“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Fuller contact is still possible. Even during the experiment he is not here for example all of the time. His focus is not certain, and the intensity of his presence varies. You could sit quietly. Automatic sketching might facilitate contact.

His controls are not good. He is actually between various probable systems, in which however each of you have an interest. It is as if you were, say, distant cousins. Oddly enough your neighborhood, with a rather high saturation of doctors, is a help here. Perhaps I should mention that in your terms (underlined) he is an older man.

He has more time for such experiments now than he did when he was younger. This particular probable system, generally speaking, exists within the same space framework as your own. Now you know of positive and negative matter. There are also other kinds of matter forming other systems of reality, invisible to your eyes, as is negative matter.

(9:38. During break I told Jane I had a couple of questions for Seth, but would wait to ask them until he said all right. Resume at 9:43.)

Now. The drug allows for regulated periods of highly intensified consciousness, operating at peak levels, with all of the mental faculties accelerated. Between these periods however there are periods of unconsciousness. These are of a protective nature. During the periods of unconsciousness the drugs injected into the brain give increased nourishment to those areas of the physical brain that are involved in such ejections of consciousness. Therefore even though your probable self is within reaching distance, so to speak, he is sometimes involved in such blackout-nourishment periods.

Give us a moment. (Pause.) Nothing new. Originally he set a rather massive assault upon his physical system, that did involve among other things, infection. Literally he was infected by negative ideas. As he rids himself of these he rids himself of infections. The words used make little difference.

Had the man seen Ruburt’s mouth two years ago he would have been outraged, and told Ruburt he would not have a tooth left in his head by now. And Ruburt most likely would have reacted to the suggestion.

It makes no difference whether or not he does. Give us a moment. (Long pause.) I do not suggest that he has any work done at this time. If he wants to learn the nature of his X-rays he can call. Have him remember to relax the jaw.

If a doctor tells you you have a particular disease and names it, then tells you he has something to cure it, your belief may cure it. Do you follow me?

He is.

(“I’m still trying to contact him consciously. Do you think he’ll be around tonight?”)

Give us a moment, please. Now there is an exaggerated fear on Ruburt’s part of the word arthritic, for in his mind it is connected with his mother’s chronic state. He should understand it does not have this meaning to other people necessarily. He feels threatened by the term. (Long pause.) It’s being used in the context it was, in your parent’s home and under those circumstances, was unfortunate.

On the other hand he did take steps to free himself. The other negative suggestions involving health, given during the entire afternoon and evening, contributed. The effects however were highly reduced from what they would have been in the past.
