“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A while earlier this evening Ruburt read something that made him wonder whether or not he had, or could develop, healing ability. I decided to speak about the general subject this evening.

It is an extremely interesting one, though somewhat complicated. This ability is a natural one, operating to some degree or another within every personality. It is a natural protective mechanism of inner origin, directly affecting matter. It is a self-correcting mechanism. The individual’s health is determined by his ability to take advantage of, or to use, this mechanism.

There are ways in which this natural ability can be strengthened, and it may be of benefit that we discuss them. These ways will not only be helpful in facilitating these automatic health correction tendencies, but will also be generally beneficial as far as all inner abilities are concerned.

They will allow you to increase your clairvoyant and telepathic abilities. They will aid in astral projection training. They will increase your powers of concentration, and will also show themselves in your own work.

Such a state is far from impossible, and we shall see that you achieve it. The rules that I have given you are an absolute necessity if that state is to be achieved. And it is only in that state that the inner self can utilize its abilities.

A little more here concerning diet. You are indeed to a large extent what you eat. You are bound up in the cycle of earth relationships. The eating of meat without doubt focuses the physical mechanism closely to the physical system. There is nothing wrong with this. If you are trying to develop inner abilities however, and if you wish to allow yourself a mobility of focus, then moderation in this respect must be used. Eggs and milk and cheeses can be substituted occasionally without changing your overall eating habits.
