[...] It is up to you to form a body of beliefs that is worthy of your physical image — for you are nourished by your beliefs, and those beliefs can cause your daily bread to add to your vitality, or to add to your cares and stress.

There are very definite, excellent side-effects of growing older, that we will also discuss in this book — but here I want to assure the reader that basically speaking there are no diseases brought about by old age alone (intently).

[...] This effect largely disappeared as the session progressed.)

[...] For several days just past, her sinuses have been full, causing her to sniffle and blow her nose often.

[...] Jeff wanted to run a blood test tomorrow — “I’m not sure of the cause of the fever. [...]

An old response, caused by the necessity to iron on occasion as a child on demand, and her mother’s unreasoning fastidiousness, as the child saw it. [...]

Some time ago, I said something to the effect that seeming miracles were simply caused by nature unimpeded. [...]

[...] Before, that intent was diminished as far as its effect was concerned, by your fears, your concern about details, your worries about too many visitors, or demands.

[...] The clear intent, then, takes it for granted that the results will indeed be highly beneficial, and not cause detriments.

[...] While he struggled (to succeed), these did not cause him noticeable difficulty, though they operated underground, impeding his progress. Only when it seemed that success was on its way, or inevitable, did these suggestions show their effects.

He did arouse himself for battle yesterday (at my parents’, especially noticing the poor condition of my father), and this was effective, but this state of battle should not be maintained as a daily thing. [...] If these are withdrawn he has a tendency to panic, although now he deals with this in a much more effective manner than he did.

[...] You will de-hypnotize him, you see, to the effect that he is good, his basic instincts can be trusted, and he can therefore be free to move and act in a spontaneous manner.

[...] Often, therefore, preventative medicine causes what it hopes to avoid. Not only does the idea [of prevention] continually promote the entire system of fear, but specific steps taken to prevent a disease in a body not already stricken, again, often set up reactions that bring about side effects that would occur if the disease had in fact been suffered.

(11:32.) A specific disease will of course have its effects on other portions of the body as well, [effects] which have not been studied, or even known. [...]

[...] Concern causes the throat to become dry. [...]

At certain times, and most particularly at the birth of medical science in modern times, the belief in inoculation, if not by the populace then by the doctors, did possess the great strength of new suggestion and hope — but I am afraid that scientific medicine has caused as many new diseases as it has cured. [...]

[...] The impulsiveness caused him to forward the money already received, however. [...]

[...] But it was also the subject matter, to some degree, that made Mr. Fell cautious, and that finally caused the earlier publisher to turn it down.

[...] You will both find it effective and refreshing.

I said that the inner ego reasons, but its reasoning is not restricted to the cause-and-effect limitations that you apply to the reasoning process. [...]

(10:40.) There are intensities of behavior, then, in which the activity, the inside activity, of any being or particle is directed toward [the] physical force [that is] involved in the cooperative venture that causes your reality. [...]

[...] Perhaps your late arrival was caused by “a chance meeting” with a friend at the last moment, or by a misplaced ticket, or by a traffic jam that seemingly had nothing to do with you at all.

As mentioned earlier, those concepts can have a hand in the development of would-be suicides, particularly of a young age, for they seem to effectively block a future.

Both mechanisms suddenly line up the belief systems in one particular manner, knocking aside all doubts but accepting instead a strict obedience to the new belief system, and a new reorganization of life itself beneath that new cause.

The beneficial or detrimental effect of the emergence of secondary personalities must and may be judged by its effect for good or bad on the dominant personality, for in your existence the dominant personality is necessary and must be maintained in an authoritative position, to deal with the physical world.

Emotional outbursts or reactions do cause chemical conditions, and certain chemical conditions can facilitate such communications. However, it is a fact that as a rule the communications cause the chemical reactions rather than the other way around.

[...] As earthquakes cause lava to boil up seemingly from the center of the earth, so do some secondary personalities in their explosive emersion bring with them debris from other levels of the subconscious, often personifying themselves in the guise of those buried and frightening fears that have, until then, found no vehicle for expression.

Dear Joseph, when I spoke of you both being in excellent overall condition, I did not mean that I overlooked your yearly hay fever, into which we shall go in so far as causes and alleviation of symptoms are concerned, and shortly. [...]

In all cases, little effort is made to understand the basic problems beneath, and the social segregations merely build up the pressure, so to speak, so that those with like beliefs are kept in situations that only perpetuate the basic causes.

[...] They can all work in such a way that you deny yourself the use of your abilities — and this in turn causes you to project them outward upon others.

[...] If you are making no effective efforts to handle your own problems, then the symptoms will simply reappear in a new fashion, and the same process will be reinitiated. [...]

[...] It would be for the author to conduct a survey of the surviving members of families involved in such accidents, to study the after-effects, see what changes the tragedy had brought about in their lives, their habits, ways of thinking and looking at life—in short, the detailed study of each family case history would comprise an intimate, in-depth probing of all the complicated effects that had resulted from that single tragic event.

[...] Tam told Jane that at our request he’d checked with John Nelson, who in turn had checked the contract with the Swiss publisher, to the effect that the German-language translation of Seth Speaks is definitely not to be cut, as that particular publisher had wanted to do a couple of years ago. [...]

The interweaving of “dream reality” with the world of facts, however, is precisely what causes a myth to begin with, and is the source of its tremendous power, for it combines the two realities into a construct powerful enough to charge civilizations with new vitality, and literally to reshape man’s course. [...]

[...] Starting over can be done — by anyone in any situation, and it will bring about some beneficial effects regardless of previous conditions.

[...] It should be remembered that it is the beliefs and feelings of the patients that largely determine the effectiveness of any medical procedures, techniques, or medications.

[...] That is far more effective than physical stretching. The same kind of suggestion applied to the legs with gentle manipulation, and to the arms, would be very effective. [...]

[...] At first you encountered a concentration of old beliefs that had already unraveled, causing you to move, yet physically were left to tangle for a while. [...]

Partially because of the muscular reaction mentioned by the chiropractor, and partially because the body’s healing mechanisms operate more effectively in clear weather. [...]

[...]

[...] I always want to emphasize the importance of individual action, for only the individual can help form organizations that become physical vehicles (intently) for the effective expression of ideals. [...]

[...] She’d also noticed similar effects after our first suggestion period. [...] Jane doesn’t know which suggestion session —or all of them, say —brought about what effects. [...]

[...] The effects she felt are described in the notes for the December 5th session. [...]
