“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He pulls out part of the thorn but not all of it, working with the pendulum, in some cases. When the symptom hangs on this is usually the case. The general overall condition of his body represents his general state of inner health. Specific complaints represent usually local reactions brought about by a current problem or current incident.

The jump from a local condition to a statement like “I am a mess,” should be avoided. An inclination to project a local symptom on the body in general—do you follow me?—is very poor, and takes focus away from very definite advances which go unnoticed.

When the knee is bad, today for example, the tendency is to focus upon it, and the difficulties involved, and to ignore entirely the other portions of the body which are not affected. Then in the overall he sees himself in his terms generally as a mess. The attitude should be: “This area is affected, why? We can find out.”

We hope that you will. (I didn’t.) I suggest that you give instructions to the effect that a portion of you will remain alert in sleep to such an encounter. Give us a moment. There may be a change of air pressure in the room that could alert you. Most probably it would be a telepathic communication, but he may touch you, to see if you feel physical to him. He will only appear in apparition form. The true stuff or material of his body of course will not be here, since its kind of matter cannot exist within your own, that is within your own system.
