“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Margaret Bumbalo and Debbie visited Jane last night; she also called me around 8:30. Jane had to have her catheter changed again, at about midnight, after attempts at irrigating it failed. She was doing well when I got there at 1:05 this afternoon, though. The temperature was 4l degrees, and dry for a change.

(3:14. She then tried to read the fan letter about the “nightshade” diet, but didn’t do well even though it was typed. I read the last page to her myself. I repeated that I wanted Seth to comment on the question of diets and treatments for ailments. We had an interesting talk, and I made some very good points—wish I had them written down. My main point was that by displacing the cause of their troubles outside themselves, the patient freed himself or herself of guilt and responsibility for their own welfare. It made me wonder just how many ills are treated in this way, with the “cure” being given to the patient through conventional treatment, where if the patient understood what mechanisms were operating within, the cure could be attained without medical intervention.

(At the same time, she wants to ask Seth tomorrow about her very noticeable lack of movements during the last fours days now, at least. While we were talking Jane told me that she’s been quite successful at imagining herself back at 704 N. Wilbur Avenue, in Sayre—the home of my parents.
