“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(My remarks came about in response to Jane’s wondering comments about what, if any, part beliefs could play in one getting so ill at such a young age. I thought our frame of reference wasn’t large enough. If one wanted to consider telepathy, that could have an effect. So could the idea of reincarnation, and of counterparts, I added —three situations not considered within our ordinary contemporary scheme of things.)

It is possible that such a healing can automatically give the family as a whole a new set of beliefs. If not, of course, one member or another may become ill, or the child might have a relapse. As probabilities go, however, the child’s experience is enough to show it that such illness can indeed vanish overnight. Now that knowledge is a part of that child’s experience, and the cure will be the great event of his life, in that it will always be in the back of his mind as he grows.

Furthermore. He believed that physical exertion was life itself, and he little appreciated the world of the mind, so little by little the self-suggestions took effect. His illness itself made him question, until finally he realized the great mental vitality he possessed. That mental vitality led him to trust his body once again, and to act in direct contradiction to those previous beliefs of the doctors, family, friends, and society that had so bound him.
