“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the same way and seeing with the same kind of vision, illness can be healthy—and this is not meant to advocate suffering or poor health. A person “cured” of bad symptoms then through conventional medicine might actually be interrupting a natural movement toward a larger overall health, by dismissing the particular annoying symptoms that serve as chosen reference points.

In a society in which individuals were encouraged to work with the psyche and with specialists who understood it, illnesses would be seen as physical symptoms of inner imbalances. The symptoms would be used as exterior reference points while the other conditions at which they hinted were studied. The natural healing that would then result would be a sure-fire indication of the personality’s growth, maturity and overall health. Health obviously does not apply to the body alone, nor even to the mind. That is, I am not speaking of mental ill health, meaning neurotic conditions. The healthy person is one who is balanced at any given time in your terms, as far as his or her relationship with the psyche is concerned; with the world and its relationships.
