“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] However when there is a distortion, as when an ulcer is created, then we begin what can indeed be a vicious circle, for the idea and the reality of the ulcer is then accepted as part of the self-image. [...]

You will begin to starve the ulcer of its energy. [...]

(Lorraine’s neck felt much better, she said, and Bill’s ulcer had quieted down. [...]

[...] I then told Jane that I’d been feeling poorly all week—to such an extent, even, that I’d wondered if I was developing an ulcer. [...]

(I told myself that this attitude was ridiculous; My stomach didn’t clear up immediately, but once again the pendulum informed me that I had no physical illness—ulcers, or anything else. [...]

[...] I also said that it was easy to see how such problems, left unfaced, could lead to things like ulcers, heart attacks, cancer, etc.—and small wonder that our hospitals were crowded with a flow of miserable humanity. [...]

[...] She spent 31 days there, being treated for a severely underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), protruding eyes and double vision, an almost total hearing loss, a slight anemia, and budding bedsores, or decubitus ulcers. Several of the ulcers had been incipient for a number of months, although neither of us had realized what those circles of reddening flesh meant as they slowly blossomed on the “pressure points” of her buttocks, coccyx, and right shoulder blade. Decubitus ulcers: one of the first terms we’d added to our rapidly growing medical vocabulary—and one of the more stubborn afflictions for a human being to get rid of once they’ve become established. [...]

[...] “If the infection in that ulcer on your coccyx reaches the bone, it means at least a six-week stay in the hospital,” exclaimed Jane’s principal doctor, Rita Mandali (not her real name). [...]

[...] The psyche attempts to get rid of them by projecting them into a specific area of the body; in the case of ulcers, the diverted energy goes into the actual production of the ulcer itself. [...]

“In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemicals can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized to form an ulcer, goiter, or to affect other changes [in the body itself]. [...]

[...] Seth told Bill that he took his problems with him on vacation, especially the ulcer, and Bill heartily agreed. Seth then repeated some general suggestions concerning the ulcer, given in earlier sessions. [...]

...You can also use this technique whenever you are overwhelmed by the pain of an ulcer, or a business problem. [...]

[...] He has been doing his own kind of energy exercises, involving the particular “sore” (the ulcer on her coccyx; it’s slowly closing), but I suggest that he does one of those exercises faithfully every day, and that both of you simply see the area healed. [...]

[...] As I suspected, this came through because both Eleanor and Peggy have been telling Jane that she has to be very careful that her skin doesn’t break down in other areas so that more ulcers appear. [...]

[...] Fred told her that the other places had rejected her because of the ulcers. [...]

(However, this morning, Jane said, Fred was amazed at the way the large ulcer on the outside of her right knee is healing itself. [...]

[...] It might go away, he said, as it evidently had once before when the ulcer there had healed. [...]

[...] Jeff said maybe the splotches on her feet were infected, and Judy said the drainage from the small ulcer on each hip had increased. [...]

[...] The ulcer that had formed there after she’d broken her right leg at the site has now closed itself over. [...]

[...] Without our saying anything, she remarked on how well Jane’s ulcers were healing, and how much better she was. [...]

[...] In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemical structures can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized in a lesser fashion to, say, form an ulcer, a goiter, or to affect other changes.

[...] We will not go into an entire discussion, yet you should be able to see the connection between some kinds of images and ulcers, or other growths.

[...] Mr. Wrigley said that the ulcer on Jane’s coccyx was filling in with “grainy” flesh, which means it’s on the mend also, if slowly. [...]

[...] Otherwise, he said, ulcers could develop there also. [...]

(The ulcer on Jane’s right knee is showing definite signs of healing, and closing up on the inside — more so than on her knuckle on the left hand.

(I learned the name of the enzymatic debriding agent, or ointment that’s been prescribed for the ulcer on Jane’s right knee, Travase Ointment [Sutlains Ointment], and copied down much of the information on the small tube one of the nurses had left lying on a table in 330. [...]

[...] You do not help ulcer victims by having them avoid certain foods. [...]

[...] This morning Judy and Gail Greene told her that the ulcer on her left elbow is about healed, and that the one on her left shoulder has a scab on it, which means it’s close to healing itself. [...]

[...] Another neighbor has ulcers, and Augustus told Ruburt that after he touched this neighbor the ulcers seemed to have been healed. [...]

[...] If he keeps this up long enough, he will indeed strain a portion of the body, and by telling others about it he will gradually begin to affect not only his personal world, but that part of the mass world with which he has contact: It will be known that he has an ulcer, or whatever. [...]

(Then Jane told me that Jan was in this morning, and told her that the ulcers were looking very good—meaning that there has been considerable improvement in them since Jane saw them last. [...]

(Some more good points today: Ken Wrigley visited Jane this morning, examined the ulcer on her right knee, and said it was coming along well enough so that the debriding ointment, Trevose, isn’t needed any longer. [...]
