SESSION 820, FEBRUARY 13, 1978
9:40 P.M. MONDAY

(Session 819, which was held last Saturday evening, had nothing to do with Mass Events. In our opinion tonight’s session did, however, and for a number of reasons that will become obvious as it’s read. Yet Seth didn’t call it dictation.

(At lunch today I suggested to Jane that she put together a short book on the Frameworks 1 and 2 material Seth has given us since he introduced that concept in a private session last September 17, 1977. We’ve had 31 private or nonbook sessions since then, and a number of them contain information on Frameworks 1 and 2 — much of it relevant to that presented in Mass Events. I thought Jane might consider such a book project along with her other work. In a way the suggestion was my idea of trying to do something about Seth producing books within books, as I discussed in my opening notes for the 814th session; but Seth is so prolific that it seems we’ll never get all of his material published at this time.

(Jane showed more interest in my idea than I’d thought she would, and spent the afternoon going over those private sessions. As the hours passed she reacted to Seth’s data by becoming very loose and relaxed. She “felt funny,” she said. Still, she wanted to try for the session. We began waiting at 9:30. Then, without greetings:)

To some extent the material on Frameworks 1 and 2 is of course an example of the entire idea, for you receive a good deal of information in sessions not given to book dictation — simply because, while our books are extremely free, still they must be colored by your ideas of what books are.

Even your concepts of creativity are necessarily influenced by Framework 1 thinking, of course, so our sessions do indeed follow a larger pattern than that, giving you certain perspectives from different angles in book dictation, and in other material. To some extent the larger creative pattern of the material, which does exist and is sensed, is nevertheless not directly perceived, for you are bound to perceive it piecemeal.

We will most probably have to end the session, for there are points where the translation becomes most difficult. You [both] are privately at a time where you are ready to go ahead again, where the information given is catching up to you in time, so that there can be renewed bursts of comprehension, dream experiences, and other such events.

End of session.

(Her comments fit in well with Seth’s closing statement about the difficulty of translation; otherwise, we couldn’t find a reason for her reactions in the session material itself. I suggested that the necessary insights would come to her later. It did seem that her odd state had its origins in her feelings of the afternoon and early evening.)
