“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your growing joint understanding came to your aid. It would be of some benefit at least to be a little less intimidating, always using the hospital’s precise designation for bedsores (decubiti), the term, used as it is, simply impresses upon you the greater strength of medical theory.

The returning motion and energy that is released will automatically take care of the condition—and watch yourselves with your nurse’s mention of the bedsore episodes. On occasion it will be helpful to lift or heighten the chair’s height as Ruburt changes, so think of small varieties of that nature—a different pillow for part of the day, for example, or whatever.

(I lit a cigarette for Jane. A note about the bedsore suggestions given by our nurse, Peggy J: Last Wednesday afternoon during her regular visit Peggy told us she’d talked to her boss, Roe—also a nurse—and that Friday Roe would meet her here to look at Jane’s bedsores. Peggy talked about being relieved of the “responsibility” for the bedsores, which obviously worried her. I’d told Jane to use suggestion so that she wouldn’t be bothered by whatever Roe might say, but suspected that Roe would want Dr. Kardon to examine the bedsores, and probably this would lead to a demand that Jane would go back into the hospital. [I didn’t tell Jane the hospital part of my suspicions, though.]

(On her regular Friday-afternoon visit, Peggy and Jane and I waited for Roe, who was scheduled to visit—but Roe, mysteriously, never showed up. Could she have picked up some sort of message from Jane and me? We don’t know. When Peggy came on Monday afternoon. Roe didn’t show up either, and Peggy didn’t mention it, nor did Peggy dwell on Jane’s bedsores. In some strange way it was as if the whole episode, with its obviously negative implications, never had even been mentioned. I didn’t ask Seth to comment, but should have.

There is no doubt, however, that the bedsores with their problems will dissolve, and almost go unnoticed as they do, if you play down their prominence. You do not have to pretend they are not there, but know that the increased motion, and new psychic motion, will take care of the situation.

(And in his own way, Seth finally did give us some material on the bedsores. It was much better than I’d dared hope. I feel good about it, and know that Jane will too when she reads the session.)
