Specific inoculations are given under various conditions. They are bound to affect the biological system. The people who take such inoculations within your own culture, now, usually do so because they do not want the disease specified, and they believe that the inoculation will prevent it. It is impossible to tell ahead of time how many of those individuals would come down with the disease otherwise, yet diseases do come and go whether or not inoculations are given. The mechanisms operate in such a fashion that by now overall belief has come to such a point that the same results would almost be effected if an inoculation of no particular value were given instead. The mind is as effective against viruses as anything else—and in such hypothetical cases immune reactions would be set up biologically, through the mind’s beliefs.

You cannot afford that kind of method now, because you do not believe that the mind itself can help protect the body against disease caused by bacteria or virus. In many cases, whenever your culture and so-called primitive ones have met, inoculations worked, whether or not the natives believed in a particular inoculation, because they do believe in the “white man’s superior power,” and were as hypnotized by the white doctor’s mystique as they were by their medicine men.

I will not quibble with either of you, and I am not by any means justifying any of Ruburt’s methods, in the unfortunate restraint he has placed upon his body. I would like to make one remark: you do have many lives. Each person knows this on an unconscious basis. Some know it consciously. Any decisions made are made with that in mind.

It is an error to worry in anticipation. When you are doing well, it is when you are keeping Framework 2 in mind, and when you make an effort to reinforce each other’s faith. That is the only effort you need make.

(11:24.) As a speaker, I bring into your world information not generally a part of it, and in other terms as speakers yourselves, you contribute your knowledge of the world as it is in your time, along with that vaster knowledge that is a part of your heritage. You are aware of the books we write and of the sessions we hold. You are not aware of the larger ramifications, the communications that continue both while you sleep and while you wake. You are not aware of those greater dimensions of activity that go on as you work at your notes, or familiar with the millions of people who will respond to them in their conscious life, and in the multiconscious level of their dreams. It will help if you keep that in mind.
