“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, you are here for one particular reason this evening whether you know it or not, and it is because you knew our new friends, the Greek twins (Valerie and Vanessa) and so you came when they attended class. Now you were at one time, in the same area given as for the twins, and give us a moment here. You were then a music teacher, teaching the flute mainly, but in the back of your mind you had a great plan which you were never able to bring to fruition in that particular life. And you dreamed a great dream and the dream had to do with an instrument called the piano, and you wondered how you could bring this instrument about and how it could be made and how it would work. And yet in your mind you heard the music. And when you taught the flute, in the back of your mind always, was the idea of the piano. So you tried to make the flute do things that the flute could never do.

(To Louise.) Now, if you want to cough have a good one and do not feel embarrassed. There is nothing worse than trying to cough and trying not to at the same time. Now, I will let you all take a break and you may cough to your heart’s content. I did not mean to give the suggestion if you do not have to cough.

You are all portions of your own higher identity, your own multidimensional selves. Now these selves know how to heal, and in the dream state they will indeed do so if you allow them to. You carry many of your misconceptions into certain areas of your dream reality and even there you close many doors.

Each of you automatically heal yourselves day by day, as you know. Cells die and are born. You renew your bodies every seven years, all without your conscious knowledge. You use the energy of the universe to heal yourselves constantly, but you have very definite conceptions of how this healing can take place and what is possible and what is not possible. You expect the cells of your body to be replaced. You expect your image to continue day by day, although the physical matter of your image today has not one atom or molecule within it that was a portion of your image ten years ago. The bodies that you had ten years ago are dead and gone, and you never missed them, and you do not feel dead.

You feel very alive, indeed. These things you take for granted but you form your own image, and you form them in consistent belief with those ideas that you have. And if you believe that you have a bad gall bladder, for example, and if you do not discover the reasons behind the difficulty you will faithfully reproduce that faulty gall bladder with every new formation of your physical image. And it does not occur to you that as your body is completely transformed within each seven years, so there is no reason at all to reproduce it each time with the old ailment. You can, indeed, heal yourselves but you must realize that you can do so in order to do it yourself effectively.

Now, to some extent, all of you take advantage of these abilities or you would not have physical bodies to begin with. They simply would not last that long, in your terms. But when you cannot do this for yourself, and when your own misconceptions hold you back from using your own abilities, then there are others who can reawaken your own energies and direct them to your advantage; who can meet you and speak with you when you are in more auspicious states than the one you usually call conscious— When you are at your most creative and alert, in other words, when you are asleep. These others can then speak to you and communicate with you, illuminate you as to the reasons behind your difficulty and help you erase that difficulty.

I want each of you to understand, however, that you have these abilities and you use them. When you cut your finger the flesh is made new. This is done automatically by a portion of yourself that is not conscious but is very vital and very real. You are kept alive as you listen to me and yet you do not understand what keeps your body alive and functioning. This is taken care of by the inner self and if you trust it, it will keep you in excellent health. Whenever you doubt it then you have need of doctors and nurses and it is good to have them if there is no other place to turn.

You are aware of your body as you know it, and you form it, but this you do not yet realize. Therefore, the point I am trying to make is that you form your own illnesses and your own physical defects but you also form your entire physical being, and the good points of your physical image are also your own work. Now I will let you continue with your break.

You can get rid of all the illness when you realize that you have the habit of creating and drawing it to you out of fear. What you fear most you draw to yourself. Instead you must concentrate upon what you want and do not be so worried about where I am, just listen to what I have to say for now. You can learn to concentrate upon what you want and draw that to yourself and you can learn and without too much difficulty, to completely restructure the health habits of your family.

(To Rose.) Our friend over here in the corner has healing abilities and you can direct them, mainly toward others, although you are quite capable of using them for your own benefit also when you do not brood.

(To Rachel) The one over here on the couch who winks at me in such an infamous manner, you also have healing abilities. In the main you direct them outward toward others and when you have a better opinion of yourself, you can use them for your own benefit. Right now you do not think you are worthy. Not only does she wink but she sniffles her nose at me. Now these are abilities you can learn to use and develop.

(To Nadine.) It often occurs that those who have strong healing abilities focus upon illness and sickness and are obsessed with it in the same way that many ministers, given to thoughts of good and God, are obsessed with the idea of the devil and evil. So you also have strong healing abilities but these, so far in your personal life, have been latent because of your fear and your obsession in the other direction. If you will forgive me, it is somewhat like a woman with very earthly desires, but strong abilities in that line, who rigorously refuses to use them and dwells instead on thoughts of their evil, holding them back simply because she realizes they are so strong. In your own personal life you are afraid to use your abilities of this healing. You do not understand them and yet in your profession you are free to use them and you have seen them work.

If I did not care I would not spend so much time talking to you. Now, why is it that when I take the time and effort, because I like you and take your questions into consideration, that you think I do not like you. It must be that this voice is not that melodious. Now, if you had to speak through someone else instead of through your own voice box, you would find, indeed, that there were many difficulties involved and besides it is fun for me to get you so upset.

In this very, very distant time, these people who were very gifted, and are still very gifted, these people looked about them. They had a dream. They were, in a strange way, mathematicians and scientists, but in a way that had nothing to do with physical space or physical theories, and they imagined out of their great power, a dimension of reality in which there were trees and fields and physical beings with physical bodies; skies that were blue; water that fell down from the sky. And out of their great creativity and from themselves because, in your terms, in your terms, they were a race of gods. They conceived a dimension of reality in which these things would, indeed, exist and from themselves they sent out portions of their own entity and consciousness. And when I say that they did this, they did it joyfully and with a great exuberance and yet, also, they felt this portion of their own consciousness leave them and escape from them and so, to some extent, they cried to see a portion of themselves forever leave and yet they did this that you might have existence and song.

I will have you know I would not do such a thing and my performance right now proves I would never do such a thing as you can all tell.

Now, I am glad you liked my children’s tale. I do want to give our friend (Jane) more of a break, however, but let me tell you that in my own book I am not using children’s tales. You have been given children’s tales too often. Now they are lovely and there is meaning in them, and you here should understand the meaning of the tale I gave you. But beneath the stories of the beginning there are other things that you should know, and in my own book I will tell you what they are. And now, you see, I do not interrupt.

(To Louise.) Now, you have great energy, you simply do not know how to use it and direct it, but it is there and to some extent it is spontaneous and free. It can also be used to give comfort to others.

(After break:) I will say good evening but what information you get here increases the nature of reality as you know it and frees you from time. Your experience during these classes is far different than your ordinary experience for you learn more in a short period of time than you do at any other time, except again, when you are sleeping.

(To Janice.) Now, you are doing very well and making a good start. You are doing very well, indeed, in all the areas in which you have begun to achieve.

(To Colleen.) And you often travel further than you know, also, and you will do well if you persist.
