“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(One afternoon during my illness, as I lay drowsily in bed, I had two distinct impressions. First, while my eyes were closed I felt that the “area of darkness” they encompassed to the left and the right was abruptly and definitely wider. This sensation was brief, yet lasted long enough for me to be sure of it.

I am going to speak about your past condition, and I am also going to speak about action. Although the reason, or reasons, for your particular illness involves personal causes, indeed in one way or another all illnesses have a root within ego’s attempt to stand apart from the action of which it is composed, so that at times it fights against itself.

You must not allow yourself to become constricted, for in constriction there is no expansion and little creativity. The daily walk that you plan is not only an excellent idea, but had you carried this through in the past, there is a good possibility that you would not have become ill. For there is that in the physical nature of your field that is automatically refreshing and renewing.

I wish you both a most pleasant evening. Nor have I forgotten your request, Joseph, that I speak concerning your two experiences when you were ill. However, a discussion of them will fit in much more conveniently with our next session.
