“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane doesn’t appear to be doing too well — her body is up to something, I told her. Today her feet bothered her considerably. There is swelling on her right shoulder, and I also thought her cheeks looked swollen. I’ve seen such signs before, but do not recall what they meant, if anything. Today her temperature was 100 degrees — up again. She’s had such swings in recent days, and ate little lunch and less supper, saying she had to take it very easy in order to keep the food down. No nurses have said anything to doctors, as far as I know.

Behind many such attitudes is the idea that the body itself is unworthy, and that starving it somehow cuts down on the appetites of the flesh. You usually end up with a flurry of different kinds of diets.

This keeps the body in a state of constant turmoil. Some people are so convinced, in fact, that eating is wrong that they diet until they become ravenously hungry, then overeat and force themselves to vomit up the residue.

Other people, in a well-meaning attempt to watch their weight, skip their breakfasts entirely — a very poor procedure. It is far better to eat moderate amounts of food in all of the food ranges, and to consume smaller portions more often. I realize that your social mores also dictate your eating habits — but four light meals a day will overall serve you very well, and give the body a more steady, regulated nourishment.

I bid you a fond early evening, and accelerate those forces that quicken your peace of body and mind, and release the healing processes.
