“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There seems to be a male relative, I believe twice removed, perhaps an uncle, though I am not certain—a visit from him would be beneficial. (Long pause.) As an immediate step all effort should be made to remove negative suggestions, as these are building up about her. She has felt psychologically trapped for some time, this bringing about the physical trap into which she has fallen.

An excellent and carefully-chosen hypnotist, well versed in such therapy, offers her now the best chance of recovery. It is most essential that negative suggestions be drained away from her, and replaced by positive suggestions (long pause), and a massive effort to do so is required.

A man like Le Cron (author of Self-Hypnotism: The Technique and Its Use in Daily Living, copyright 1964, published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey) will recommend a reliable hypnotist. The other suggestions I have made, the addition of iron and the use of peanut oil, should be begun at once. The bed facing the south. A change in the husband’s attitude will affect the attitude of the ill woman.

She has been literally wasting away, and she is at the mercy of the suggestions that she receives. This is why I stress strongly that all effort be made to achieve a more positive inner atmosphere.

A physical reversal will be the result of a spiritual change. All those surrounding the woman absolutely must refrain from attitudes of hopelessness and negative suggestions, either implied or spoken. This in itself will bring her some relief. This in itself will allow her to improve to some degree.

You must begin to expect that she has hope, for she reacts to all suggestions, as each individual does. Although she is unaware of it, she is telepathically conscious of all such powerfully-negative suggestions. You must try to battle these for her until she can do so again for herself. (Long pause.)

If these instructions concerning a beneficial change in mental environment are not taken, then indeed no other advice or medicine will be of help. (Pause.) I will address healing energy to her, to the best of my ability. She is being smothered, you see, by the hopelessness that surrounds her, as well as by her own hopelessness. To relieve any of the environmental negative thoughts and suggestions will bring her some immediate relief.

The simple exercise given you will immediately bring more positive aspects into the picture, then relief from secondary harmful suggestions, and harmful emotional climates. We can begin a program designed to change her own inner expectations.

(Jane said that while Seth was speaking she herself felt that Seth was convinced that Peggy would be really helped if the instructions were followed. Seth was especially concerned about the positive suggestion ideas being followed.

(Positive suggestion is a powerful weapon, as Jane and I have learned personally, through trial and error. We now use it as a daily adjunct in our lives, but never routinely. We do not think its results can be overestimated, and now we wonder how we lived before we learned of its benefits. RFB.)
