[...] I have a suggestion, however.

I suggest that under the circumstances, this time Ruburt step aside and let Jim Crosson have his day. [...]

(It had been suggested that Jane do stage trance work when addressing the SFF meeting. [...]

I suggest you take your first break. [...]

I suggest you take a break in your expanding universe.

I suggest you take your break.

ROB’S SUGGESTIONS ABOUT

(We’d achieved some good success with our mutual pendulum suggestions for Jane, twice daily, over the past several weeks. [...]

[...] It is significant, for example, that you stop your joint pendulum suggestions at such times, for it means you feel the need of a breathing spell, so to speak, to assimilate the changes of behavior. [...]

[...] The reason the pendulum suggestions do work is that you are both jointly changing a status quo that you have jointly—though you may protest—previously accepted.

[...] Even the planes of the face themselves can suggest mountains or valleys. [...] What time of day would it suggest? [...]

(Pause.) These are simply a few suggestions. [...]

[...] I am already thinking of ways to put the suggestions to work on a conscious basis.)

I suggest a brief break and we shall continue.

[...] I suggest your break.

[...] Jane and I thought this was unwitting negative suggestion, since Betts at 44 is 3 years younger than I am.

[...] First the girls are wrong about the cause of the slight swelling, then Fred gives her a lousy suggestion about arthritis! [...] Jane answered my question about whether Fred had any idea he was giving out rotten suggestions about arthritis by saying that it never occurred to him—or any other doctor. [...]

(Long pause.) Actually, in several places in previous books, I did indeed describe negative suggestion and its utilization by the medical authorities under the name of preventative medicine. [...]

The suggestions Ruburt has written down are excellent, and are helping considerably. [...]

[...] A suggestion that gaiety and frivolity are also natural aspects of life, and joyful celebrations of existence, harmless, in fact beneficial play exercises on the part of the soul, will help here.

Before bed this evening let Ruburt read his suggestions twice. [...]

(See the 424th session of July 29, and the discarnate Van Elver’s suggestion that I not use sepia—Seth pronounces it say-pia—with too heavy a hand. [...]

[...] (Pause.) I suggest we end the session, though I will be here for some time. [...]

[...] I suggested she clear her throat, making a noise that way. [...]

April 14 Rob decides we really have to do something to tackle my difficulties which have been more than considerable lately, he suggests I call Tam to see when Events is out; or if it is, since April 13 is date of arrival. [...]

[...] For this week, the suggestions given remain the same, again, faithfully followed.

[...] A belief in powerlessness in any area sets up its possibility in others — it operates as negative suggestion.”

[...] Usually, however, a pattern of unsuccessful diets occurs, operating then as a series of negative suggestions. [...]

I am not telling you to gush out a steady stream of positive suggestions, whether or not they bear any relation to the situation at hand.

(At her suggestion I’d brought in her old wire-frame glasses, but they didn’t seem to make much difference. [...]

[...] The good news is that Toni, the night aide, had suggested that Jane see if she could work the nurse’s call button. [...]

[...] I was surprised when she suggested the session, since for some reason I’d thought she wasn’t going to have one. [...]

This on several levels is significant, for you have the first strong challenge to habitual body beliefs, with a resulting initial breakup of old suggestion, given constantly to the body. More than this however, in this one case Ruburt realizes that the body remembers how to sit down properly, once the suggestion that it cannot is broken down.

[...] The suggestions will not be given in order necessarily.

Later I will suggest that Ruburt cut down on both sugar and milk for coffee, but for now let it stand. [...]

All of these suggestions will release both of you in important ways. [...]

[...] I asked if she had a cold — a poor suggestion — but instead of denying it, Jane said she didn’t know.

[...] Did suggestions.

[...] Your help, again, with the suggestions is invaluable in terms of your loving active aid—but also because you are convincing yourself that you live in a safe universe, so that Ruburt does not feel that he must battle for himself and for you. [...]

[...] I also suggest, only, class twice a month—a small one, in which you should find some most interesting developments involving experiences of your own. [...]

I will also have comments concerning your own reactions (to me), and I suggest—but only suggest—that again your usual two sessions a week be held, as a framework for the therapeutic endeavors. [...]
