“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The temperature was about 33 degrees as I left for 330. Jane had the window of her room wide open, and the place was still hot. I began peeling off clothes layer by layer. I told her about my dream of last night: I’d been in my writing room and I heard Jim Baker, our optometrist, in my studio. He was talking and using an occasional cuss word in a rather humorous way. I heard his voice clearly. I knew that Jane was in the house somewhere, that she was walking perfectly all right, and that Jim had come to see her, not me. I wasn’t concerned or jealous.

(As we talked before lunch came, Jane shed a few tears. She wanted to get up and get out of bed and start walking — without waiting. I told her of the insight that came to me as she talked. It was that the body healed itself at a rate prescribed by its circumstances — that actually it could heal itself very rapidly if it was unimpeded. Thus, being in a hospital with all the negative suggestions could operate telepathically as well as overtly to slow down healing. The insight, which is hardly original, popped into my mind when I asked Jane why the healing was taking so long, in response to something she said. I hoped Seth would comment.

(Long pause.) When you are born you possess a group of attitudes toward yourself and toward life. These allow you to grow with the greatest possible impetus into childhood. They are also important in every period of your life. You can see (long pause) the results in life all about you, though in animals or plants these are experienced as a matter of feelings rather than, say, as thoughts or attitudes.

It may sound very simplistic to tell you that you must have sunny thoughts as well as rays of the physical sun in order to be healthy — but sunny thoughts are as biologically necessary to your well-being as are the rays of the sun that shines in the sky. Even as infants, then, you are predisposed naturally toward certain feelings, thoughts and attitudes that are meant to insure your healthy survival and emergence into adulthood. These are actually composed of inbred psychological information as necessary and vital to your life as the data transmitted by your genes and chromosomes. Indeed, these inbred, inner psychological predispositions are all-important if the information carried by your genes and chromosomes is to be faithfully followed.
