“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On two occasions within the last week—Saturday and Sunday—Jane walked for the first time in at least a year. She took a few steps without the aid of her table or chair each time—very encouraging progress for her, and fitting in with what Seth has had to say recently about her coming spontaneous urges to begin walking again. Almost each day we reread some of the late sessions doing with letting go, trust of the body and impulses, and similar concepts; they have been a great help. The last session is particularly good in that respect, dealing as it does with the stages of the healing process, the gradual lessening of discomfort each time such a bodily process takes place, etc.

The consciousness of all species interact in that fashion also, as do of course the consciousnesses within atoms. Such communication takes place constantly, and for men and animals it is particularly apt to in the dream state. The organization of the world would not exist otherwise, in any terms. Basically, then, your consciousness and your perceptions operate faster than light. For that matter, this of course applies to many important communication systems within the body itself, and to the constant alteration of cellular tissue and genetic material that would never be perceived through physical means.

You should understand that we have been talking about Framework 1 and Framework 2. Ruburt felt, and so did you to some extent, that it was easier to experience Framework 2’s spontaneity in the mental realm of imagination—but you each felt that the physical body was tied somewhat more rigidly to the dictums of Framework 1, to cause and effect. In that area Ruburt found it difficult to free himself.

A thought, in those terms now, is as physical as a foot—and a foot is as mystical as a thought. The physical body must be born and die. Within that experience, however, there is full freedom, and regardless of any ideas Ruburt might have had, the body can right itself in a moment—regardless of how long, in your terms, it has been in difficulty. That is why I have stressed the importance of impulse, and Framework 2’s activity, for there you are not confined to cause and effect.

Ruburt is progressing well with his psychological experience, and that is allowing the body’s continued release.
