“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.

There are in fact infinite varieties of matter, existing in what you would call (underlined) one space framework. Using the physical senses, you can of course never perceive the existence of these other systems. Advanced training with the inner senses can lead to such explorations however. Your friend is more advanced—his system is more advanced than yours in this respect.

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.

Negative thoughts running rampant do cause infections. Negative suggestions however can also keep them going. I suggest that Ruburt concentrate as much as possible on his work, even in his psycho-cybernetics exercises.

Ruburt has a good idea of that from his work with the pendulum.

If however his treatment involves drugs, these may further upset the inner processes, causing further imbalances. These imbalances may be labeled with a name also. Ruburt’s symptoms would therefore be called arthritic, since they fit into that category, so named. To concentrate upon the term however is dangerous, for it gives a specific identity or implies a state of permanence to a group of varying and impermanent symptoms.

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.
