“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause.) There are organizations, patterns that people try out throughout their lives, changing often from one to the other, interpreting and therefore of course experiencing reality through many different casts. Some, overall, would seem quite destructive.

(The drainage from the elbow had been sticking up her blouse. Last week a rather mild infection had developed in the open area that had been infected last August. I’d gotten her prescription for E-Mycin refilled as soon as Jane’s nurse had pointed out the reinfection, but Jane hasn’t been taking it faithfully, three times a day, as she should. Of course her body has largely kept the infection under control; actually the elbow looks much better. On at least a couple of days she didn’t take the antibiotic at all. I think the medication would also help the ulcer on her right heel.

Neither of you had much experience of a particular nature in dealing with the medical aspects of the world. To some extent your own do-it-yourself attitudes kept you from such experience, and as long as Ruburt lacked it, and as long as you lacked it (with much more emphasis than I’d heard Jane use as Seth in a long time), you would both still have doubts about the nature of our own work as applied to such matters—and this goes beyond the confines of our work in ways I will try to clear later.

(Once again, very forcefully:)But it was material; it was data that you needed, and did not want at the same time. You had to understand to some degree what the rest of the world had to put up with. Only by so doing could you clear the air and make your own decisions as to the course the rest of your lives would take. You are making the proper decisions now, but you needed your own complete cooperation—Ruburt in particular but you also.
