“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We had two questions for Seth, since we’re trying to get into the habit of writing such down as they occur to us: 1. Jane wanted Seth to comment on why he’ll take off on something she’s read, and reinterpret it his own way, or carry it further; her question came up because he did this Monday while she’s reading Fred Hoyle’s book, Ten Faces of The Universe; 2. Jane wanted Seth to give information on her “significant” dream of last Saturday morning, July 1. She couldn’t remember any details from it, but has talked about it often; she thinks it had something to do with health.)

Several important projects are clicking together in Framework 2, and Ruburt feels as if some dimensions in space-time are warped. The effect of events in Framework 2 is constant, but there are moments in your terms of particular acceleration, where “work” done there seems to quiver the edges of your reality in Framework 1. This is such a time.

This is particularly true in terms of Ruburt’s physical condition. His dream did inform him of that, but this also means that the mental conditions of limitation are being released enough so that other areas of your experience are now ready to come together in newer fashions.

It is very difficult to try to explain the nature of any event, or the ways in which any given specific mental attitude can release or inhibit the expression of any given series of events. Probabilities do not operate alone, isolated, but largely in terms of conglomerations, so that, say, like does attract like.

In your cases, changes of attitude have begun to alter Framework 2, so that a corner is turned. In other terms, this can be likened to the discovery of a new world or land that has existed, of course, but whose existence was unsuspected. It has still to be explored. So those kinds of changes are in the air, so that many of the connections you have made in many areas will click together in another fashion, more beneficially, and more purposefully.

Ruburt’s standing and walking seemed to happen suddenly. The inner work had been going on. He will of course have other and more extensive such experiences, but overall the mental work is now beginning to be strong enough in your framework, so that more and more results, in your terms, will show themselves.

If he knew later of the plane’s fate, he thought “How lucky for me that my plans were thwarted.” If he never learned of the crash, he might think that he was simply beset by distractions, and that his efforts went nowhere. The same thing can happen, however, where no crashes or disasters are involved, and no dangers are implied, but where events that do not fit into your implied pattern intrude into it.

Each such event, again, is indeed connected with your own overall intents, and may be working toward them, but in a way that appears disruptive. An encounter, for example, that is a nuisance today may suddenly spark a new insight tomorrow, or appear in your own work in an entirely different form that you do not recognize, simply because you are not used to looking at such distractions in this kind of creative light.

(10:l4.) The benefits of such distractions do indeed, I admit, seem quite invisible to you, and in your joint experiences they often appear simply as nuisances. Therefore, you are hardly ever able to follow them through so that you can connect any particular insight or auspicious event with the “originating” distraction. I can quite honestly compare such distractions with, say, the distracting thought that might take you from a familiar train of thought into another new mental territory. The distracting elements are exaggerated, however, because of your joint misunderstandings on the subject. The visitors, for example, are not numerous. In many cases, however, the contact alone opens up different aspects of your own consciousness in response. It is almost as if you were able to look at our material from your own viewpoint, and yet at other levels to perceive it from your visitors’ viewpoints. That adds to the richness of the material, for you bring to the sessions not only your own experience, but the sensed experience of others.

Give us a moment.... The simple event of Ruburt reading Hoyle’s book: Ruburt began reading certain ideas with which he is not yet consciously familiar. Some of those ideas, however, were picked up in California. My last session was in a way—in a way—the result of Ruburt’s begrudging decision to “take time out to read the book.” It got his attention. I am aware of his emotional ideas, of course, and to an important degree I am free of his prejudices, but more than that, in certain terms, my consciousness is not limited, so that I can take from Ruburt’s understanding his good comprehension of where science is, and then tell you where an enlightened science might go.

More important, I can tell you that atoms, for example, are primarily consciousness. Objects are the result of a specialized perception. I can perceive your objects as objects, or not—but the true nature of reality must come from a study of consciousness.
