“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 2:50 Dr. Wilson, whom Jane likes, came in to examine the knee. He said a part of the bone at the break site, had become infected, and probably had been for a long time. It might go away, he said, as it evidently had once before when the ulcer there had healed. He agreed with us that it was okay to leave the area uncovered and free of cream, since it’s thoroughly washed each day in hydro. He didn’t advocate doing anything like an operation, and his advice was consistent with Seth’s material yesterday. He’ll check on the knee, he said.

(At 3:15 she tried to read yesterday’s session. She didn’t do well, though, and I read it to her finally.)

The mind grows wiser with age when it is allowed to do so. There is even an acceleration of thought and inspiration, much like that experienced in the adolescent years, that suddenly brings a new understanding to the aged individual, and provides an impetus that should help the person to achieve greater comprehension — a comprehension that should quell all fears of death.

Thoughts and beliefs do indeed bring about physical alterations. They can even — and often do — change genetic messages.

There are diseases that people believe are inherited, carried from one generation to another by a faulty genetic communication. Obviously, many people with, for example, a genetic heritage of arthritis do not come down with the disease themselves, while others indeed are so afflicted. The difference is one of belief.

The people who have accepted the suggestion uncritically that they will inherit such a malady do then seem to inherit it: they experience the symptoms. Actually, the belief itself may have changed a healthy genetic message into an unhealthy one. Ideally, a change of belief would remedy the situation.

I am, of course, very pleased with your work on Dreams, and with the notes that you read yesterday. I take it for granted that you do understand my appreciation.
