“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today, December 10, the day was warmer—35—but rainy and sort of gloomy. Jane was okay. She told me that she’d had to counter negative suggestions given to her in hydro this morning by both Lottie and Georgia, relative to new bedsores breaking out beside the sits of old ones—in other words, she was always to have bedsores. Jane most forcefully told the kids that she wouldn’t, and that she didn’t want such suggestions. Georgia agreed, though I don’t know to what extent she might have been surprised by Jane’s reactions on the spot.

Apropos Ruburt’s mention of the negative suggestions given this morning—remember, as I have said before, that the doctors and nurses are also the victims of such habits and behavior.

They are less healthy than the rest of the population. The medical schools propagate such ideas, unfortunately. The large complex dealing with the development of the new drugs and so forth forms its own organization, so that the concentration is always upon more drugs, and the concept of any natural health is lost in the process. It is an excellent idea for Ruburt to mention such instances of negative suggestion to you, as he did today. This makes it easier to triumph over such concepts. He did well in countering them today—and each such victory frees him even further from such hogwash. (Very emphatically.)

(I asked her if she’d covered up any other such instances of negative suggestion as those she’d been given today, but she said she didn’t think so. She added that they hadn’t been frequent for some time. “It’s easy enough for me to say,” I said. “but you’ve just got to assert yourself when they happen at such times. It’s your life, your health, so that’s far more important than what they think—”

(We were interrupted by Sharon Hawley as she came into 330 to take Jane’s temperature—97—and BP and pulse. In our discussion afterward Jane said she responds to negative suggestions much more quickly and forcefully than she used to.
