“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.

Generally he has done very well in regulating the physical organs, however, and in maintaining a level of effectiveness that is most unusual, considering his early unhealthy psychic environment.

(I was glad to hear this, and had been wondering whether Seth would give me this suggestion without my asking. He had done likewise in the unscheduled 184th session last Friday, and the suggestion had worked well for me. Whatever its source I had certainly responded.)

Ruburt should drink no more than five cups of coffee daily at the most. If he is not giving up his cigarettes, then as you suggested moderation should be used. The present fifteen a day will do for now, but this should be reduced to ten when it is feasible.

This should be done every night during your season, and will immeasurably help you. The same suggestions should be given by Ruburt for the sinus condition. He has helped your health often, automatically. He is a health-giving personality in this respect, generally speaking.

The nervous cigarette habit does not help him however, for it diverts his energies. Obviously it is a symptom. Moderation at least will be of great benefit, if he follows our suggestions.

Ruburt has the impression of the school fence across the street from the house in which he lived, and he is thinking of a particular photograph of his own that involved his house, the street, part of the fence, and perhaps some children. We are letting all of this come through.

Now, I knew this was a photograph. Ruburt however, through association, made certain deductions. He picked up from me the fact that children were involved. He picked up the road and the pyramid shapes. This led him to think of his old home, for in the afternoon the shadow of its roof threw a pyramid shadow form upon the road.

The children that I perceived, he projected into this picture of his, a photograph in which children were indeed involved. The photograph used in the test was taken in the afternoon. The chimney was not in the picture. I saw the chimney of the other house in the test photograph, but this does not show there.

(During last break we had speculated about the photograph being taken in the afternoon, because of the elongated shadows on the white snow. I will check with my brother in Webster, hoping he can remember after six years. It seems reasonable to agree with Seth; I do not believe such shadows can be found in the morning during the winter months.
