“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was blue and uncomfortable this morning: “What a way to live,” she said. She’d thought of death, but didn’t want to do that to me. She’s looking for a sign of something better — some improvement that will lift her spirits. She felt better after I read her the session for March 19, and a great Sumari poem I used to close out the essays for Dreams with.

(Jane has even thought of having Debbie Harris take dictation at night, for another children’s book. Perhaps an autobiography also. The nurses and aides were raising hell this morning with their jokes and tricks. This usually helps cheer up Jane, though she gets nervous if they don’t keep their minds on what they’re doing when they lift her, say.

When civilized children are medically inoculated against such diseases, however, they usually do not show the same symptoms, and to an important extent the natural protective processes are impeded. Such children may not come down with the disease against which they are medically protected, then — but they may indeed therefore become “prey” to other diseases later in life that would not otherwise have occurred.

There are many other conditions to be taken into consideration, for such diseases certainly do have strong social connections. They occur in social species. This does not mean that they are necessarily contagious at all, but that they do bear an overall relationship to the give-and-take between individuals and their social and natural frameworks.

(I told Jane that Seth’s material on childhood inoculations leading to later diseases might be vulnerable to statistics. Enough records certainly exist, that such connections might be found — if they were looked for diligently enough on a long-term basis. Such a discovery could lead to revisions in medical treatment, though I’m not sure what or how. I told Jane that the material made me speculate about Joe Bumbalo: He’s had many operations in his life, and has been shot full of drugs often. Could such repeated dosages have anything to do with his having cancer now? And even now Joe is taking powerful chemotherapy treatments. He’s losing his hair, I believe.
