“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Remember what I said earlier, that we form physical reality as a replica of our inner ideas. This is a major premise of the Seth Material. Joan literally disliked everyone with few exceptions. She was convinced, furthermore, that she was unliked and unlikable.

Daily life contained all kinds of threats for her, and she kept her nervous system in a constant state of stress. Her body defenses were lowered. She was tired of the constant battle, never realizing that much of the war was one-sided and unwarranted. She projected her ideas of reality outward, and they literally led her to destruction.

“You should desire good health because it is a natural state of your being. You should trust in the innate intelligence of your own being. Health is its natural state.

For the effects of the body are felt in the mind, and the mind’s effects are felt in the body.”
