“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I know that indeed our last session so involved you, Joseph, in lengthy notetaking, and typing chores. I do regret the amount of such work that is necessary. In the last section of our previous session in particular, I attempted to make a more direct emotional communication, and to some extent succeeded.

The ulcer problem can indeed be solved by the personality himself. An attempt however should not be adopted by the personality, if possible, on an intense or desperate level. This, or any such too-intense effort will tend to make additional drains upon needed energy.

Now indeed we will overcome our Ruburt’s poor suggestions.

All of them will be important, and all of them will serve to add dimension to the reality which the sessions involve. This could indeed be thought of in terms of value fulfillment. The sessions also will be helped in general by variety, always of course within our framework.

I did indeed wish to experiment, though not on a spectacular basis, along the lines that we are using this evening. I now and then enjoy sitting at a comfortable table with you, with his eyes open, and it is good training for Ruburt.

I am going into this because the problem has obviously become an organic one. As a beginning I would suggest that your friend read our material concerning the formation of physical matter in general, the formation of the physical image, and the physical organs. If he can see that he is indeed responsible for the condition of his physical body in the most practical manner possible, then it will be much easier for him to picture his own cure.

I am not going to hold a long session, feeling that I have indeed taken much of your time already this week.

It is indeed quite time for us to discuss the true nature and reality of what is so loosely called suggestion. We have indeed spoken much concerning the focus of energy, and a sufferer is truly entranced with the idea of his illness, and it is only this which basically allows the illness to continue. He focuses upon it both consciously and unconsciously.

Our material concerning the construction of the physical universe and of physical matter in general may now, perhaps, give you an idea of how important suggestion is. Also consider our material on expectation, for indeed expectation comes closer, as a term, than does suggestion.

I will indeed now close our session. For Ruburt’s benefit, may I here add that in my remarks of our last session, I was speaking of our sessions only, and did not mean to take credit for any of Ruburt’s own creative work. I am saying this in gentle tones, to avoid upsetting him further.
