“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Edgar and Maria explained their method of healing by hypnosis. Edgar hypnotizes Maria and she, by scanning lights which she sees in the patient’s chest, can read the symptoms. Edgar remarked he would like Seth’s comments on their method.)

So you are embarked upon valuable work and experience. You are only beginning to ask the correct questions. Hypnosis is an excellent tool, you are using. It is valuable indeed. As you learn to ask the proper questions, it will become more valuable. You need to grow beyond the concern for the nature of the light. In the terms of which I am speaking, this is not the kind of question. That kind of question will only give you a certain kind of answer, and if you follow that course then you will follow a question-and-answer course, but without learning anything more than a series of questions and answers that have meaning only within a certain limited framework. So you must lead yourselves free of that.

Now I can tell you what the light is, but when I do that, I am a poor teacher, for a good teacher knows how to let others discover meanings for themselves, and that is a part of your experience. Otherwise you would not be working with the light. The question is not, what is the nature of the light? That is one of the important things I wanted to tell you.

(Edgar brought Maria out of trance. Maria remarked there was no change or fluctuation in the lights while Seth was speaking than she had seen in Jane the previous evening.)
