“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To some extent I am suggesting in this book a different approach. So far the blueprints for reality have been largely unknown. Your methods make them invisible, so here I am suggesting ways in which the unknown reality can become a known one. I have mentioned the dream-art scientist and the [true] mental physicist (in sessions 700–1). I would like to add here the “complete physician.”

Give us a moment … The complete physician would be a person who learned to understand the dynamics of being, the soul-body relationship — one who was healthy in his or her own body. Unhappy people cannot teach you to be happy. Sick ones cannot teach you to be well. Psychiatrists have a high suicide rate. Why do you think they can help you live happily, or add to your vitality? Physicians are not the healthiest of men by far.⁴ Why do you think they can cure you?

(During her delivery Jane had also “picked up” that Seth would soon finish this third section, and that the first three sections would make up Part 1 of the book. So far, Seth hasn’t designated or titled a Part 1.⁶ Jane had received more, but she was vague on it: “… something to do with how each of us could be our own dream-art scientist, mental physicist, and complete physician. And there’s more to come on the three classifications of man that Seth gave in that earlier session … And stuff on the lands of the mind, I think, which leads to our ancient civilizations and how they’re embedded in our minds now …”

The bulk of the material in Personal Reality concerns the nature of beliefs, and the physical and mental environments that are created, both individually and en masse, as a result of those beliefs. It follows, then, that a number of the sessions in that book either deal with health and illness, or with subjects that approach those topics in various ways. Chapters 16 and 17 in particular contain material on what Seth calls natural hypnosis, and on Western medicine, physicians, the suggestions associated with medical insurance and “health” literature, diet, childbirth, hospitals, natural death, good and evil, and so forth.
