanne books—that is, anyone we send a book to gets one on art.

[...] All of this verifies what I’ve learned on my own, through the pendulum.”

(“No, I guess you’ve already answered the ones I had in mind.”)

(“I’ve wondered about this before: whether we should look for another publisher for your book.”)

(“We’ve been very concerned about the advertising angle.”)

(Here, unexpectedly, Seth referred to a large portrait I’ve been working on for the last month and the one that gave me so much trouble today. [...]

(As usual, Seth’s observations about painting are excellent; I’ve said this many times before. [...]

Afternoon: A strange moment suddenly comes; we’ve just finished lunch. [...]

Important Note: I’ve been following Seth’s instructions fairly well, not completely—and today got more good James on Faith: he mentions the extra-normal or super-normal power again. [...]

[...] I’ve been curious about that statement ever since, and mentioned it to Jane today in connection with my letter to Tam.

Then somehow our conversation led me to wonder whether our cat, Billy, is color-blind, as we’ve heard most animals are. [...]

[...] We’ve often speculated that just knowing Jane cared enough to send out an emissary like Helper was (and is) of psychological benefit to at least some of those in need, helping them generate positive actions on their own.
