“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We will not indeed at this time go into all the circumstances involved in the illness about which we have been questioned at this time. Nevertheless, we do here find a personality who has been, in this life, from an early age, involved in a most complicated network of emotional involvement, concerning both mother and father—and do I speak too quickly for you, Joseph?

I will say this much. There was, I believe, an afternoon in 1940 or 1942, either in a barracks or in a solitary room, which in this life, had something to do with stirring up the present condition. That is, in making it possible for the condition to later show itself.

In a past existence the male in this room, during in fact two existences, was an extremely intelligent female of high standing. The woman was in the last existence a male. The husband in the immediately last existence was also a male, but in two lives previous to that he was a female. A wealthy one in one life.

It is obvious that the ulcers are at this time serving a purpose for the personality. The purpose must be uncovered. It will be beneficial if we give, if you will forgive the term, and if Ruburt will forgive the term, a life reading.

Such a life reading would involve incidents from both past and present lives, including circumstances which, taken all in all, tended to bring about the illness. Such a malfunction is very seldom the result of circumstances that relate to one existence only, but you see they do involve—are you ready?

—a characteristic method, and an unwholesome one, of satisfying needs, a characteristic method which has been built up through personality patterns that have been adopted through many existences. For example, in one past life you attacked quite forcibly the female physical organs: an ovary with which you had great difficulty.
