“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You and I were quite right in advising Ruburt to face this through without the treatment of a doctor or chiropractor. I (Jane pointed to herself) you see, would not necessarily give this same advice to someone else. He was on several occasions about ready to visit your Piper. (The chiropractor.) I wanted him to face the symptoms for what they were, and to find the cause. Apparent causes came and went, and would continue to do so had he not—with, my friend, your help and mine—found the master cause.

There are always ample apparent causes behind symptoms. Various upsetting events for example. I am going into this as I go into your own psychological circumstances when I feel it advisable.

Fear, and a complete, if sometimes momentary loss of confidence, was the basic cause that led to retreat and the physical symptoms. Fear itself is damaging as such, particularly when it is anticipatory. He knew enough so that this was partially counterbalanced. Otherwise he literally would have been in worse shape.
