(9:01.) In certain fashions (underlined), that system also keeps the body from squandering its energies, preserving biological integrity. Otherwise it would be as if you did not know where your own house began or ended, and so tried to heat the entire neighborhood. So some indispositions “caused by viruses” are accepted by the body as welcome triggers, to clean out that system, and this applies to your present indispositions.

Obviously those abilities operate best when you trust them. The body’s systems know what diseases are in the air, so to speak, and will often set up countermeasures ahead of time, giving you what you experience as an indisposition of one kind or another—but an indisposition that is actually a statement of prevention against another condition.

This afternoon Jane said she’d learned from Seth that we’d come down with those indispositions because we wanted to use our bodies’ immune systems; those structures needed the workouts, in other words. I’d had a vaguely similar thought this morning, and it had reminded me of my feelings on Saturday night—that our friend’s continual sneezing amid the group was actually a prolonged act of aggression.

(Pause at 9:17.) There are all kinds of biological reactions between bodies that go unnoticed, and they are all basically of a social nature, dealing with biological communications. In a fashion viruses—in a fashion—again, are a way of dealing with or controlling the environment. These are natural interactions, and since you live in a world where, overall, people are healthy enough to contribute through labor, energy, and ideas, health is the dominating ingredient—but there are biological interactions between all physical bodies that are the basis for that health, and the mechanisms include the interactions of viruses, and even the periods of indisposition, that are not understood.

[...] His past indispositions, from an overall viewpoint, have been most necessary and beneficial. [...] His indispositions taught him this is a way that he will not forget. [...]

[...] On the other hand neither should you blame yourselves for various small and separated indispositions.

In a state of excellent health there will still be small, infrequent but definite indispositions. [...]

[...] The cat episode, my dear friend, (laugh) was not connected with either of your indispositions, except for your own negative expectations. [...]

[...] The individual may realize that his or her pace has been too fast, and so natural feelings bring about a lethargy of body, or a slight fever, or an indisposition—all quite natural, resilient activities. [...] A reliance and faith in the natural self, however, would be large enough to accept certain indispositions without fear, panic, or doubt. With the best of intent most public health announcements shout the symptoms of critical diseases to the skies, so that the smallest of indispositions becomes the trigger for personal fear on the part of millions. [...]

When such beliefs are shared by an entire society, then the slightest indisposition is instantly suspect.

[...] The proper mental attitude could have prevented the indisposition. On the other hand, better solutions not having been used, the indisposition served a purpose and a desired end was gained.

[...] I was not aware of Ruburt’s approaching indisposition at our last session, although I knew his overall condition was not of the best.

[...] She had very little to drink—two small glasses of wine, and felt recovered from her indisposition of the afternoon.

[...] The indisposition, or cold, came about for a strange reason, based mainly upon the symbolism placed by both of you upon the establishment in which you created the fragments last year.

[...] I believe he received some bad news this week, and suffered some indisposition. [...]

Ruburt’s indisposition is the result of a rather uncalled-for sense of panic.

[...]

[...] You also felt that the symptoms would take Ruburt’s mind off of his own for a change, and also let you see how, if or when your reactions to other people were changed or altered because of your indisposition. [...]

(The session due Monday, May 30, was not held due to my own indisposition. [...]

[...] If you do not trust your nature, then any illness or indisposition will be interpreted as an onslaught against health. [...]

[...] The result physically has been a slight indisposition which will shortly vanish, and be replaced in fact by a much more efficient health standard as a matter of course.

[...] In this large group of sessions, Seth addressed himself to several of our individual problems: Rob’s occasional bouts of indisposition when he felt ‘under the weather’ generally, or was bothered by a variety of minor but annoying symptoms; and my own long-standing troubles with severe stiffness. [...]

[...] In periods of momentary indisposition, however, the dreaming process may be blocked and the chemical excess accumulated. [...]
