“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(One thing that led to our decision to cut down the visits was that I felt that often Jane seemed worse after the nurses left than she was before they arrived, although her being stirred up for a couple of hours may have contributed to my feeling. But it does seem like a mixed blessing at best. We’re always on the watch for negative suggestions, and some of the nurses dispense these very freely. One of them, Eleanor, visited Jane the last two Mondays and Tuesdays. She is now on vacation, and we trust that the reduced schedule will do away with Eleanor’s visits. She is a nice person who means well, but who also broadcasts negative suggestions like a radio beacon, quite unwittingly. It’s easy to see that she has built her life around such feelings, and is quite pleased with it. [She told Jane she’s had five operations herself.] Jane got so that when Eleanor was here she was constantly saying “no, no, no” to herself as the nurse talked, in order to protect herself from that steady barrage.

(“Are you open to questions tonight?” I asked as we sat at the card table waiting for the session. Jane didn’t know, though I didn’t think she was. I said that I wanted information on the present status and beliefs of her sinful self, for comparison with its earlier stances in life. This question has arisen because of my work on the intro for Dreams, of course, I have the feeling that it might be useful to get something on this so that I could use it to close the intro, but we’ll see. Actually, I regard the attitudes and beliefs of her sinful self as the key to Jane’s recovery, since better attitudes there will leave her free to automatically restore mobility, both physically and psychologically. Hopefully, this new synthesis is taking place now, and will accelerate as Jane responds. I’m of the opinion that her thyroid status is closely involved here.

(Now in a stronger voice than usual, with little tremor and at a good pace:)

Now—

(It’s Saturday morning as I type this material. I broke off to ask Jane about Seth’s reference to her skin being healthy. As I suspected, this came through because both Eleanor and Peggy have been telling Jane that she has to be very careful that her skin doesn’t break down in other areas so that more ulcers appear. Jane has grown tired of constantly trying to counter such ideas, she said now. I replied that we may be getting rid of the nurses even quicker than I thought.

(9:22.) You are both provided for. All of the elements in your lives will now work to your overall advantage. Your natural health and creativity and motion will be expressed at all levels of your experience. Your intellect does not have to know the answers to all of your questions—but both of you use the last few suggestions I just gave you daily. The intellect feels the truth of such issues, even if it does not fully understand the inner reasons or technicalities involved. You can certainly expect more improvements in Ruburt’s condition at all of its levels. It is taking him time to build up reassurance again after the doctors’ pronouncements.

Give us a moment.... You can lift your lives upward, therefore. You have the opportunity of taking great advantage with the use of the magical approach. (Long pause.) There is more material, and I will try to give it to you, for now, at several short sittings per week. I want it to be the best suited to your needs at any given time—but also, such a practice leaves the door open, for example, for the insertion of creative material.
