“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane didn’t eat much lunch — the cheeseburger was badly overcooked, and quite tough. Neither of us had dreams to report. I read her Maude’s letter, and her article in Reality Change, saying we’d have to work out a response. We’ll also have to figure out how to handle any money we receive, until the hospital and insurance questions are resolved. I plan to call our lawyer Monday morning to ask for advice. I imagine I’ll be opening a separate account at the bank for the fund checks. I also told Jane I’d like something from Seth that Maude can send to contributors.

There are no killer (underlined) viruses, then, but viruses that go beyond their usual bounds. We will have more to say about such issues later on in the book — for I hope to show you how certain feelings and beliefs do indeed promote health, while others promote an unfortunate extension or exaggeration of perfectly normal bodily processes, or viral activity.

This means, of course, that you do not fall victim to a disease, or catch a virus, but that for one reason or another your own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs lead you to seek bouts of illness. Period.

Certainly, such ideas will sound like medical heresy to many readers, but the sooner you begin to look at health and “disease” in these new terms, the healthier and happier you will become. (Long pause.) You are not one thing and illness another, for your thoughts and emotions are the triggers that lead to bouts of poor health. Once you know this, you can begin to take steps that will serve to promote exuberance and vitality instead of fear, doubts, and “disease.”

Soon, we will begin to discuss other negative beliefs that cause poor health. For now, however, we will concentrate upon those inbred, positive attitudes, feelings, and beliefs that constantly improve our sense of well-being, strength, and fulfillment.
