(Jane was okay, although as I got to 330, three nurses were trying to insert a new catheter. Jane had had spasms. The nurses had some difficulty, and we were late eating lunch. Afterward we played the tape of the psychic reading a friend had sent us last September. The tape was a copy, and the quality terrible — so bad we couldn’t understand it all. I marveled that a scientist would send out a product like that.
(Some of the material from the tape is good, other parts not good — some right, some wrong, as might be expected. He said Jane could die, but obviously she didn’t. He was correct in mentioning anemia, incorrect about liver and spleen problems, as far as we know. The problem with such readings is their generalizations. One can always cite energy blockages, and probably be correct, but this says little. Most of us have energy blockages of some sort. Also, one not only has to penetrate the reality of the person being read, but that of the medium doing the reading. The reading offered no specific insights into the causes behind Jane’s troubles, although this would be difficult in such a short time span.
(The psychic reading was correct, I think, in saying that Jane had the creative potential to create a spectacular success, and recover. We thought the tape contained a number of negative suggestions, though how one deals with physical troubles without sounding negative at times may be a problem in itself. Specifics are vital, however, so once again we are on our own. I still think Jane carries within her her own solutions. She said she was “more unfavorably disposed toward the reading than favorably disposed toward it.” Amen. So am I. But it’s a valuable learning experience. I told Jane part of that value lay in the fact that we waited until now to play it, when she has decided to try to uncover her own causes and effects. Obviously, we didn’t want to use the tape before.
