“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has been back on a regular schedule of psychological time now for a while, on the restricted twenty-minute schedule set by Seth. She experiments just before noon. She usually achieves what she calls an excellent state, and this is as far as the experiments have carried her.

(Break at 9:21. Jane was dissociated more than usual for a first delivery. She said she felt like opening her eyes a couple of times, or rather that Seth did. Her voice was rather dry and hoarse at times but was not strained, and became no worse during the session. She did not appear tired.

These cannot be recounted, again, in one evening; nor would such a performance serve any purpose at this time; listed, so to speak. There are considerations that connect them that must be discussed, if any good will be done. The need for the ulcer was aggravated in the fairly recent past, but the personality is basically flexible enough so that adjustments can be made.

(Break at 9:50. Jane was well dissociated. She blinked several times without closing her eyes for any length of time, then she was out of her trance.

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.

The trouble with many health programs for recovery is that they cause the sufferer to focus upon his illness more than ever. The unsolved problem is therefore pushed further away. Our program for your friend will almost immediately include a brief but effective suggestion that should be given before sleep, and at various times during the day.

In some types of illnesses such distortions are mirrored or reflected, so to speak, many times within one organism. We will have much more to say along these lines.
