(The first time I read her the session she fell asleep when I got to the Seth material, so after she came awake with a start I read it to her again. I figured she needed the rest after the bouts of infection.

(The window was closed but there was no heat again in 330, even though it had been “fixed” by changing the thermostat. Seth’s opening remarks were undoubtedly in response to my own remarks at the close of yesterday’s session, when I’d written that he often didn’t follow through, as promised, on material.)

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)
Apropos the material I mentioned yesterday (about Jane’s symptoms, particularly her eyes.)
Most such material is indeed given at a later date, though not always under the same heading or category, and often wound into another body of material.
Specifically, I wanted to make the point that the body’s actions are unfortunately often misread and misunderstood. The body often clears out, or tries out, its own processes — perhaps by being feverish for several days, and then by lowering the temperature once unwanted materials are burned out, so to speak.

(“Thank you, Seth.”
(4:47 p.m. Seth’s material was reassuring, of course, and I believed it. So did Jane, I think, in spite of it all. “So if you followed his stuff,” I said after supper, when I was getting ready to leave, “you wouldn’t have taken the antibiotics, and the body would have taken care of itself.” That also meant that in the interim Jane wouldn’t have “been trying too hard,” of course.
(“But what do you do when you’re faced with that kind of treatment in a place where you can’t walk out if you disagree with it?” I asked. “That’s when you’re stuck … We’re a long ways from having any medical profession think about the body like Seth does, or even like we do.”
(And no matter what Seth says, I’d still like some material on the extremes of Jane’s behavior to her fears of ridicule, guilt, being attacked — the whole bit. I guess I was thinking that it’s even okay to have fears, even strong ones, without going all the way with them so that they end up rendering one helpless. In larger terms I even understand why one would choose to carry certain behavior to ultimate extremes. In the short run, it’s still not easy to grasp, however.)
