“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Rose C.) Now this friend would like some information, and she has wanted it for some time. Ruburt knows this also. Ruburt also knows that our friend has wondered often why the information was not given. Now let us take a moment. There were reasons, incidentally, why you were not given the information earlier and the reasons should be apparent to you, if you think about the matter for you have a tendency to brood. You brood about the experiences of this life, and then you want me to give you information about five other lives so you can brood five times as much. Now it matters not what information you are given for unless you change your attitude you will find something there to brood upon. So I will give you a few goodies and hold back some other information until you can tell me that your attitude has changed.

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.

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.

Now there are some past-life reasons for your attitudes and also for the profession in which you find yourself, and we will go into those. But first of all you must understand that you can draw health to yourself and vitality and strength and that you are not at the mercy of any poor crawling germs or little flying monsters that come to attack you or your family, nor are you at the mercy of any fact. Now I tell you this because there is a connection in your mind and illness becomes to you the symbol of something far different and far more profound. It becomes in your mind the symbol of evil which attacks you in your mind in small ways to small illnesses. Now, this you have created for yourself and you can cease creating it. And now go home and feel well.
