“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.

(10:39.) Now: when you work through such an episode as this weekend’s bout, then you gain an individual but also joint confidence in your ability to do so—a very important point, a very intimate and vital way of dealing with your joint reactions. Some such feelings could be expected, naturally enough, since you do not live in a perfect world. It can be understood that they are transitory, however, and in the entire picture they begin to dissolve easier and easier. Various things can spark such feelings, according to the circumstances, while at another time the same kind of stimulus may not apply at all.

(Long pause.) I cannot stress the fact of Ruburt’s attitude toward the medical profession during and immediately following his hospital stay. Symbolically, however, the attitude itself is highly therapeutic, since it “stands for and represents” many important issues in his life—and in settling one you settle all in this regard. Some of the very late material I have been giving you fits in at this point. (Long pause.) To some extent Peggy (the nurse) stands for the medical establishment, of course. (Long pause, head down.) Read that last small group of sessions together, so that the material, both verbal and otherwise, stays with you—and again, you will be feeling the additional reassurance and confidence that comes from your individual and joint triumph, when such episodes are conquered.
