“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.

(Long pause.) As I mentioned, the beliefs of your society are everywhere embodied in all of its organizations and professions. The give-and-take between any given individual and his or her society therefore are fascinating, as the individual and mass beliefs are reinforced. Since you are starting from scratch, so to speak, then you have only each other to rely upon. Really try to see it as a challenge—the daily reinforcement of trust and belief—so that, again, each of you particularly encourage those emotions of hope and optimism that are so important. In a fashion you are your own church, school, college. In a sense you are your own parents as you attempt to bring into physical reality an entirely new body of concepts and beliefs. You have the individual and joint abilities to aid each other immeasurably in that regard. Earlier you simply were not ready to make that fuller transition, and again, that transition, once decided upon, is indeed effortless.

Both of you trust that each day brings you closer to your goals. The suggestions I have given are all promoters of energy and motion. They are signposts to inner portions of body and mind, deeply reassuring, and can serve to combat the negative suggestions that are often so numerous. Think of the evening as a creative period. As much as possible, let Ruburt follow his body’s feelings during the night. He is still overly concerned about waking you too often, but his body often is expressing its need for motion and change.
