“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He quite understands how in childhood he adopted colds and discarded them, and is to see then the other symptoms in the same light. For these reasons the cold was adopted. He needed to see how he himself in a relatively harmless (underlined) incident in miniature, so to speak, could create such conditions as the cold, and in growing out of it see how he can grow out of the other symptoms.

Now. He is working with beliefs, juggling them. The cold symptoms began some time ago, and have been kept while he makes up his mind to dispense with the more familiar ones. The cold does not involve physical slow motion.

Intuitively he began to understand the physical connections between that kind of cold and sinus involvement, and his condition. (Gestures to include the whole body.) A cold is something that comes and goes, and is not permanent, and he is to see his other symptoms in that same light—not as he saw them earlier, as a permanent-like situation.

The cold, beyond that, is also symbolic in that his bout with the other symptoms had to do to some degree with being out in the cold—out of it.

(The irony here being that I had been making efforts, consciously at least, to convince myself that I would not catch Jane’s cold, after she developed it last Tuesday. [...] It was a cold and rainy evening.)

[...] Both of us had heavy colds when we got home on Sunday, August 23.

(Jane came down with her cold while we were in Maine. [...]

[...] The encounter had nothing to do with his cold, or with yours.

(My suspicion is that her cold-and-other symptoms mean that we’ve set up some resistance on the part of her psyche since she initiated the Day 1 program on February 2. Today is Day 18 of the program. [...]

[...] It had turned very windy, and I thought it might mean another cold spell.)

The body has many ways of accelerating its own defenses (cough). The so-called common cold is a case in point. [...]

[...] I noted that it was now conceded by both Jane and Seth that she did have a cold, as I’d asked her yesterday.

[...] The afternoon was cold. [...] I didn’t realize that when Fred’s Seth told me Fred was getting cold, he really meant it. [...]

[...] “Please, Fred is getting cold.... [...]

[...] Fred is very cold. [...]

[...] “Fred doesn’t. But he’s awfully cold....” [...]

(Today, Christmas Day, was very cold indeed—below zero last night, and only 10 above when I left for the hospital this noon. [...]

[...] This reminded me of the bitterly cold days when I did the same thing years ago while working at Artistic Card Company—the job that brought us to Elmira. [...]

[...] It was very cold once more, but the car started okay. [...]

[...] According to my own troubles, my pendulum insisted that I did not have a cold, even though I had all the symptoms. [...] My pendulum also told me that communication problems involving Jane, other than the TV show question, caused the “cold,” etc.

[...] 2: Why I caught a “cold” last week?

(Since I have great faith in the pendulum, I wanted to know why it insisted that I did not have a cold—when I had felt poor indeed all week. [...]

[...] (The two deleted sessions of November 30 & December 2.) The cold effectively kept you from physical contact.

[...] Jane felt her left hand immediately grow cold. [...]

[...] flesh with a cold white light; there was no radiant effect, merely the changing color of the flesh itself.

[...] The cold white light spread up over the thickening wrist, up the forearm to the sweater. [...]

[...] The hand, pawlike, clublike, felt very cold to me, wet and clammy, and the skin had a bumpy feeling that I was not used to in Jane’s hand.

(It was very cold last night, and at 6:30 this morning it was still 5 degrees below zero. [...]

[...] I laughed, telling her her behavior reminded me of our cats this morning, when it was so cold: Both Billy and Mitzi had barely stepped out onto the picnic table from the kitchen window, when they reversed themselves and hopped right back into the house. [...]

(I went out to the parking lot to run up the car at 5:00, it was so cold. [...]

[...] Then both hands terribly cold. [...] Feeling from feet up of body dissolved, but the coldness at the same time. It reached my upper left arm, which ached with cold. [...] My limbs very cold to the touch. As I write this at once my hands and feet are still abnormally cold. Was shaking with cold when alarm rang.

(I was relieved that it wasn’t my mother, but my reasoning was cold-blooded. [...]

(The day had been cold, and it was very cold as I stopped on my way home to pick up some little Christmas presents for Jane. [...]

(The night had been very cold, and the temperature still was only 12 degrees above when I got to 330 this afternoon. [...]

(This session was also a short one, primarily because Jane still had her cold. The cold, however, did not interfere with her giving a long and very successful session last Saturday evening for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli. [...]

[...] I told her I hoped it was an early sign of the new healing and freedom Seth has been saying she’s on her way to achieving through her latest bouts of fever, her cold, and so forth.

[...] You do not catch a cold, either. [...]

(I should add that yesterday and today have been very cold in our area, though today is a bit warmer than yesterday and the night before when the temperature was around zero degrees, I believe. The cold seems to hamper everything else one wants to do, or feel. [...]

[...] I asked if she had a cold — a poor suggestion — but instead of denying it, Jane said she didn’t know.

[...] Jane felt her hand grow cold. [...]

[...] It seemed to be an internal suffusing of the flesh with a cold white light. [...]

[...] She wore a black sweater with the sleeves half pushed up and the cold white light spread up over the thickening wrist, up her forearm, to the sweater.

[...] The pawlike hand felt very cold, wet and clammy, and the skin had a bumpy feeling that I wasn’t used to in Jane’s hand.

[...] If you were expressing yourself fully on certain issues you would not have a cold, and if you were using all of the insights that you should have gathered in class, you would not have a cold. If you were allowing full expression of your inner ideas outward along certain lines having to do with your oldest son, you would not have a cold. It is easier, however, to use honey and vinegar; but using honey and vinegar you simply get rid of the cold and do not find out why you have it. [...]

[...] It involved a cold unwelcoming room which represented I think the reception of my work or writing. [...]

[...] She also said that as soon as she began to speak she felt cold. [...]

[...] Jane had a head cold, and we had a session scheduled for the weekend for Claire Crittenden and Pat Norelli.)

[...] For I have indeed led you on in this regard, and quite cold-heartedly, for you must have your little wonders and your little spectaculars to begin with to whet your appetite. [...]

[...] And that personality is not cold. [...]
