“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Diseases have been wiped out through the use of inoculations. In past cultures, diseases have been wiped out through the intercession of good spirits. The specific nature of inoculations, however, means that more and more become necessary in that system, for the fear of each newly discovered disease becomes paramount—and no time is given, in your terms, now, for the body to respond naturally to those natural conditions, and therefore build up a natural immunity, biologically speaking.

Individual belief systems come into strong play, of course. You had difficulties yourself with the Salk (polio) vaccines. You were afraid to take the treatment and afraid not to. You each had complications. On another occasion you received inoculations—I believe a rabies treatment in California.

Your own late dreams gave you the message. The creature that disappeared or wilted when you attacked it was doubt. You triumphed when you refused to be at the mercy of your doubts. There is a passage Ruburt read somewhere: “Do not take counsel from your fears”—an excellent piece of advice.
