“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For one thing, she is afraid that the Jesuit will get more severe symptoms of his own, as a result of work pressure, and in a protective way she is trying to say “Bill, do not get sick. See, I will get sick myself instead, for you.”

She is saying “You are not only hurting yourself, but you are hurting me also.” Symbolically, the malady is expressing her attitude perfectly. She is strongly dependent upon the Jesuit, even while she appears, and is in many ways solitary and aggressive; and she is afraid that their intimate life might suffer if the acceleration of his work experience is continued, and if his attitude toward it does not change.

She is ready to combat the symptoms actively and aggressively, because she does not feel that she can actively and aggressively combat the Jesuit’s attitudes that are causing her concern.

It is the Jesuit’s attitude, and not the conditions, and he can (underline) change those attitudes once he realizes the effects they are having not only upon himself but upon his wife.

The cat lover will not want to admit some of this, for it seems to accuse the Jesuit, and she feels he cannot stand any more strain. She does not want to add to it, so she takes the strain upon herself. This is undistorted incidentally, and as valid a diagnosis as could ever be given.
