“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane ate a good lunch, then at 3:05 began reading the session from yesterday. She did fairly well, though not as good as yesterday, and finally got through the six pages at 3:34. She held the pages okay in her left hand, though. She said her ability to perceive had varied considerably, and that she’d had to strain to read. I’d seen that her eyes were very red when I gave her drops.

(I typed yesterday’s session this morning, and didn’t get to work on Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment until after 10:30. I also made arrangements to get our taxes for 1983 done. It worked out well, but I lost time — and when I got to room 330 this afternoon, my legs were itching again. I told Jane.

(Jane said she had a long wait for hydro this morning. She’s been having a lot of spasms, and fears the catheter was loosened enough yesterday that she’ll have to have it changed tonight. She saw her doctor briefly in hydro.

For a few days — at least when possible — read Ruburt those portions of yesterday’s session that were devoted to his condition.

(I should add that yesterday and today have been very cold in our area, though today is a bit warmer than yesterday and the night before when the temperature was around zero degrees, I believe. [...]

(Even now, I was sure that yesterday’s session had helped me moderate my own reactions to the latest events—and that was good, I told Jane. [...]

[...] Talked to her on the phone the other day about the interview with Jane yesterday. [...]

[...] I gave Jane yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] He didn’t advocate doing anything like an operation, and his advice was consistent with Seth’s material yesterday. [...]

(Jane said my parting words yesterday, that she shouldn’t worry, that the leg will work itself out fine, cheered her quite a bit. [...]

(At 3:15 she tried to read yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] At 4:13 Jane resumed with material she’d told me yesterday that Seth planned to cover today.)

[...] By 3:00 she began reading yesterday’s session, doing fairly okay with pauses. [...] I told her that yesterday I got a box of 64 letters from our publisher, Prentice-Hall.

(Jane’s Seth voice was good, as it had been yesterday. The heater in 330 was working again, for some mysterious reason, since Jane said no one had been in to check it today, and yesterday the fellow hadn’t been able to get it going. [...]

[...] I shoveled quite a bit of snow in the driveway last night after I finished typing yesterday’s session, and for the first time in a long while felt the old panic return. [...]

[...] I said I’d forgotten to ask Seth to comment on my feelings about parenthood these days, especially as I’d felt them yesterday when looking at the photos of the aide Sue’s children. [...]

[...] She did say her panicky feelings had to do with the session about her mother Marie yesterday, and a dream she’d had last night. [...] “Read me — read me yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] It was raining heavily, just as it had done periodically yesterday afternoon. [...] Carla had said last night when she called that Jane was still doing the motions she’d begun yesterday. [...]

[...] She didn’t want to hear my notes for the session, or the poem she’d dictated yesterday. [...]

[...] I told her it was important that I read her my notes for yesterday’s session, especially those pertaining to her mother. [...]

I will make the remarks concerning yesterday first. Ruburt was in poor shape yesterday. [...]

Dare I make a few comments about yesterday and today?

I want Ruburt to discuss those feelings with you also of yesterday. [...]

[...] We discussed the events of yesterday, and the fact that my mother is due to return to Sayre on Sunday, December 26. [...]

[...] After lunch Jane began to read yesterday’s session, and did quite well. [...]

[...] I remind you also to read the session of the day before yesterday whenever possible.

(4:21 p.m. Jane told me that yesterday Mary Jean, who had changed her dressings, had remarked upon how well the remaining bedsores are healing.

(She didn’t read over the session from the day before yesterday. [...]

[...] I should note here, first, a question I’d asked her yesterday, concerning a line of Seth’s that I’d typed up yesterday in Session 889 for Dreams. [...] I’d made a note of it, and asked that Seth comment if we had a session yesterday: “Units of consciousness also form other kinds of matter that you do not perceive.” [...]

(No session was held yesterday. [...]

[...] Jane began reading again the session for the day before yesterday, and did pretty well to start. [...]

(No session was held yesterday. [...] I would like to summarize yesterday’s events, though, because they contain some extremely important points that we don’t want to lose track of. [...]

[...] After having a cigarette after lunch, Jane started reading the session for November 20, since I hadn’t typed up any notes yet for yesterday’s events. She was disappointed at this, since she knew yesterday’s events had been significant, and she wanted to read about them. [...]

(After a good lunch—which Georgia had started feeding her in my absence—Jane said that in hydro yesterday morning, on the litter, both arms “did better than they ever have in the water. [...]

(3:40—3:48 yesterday: staff took Jane’s vitals, and a lady from housekeeping changed the curtains in 330 to much heavier and darker ones, trying to cut down the light that bothers Jane’s eyes even when the curtains are closed. [...]

(I haven’t typed yesterday’s session, on Sasquatch. [...]

(Yesterday’s session was mainly on the Sasquatch phenomenon, triggered I imagine by the program In Search Of, and I’ll probably take time off from Dreams one morning to get it done. [...]

(I did remind Jane that in yesterday’s session Seth hadn’t addressed the question I’d mentioned to her at lunch time — why were we such extremists in our behavior, considering the severity of the symptoms, and so forth? [...]

[...] I told her that Seth didn’t go into our questions about his material in yesterday’s session, concerning changing the past from the present, nor did he comment on Carol Steiner’s Ph.D. thesis on the Seth material. [...]

(After a good lunch Jane tried to read yesterday’s session. [...] Then as soon as she’d finished yesterday’s session, she told me to get my pad ready. [...]

[...] She’d mentioned her “cancel” method to me yesterday, and it had sounded okay then. [...]

(She’d done few movements yesterday, but today she seemed to make up for it. [...]

(Now I told her that re Seth’s session for me yesterday, I’d tried using his suggestions when I went to bed, and that they worked well, in that I stopped worrying about Jane. [...]

(The temperature today was half that of yesterday—about 32 degrees—when I got to 330. [...]

(Jane had called me last night, saying that the issue of transferal hadn’t been settled after all, in spite of what Georgia had told us yesterday afternoon. [...]

[...] She began reading aloud yesterday’s six-page session while I worked with mail. [...]

[...] Right leg started to open up as it had yesterday. [...]

(Jane tried to read yesterday’s session, but couldn’t do it very well, so she laid it aside for a smoke. [...] I read her yesterday’s session.

(There was some water in the cellar last night from the steady downpour of yesterday. [...]

(After her lunch I read to Jane the same two sessions I’d read her yesterday — for February 1 and 5. I told her that my question for Seth is, why did the fever business start after her initiation of Day 1 of her new program? [...]

[...] Yesterday we’d received our copies of the Bantam paperback issue of The Nature of the Psyche, and I’d brought a book in to show Jane. [...] I wanted a word from Seth on what our reactions should, or could, be, in light of yesterday’s session about living in the moment.

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, which I think is an excellent one, but she didn’t do well at all. [...]

Yesterday’s session should be read two or three times a week for now.

[...] I didn’t even want to spend time thinking about it, especially in light of yesterday’s session.

(Like the last deleted session, this one is Jane’s own dictation, not Seth’s. She’d mentioned doing some yesterday, but it hadn’t worked out. [...] Something on Rich Bed, or just generally about those feelings I had yesterday after reading your introduction for Dreams....” [...] I didn’t advise that, for yesterday morning she’d ended up very depressed after pursuing it right after breakfast. [...]

[...] I was going to record some memories that suddenly came to me yesterday morning. [...]

(I also said that I thought today’s material was the result of Jane’s reading that intro after breakfast yesterday, which had triggered her day-long black mood of despair. [...]

[...] In the mail for yesterday I found the new cover design for the trade paper edition of The God of Jane — a nice-looking job, we like it. [...] I wondered if any of these events — or all of them — were tied in with the feeling of anticipation I’d been quite conscious of yesterday afternoon at 330. [...]

(I might add that yesterday I opened a letter from the BBC — the British Broadcasting Corporation — that was dated in January. [...]

[...] So far, then, events have fallen into line with Seth’s material yesterday—about the probable lack of a lawsuit, an early resolving of the insurance question, and with Jane’s own feelings about same, at the end of yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] I gave him the names and phone number of Kathy Hagen, the Blue Cross supervisor who had seemingly turned down our major medical claim, and read to him the statement as to why that Andrew Fife had given me yesterday afternoon. [...]

[...] I’d thought A. Fife mistaken yesterday, but he’d repeated the same thing to Pete, and gave him file and form numbers. [...]

(Jane ate a good lunch and began reading yesterday’s session at 3:00. [...]

(I meant to note with yesterday’s session that on Friday I received from Blue Cross four notices of claim denial—for April—July, August and September. [...]

[...] I warmed up the car first, as I’d done yesterday. [...]

[...] At 4:01 she began reading yesterday’s session. [...]

[...] And I will be glad to add to my comment (in the last session) of yesterday, concerning the ancient roots of the holiday season, if you will remind me later in the week. [...]

Wednesday—late morning; situation more or less the same; am having some trouble concentrating on writing though as I did yesterday; yesterday I did two fairly nice ink sketches by the way. [...]

[...] She had a smoke, then tried to read yesterday’s session after I’d massaged her neck, but she couldn’t do it very well so I ended up reading it to her. [...] We didn’t go over past sessions yesterday, either. [...]

[...] Now she could move her arms far enough down to touch her thighs—something she couldn’t do yesterday. [...]

[...] She said Seth may have stopped just because she thought she was going to have a bladder spasm as she did yesterday at break time. [...]
