[...] (Strongly:) This is psychic slaying in a technological framework.

[...] I told you that Frameworks 1 and 2 were actually united. [...] To understand that much alone, to comprehend the simple idea of Framework 2’s indisputable existence is strongly important, however. [...]

To even sense the existence of that kind of reality, however, you must already have “opened the doorway” to Framework 2, and begun to use the magical approach as your natural instinctive way of dealing with experience. [...]

[...] without a framework in which to even organize meaning. [...]

[...] you threatened the fine framework of organization that alone made life possible....

(8:43.) In that framework it almost seems as if the most natural wish would be the wish to live one life for some kind of eternal duration. In that framework it seems as if people are cut down in their primes often, despite their own wishes, desires or intents, and it is taken for granted that death is the undesired, unwanted, unsought victor over creatures whose natural desires lead them to fight for natural survival at all costs. Certainly this suggests an almost unbearable cruelty, thrust upon nature’s framework. [...]

[...] Their vitality was strong enough to form differentiation and cooperation within the framework of matter.

Even the c-e-l-l-s (spelled) are free enough of time and space to hold an intimate framework of being within the present, while being surrounded by this greater knowledge of what you think of as the earth’s past. [...]

[...] There are indeed psychological frameworks that operate in communications such as ours, and I shall attempt to explain their function and composition.

This psychological framework obviously must be receptive. [...]

[...] This psychological framework is in itself capable of growth, in terms of development. [...]

[...] This psychological framework is the medium through which we can communicate. [...]

[...] The basis of your most intimate experience, the framework behind all of your organized structures, rests upon a reality that is not considered valid by the very institutions that are formed through its auspices.

[...] Its characteristics are the closest to those in Framework 2 that you can presently encounter.

[...] Man’s imagination can carry him into those other realms — but when he tries to squeeze those truths into frameworks too small, he distorts and bends inner realities so that they become jagged dogmas.

[...] The fundamental framework, in this period of time, for all of its fervor, is not rich — as for example Christianity was in the past, with its numerous saints. [...]

In the time those fears originated, he shared the belief framework of Christianity, so that he believed that outside of that framework there could indeed be nothing but chaos, or the conventional atheism of science, in which the universe was at the mercy of meaningless mechanistic laws—laws, however, that operated without logic, but more importantly laws that operated without feeling. [...]

[...] You can indeed learn much concerning events; but what we are mainly concerned with here is the stuff of dreams, and the framework within which they have their existence.

One note: Framework 2 shows itself in your frame of reference through play, unpredictability, surprises. [...] Therefore, remember Framework 2. Look for signs of its existence, for surprises, for unexpected solutions in any and all areas.

Castaneda’s books, for all their seeming unconventionality, had a niche to fall into, for here was the quite conventional scholar exploring a culture, even of the mind; not his own—but safely, within an academic framework to which he then returned, and to which academic readers could identify. [...]

[...] In the meantime, Prentice has given a framework—a reputable one—in which the books could find their growth and audience.

[...] If you were, or if Ruburt was, a conventional Philip Roth, a novelist, safely within that framework, or if he were willing to set himself up as an “occult” mistress of the spirit, then you would have publicity galore.

I would rather make some remarks about Ruburt, his condition, and about his beliefs and frameworks.

To some extent the perspective one, two, three material is related to Frameworks 1 and 2, for the symbols of your mind grow in their own fashion, changing shape and form, but following the emotional content rather faithfully. [...]

[...] He’d initially given us the material on Frameworks 1 and 2 in private sessions not long after starting Mass Events, as Rob explained in his notes for Session 814.
