“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My personality itself has been a stabilizing influence, and I have given Ruburt counsel even when he was not aware of my doing so. His personality, like your own, has benefited in ways you cannot measure. As you have always known, his attitude toward our book represented, of course, his attitude toward our sessions. Intuitive freedoms should now be realized on his part. He had been blocking many of these. I will say little of the symptoms. They will vanish as he continues to come to terms with himself.

These steps, ultimately, can only be taken by the personality involved. If all illness has been adopted by a personality for a particular reason in this life, then it has been adopted so that the personality involved will understand the illness as a materialized symbol for a challenge or problem that the personality has set. The personality therefore, if he or she solves the problem, will conquer the illness.

Obviously the cause behind illness is not always the same. In a reincarnational sense, the personality for a while takes the role of a sick person, as an actor would, and is completely immersed in it. Obviously again, more dimensions are involved here than in an actor’s role. The actor would merely try to imagine how it would be like to be in such a position. The person in the reincarnational role is as immersed in it as possible. He decides to take the role for various reasons of his own, and the inner self knows that the role was chosen.

However, the doctor of whom I am speaking also has an excellent bedside manner, so to speak (humorous and slow) and he usually communicates with other levels of the personality that are unknown to the ego. (Long pause.) There would be no harm then, and perhaps some good done, by making such a contact.

I am used to lecturing. He is used to speaking quietly with patients at their level of understanding.

(She said she knew from Seth that Seth had frightened Peg somewhat; that is, his approach had been one she was unaccustomed to, and it would have been better had he talked with Peg about Jesus, His love and healing power, etc.

Now. You had better end the session. I will however give you a few notes. First of all, within your system, relatively speaking, there can be and usually is, some lapse between my own thought and Ruburt’s verbalization. The control over the physical system is not as complete as when Ruburt is in control of it. When I am deeply considering a matter therefore, there is a pause on my part added to the natural lapse mentioned earlier. We will discuss this more fully for it will lead us into some other matters in which you will be interested. I do not operate Ruburt’s controls as automatically as he does, you see.
