“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now as you know, I am a teacher, and interested in instruction. I am not a doctor. This means that my approach to a given problem will be vastly different than the approach of another personality, even on my plane, who has different interests. Therefore I am concerned with, and I emphasize, the importance of inner knowledge, and see physical symptoms for what they are—a reflection of an inner reality.

I understand the husband’s deep concern. The doctor and the medium mentioned by Ruburt are quite legitimate. I am aware of his work. No doctor in your plane or mine, can relieve an individual of symptoms if the symptoms are serving a valid purpose to the inner self; or, in relieving particular symptoms, others will arise.

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.

My ideas are so different from those with which she has been accustomed that it was difficult for us to communicate. I am trying to put this in simple terms. (Pause.) We are all individuals regardless of our plane of existence. The woman could not relate to me well. The doctor of whom I have spoken has a more fundamental approach, you see. Do you follow me here?

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

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.

Now, I am in fine form, but I understand the circumstances under which you operate. Therefore I will not keep you. I have such tender regard for the state of your fingers.
