“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A flexible body suddenly in the position of Ruburt’s would protest, and it is a sign of his progress that he now feels that protest. It triggers his release. The discomfort itself, accepted, triggers those body responses that will and are righting the situation. This is highly important. You can minimize pain or discomfort through drugs, cutting down on the “cry” of any symptoms. The cry of symptoms, however, is meant to bring about a new condition, to trigger healing aspects, so drugs can often impede the healing process.

Now Ruburt mentally cut down upon the discomfort of his symptoms, so that the body did not feel its own discomfort strongly enough to trigger healing processes to the degree necessary. If you would keep track, you would find that the sore areas are being treated, and trigger their own releases. This same process follows in many areas of all illnesses. The body is a self-healing mechanism. It counts upon feedback data, however. You do not help ulcer victims by having them avoid certain foods. Instead you remove the impetus for improvement by minimizing the symptoms, which, ideally now, would activate psychological, spiritual, mental, and physical centers, bringing about necessary adjustments.
