([Jane:] “I got this fantastic image of everybody spontaneously forming all these seasons and everything. And there was a tremendous effort involved individually to get spring going—to get the buds out...that the good things that we do that we don’t realize...you know we think of war—and we see all the evil we do; and that the good things we do, we often don’t realize—and that we actually form the seasons—the spring, the other seasons; and that the earth itself, the physical earth, is like the Garden of Eden in our subconscious. That is, it’s a result of the good things that we do that we maintain—that we create and maintain this fantastic planet that we get our sustenance and food from—and everything else. And that when spring comes, it’s a creative—a tremendous achievement—on the part of each individual on the earth and in this section of the country, because we have done it. And our belief in spontaneity and life and vitality has actually helped form this. Different chemicals come out through our systems that we don’t even know of that change the atmosphere and so forth and brings all this about. “

Now. My Dean, the spontaneous self that you so fear is the self that speaks to Bega. Then it is not a self that you have to fear. You are highly confused as to the meaning of spontaneity and discipline. Now the seasons come each year as they have come for centuries upon your planet—and they come with a magnificent spontaneity and with a creativity that bursts upon the world. And yet they come in your system within a highly ritualized and disciplined manner. And spring does not come in December. And there is a merging of spontaneity and discipline—truly marvelous to behold. And you do not fear the coming of the seasons.

[...] A violet springs to life in the backyard, but the violet must stay there. [...]

[...] I said that the seasons came and went, and that many crops of spring flowers grew there over a period of time. [...]

Occult spring
With its apport of flowers
Casts its spell
Upon the land…

[...] There is no effect in the exterior world that does not spring from an inner source. [...]

[...] Using this analogy the mountains and oceans, the valleys and rivers and all natural phenomena spring from the earth’s soul, as all events and all manufactured objects appear from the inner mind or soul of mankind.

These are not physical children at the mercy of time and the elements, but eternal ones, more knowledgeable than the parent; gods springing from the human psyche, half-human, half-divine. [...]

The spontaneous self, the creative self, is also immersed in Framework 2, and the creative conscious mind springs from there also, even though its focus must of necessity be in Framework 1’s world of space and time.

[...] This causes a transforming reorganization of energy, thought, and creativity—a vast transforming process, for behind the individual is the entire good intent of nature, which springs from the resources of Framework 2.

[...] All of Ruburt’s improvements, however, spring directly from the fact that he is freeing his desire to walk, stating it in Framework 2, where it is being brought to pass.

[...] The ego is simply not conscious enough to be able to contain the vast knowledge that belongs to the inner conscious self from which it springs.

[...] It is to say that the outer ego is far less conscious than the inner ego, that its perception is less, that it is far less stable though it makes great pretense of stability, that it springs from the inner self and is therefore less, rather than more, aware.

It is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with the discussion.

[...] Some words are entirely forgotten in one language, but spring up in altered form in another. [...]

[...] Its “words” spring alive. [...]

[...] Certainly it seemed more than coincidence that lots of the great things starting to develop involved people with this common denominator running through their lives—of Saratoga Springs, NY.)

It is true that all spring from the same source—creativity—but the divisions between his personality’s use of those abilities, and my use of them, was not to be broken down. [...]

My answer is that the myths in their own way try to hint at answers that are basically nonverbal, and at concepts that are themselves the fountainhead from which the earth and all existence springs.

[...] A spring.” Jane said the flower data earlier in the material could have given rise to this personal association: She thought of times in her childhood when her grandmother took her on a walk to the park in Saratoga Springs, NY. In the park they often visited a particular sulphur water spring designated as Number One Spring.

A spring. [...]

(Seth mentions an April meeting and John said that he expects to go to Chicago for a meeting this spring.

[...] Perhaps a connection with spring: A stone structure, a house, I believe, a strange tree, the word hycynthia.

([Rob:] “How will John make out on his trip to Chicago this spring?”)

[...] Some of your private and joint problems spring from cultural beliefs that you are intellectually aware of, but not emotionally free from. Your idea of a separate painting studio, and some of your attendant ideas, are simply hangovers that you do not have to accept, springing from your father and his garage. [...]

[...] Order springs from spontaneity, and spontaneity from order.

In your terms consciousness springs from unconsciousness, but the unconsciousness from which it springs is far more “conscious” in terms both of scope and intensity, than the consciousness you know.

[...] A late spring, or a spring or summer month.

Since the early days of our sessions, which began in late 1963, Seth has consistently called me Ruburt, and Rob, Joseph, saying that these names refer to the greater selves from which our present identities spring. [...]

In the AM the dream instantly reminded me of an almost completely different opposite dream, a nightmare that I had just about the time my eye troubles and other difficulties began in earnest: It was in the spring when I was doing James. [...]

[...] The ego is simply not conscious enough to be able to contain the vast knowledge that belongs to the inner conscious self from which it springs. [...]

Now it is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not ordinarily spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation, and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with this discussion.

Your flesh springs about you in response to these inner chords of your being, and the trees, rocks, seas and mountains spring up as the body of the earth from the deep inner chords within the atoms and molecules, which are also living. [...]
