“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(But the whole thing seems like a good plan. and we plan to do the best we can with it. Above all, it appears to be vital that we have faith and confidence that the body knows what it’s doing, and that Jane’s healing processes continue. It seems that this attitude is the key to everything else. We wanted Seth to comment this evening.)

Now: in Framework 1 you often use too much force to get what you want. You often ignore imagination, and believe in making things work. You try to force events. That is what Ruburt was trying to do, say, several days ago. Understand that per se, basically, Ruburt has nothing against walking. Not walking well in the past served certain purposes. One was to avoid distractions, as you know—distractions often being things he would otherwise like to do.

Sunday was somewhat of an example of the advantageous way to handle things. He felt the impulse to do the floors with your sweeper (while I was mowing grass) and because of our Saturday session he ignored the arm difficulty enough to do the kitchen. That stimulus naturally led him to do the bathroom, and to plan to do the bedroom. For that time, he enjoyed the activity. Several times he felt like walking, and he walked for brief periods three or four times. Sunday is not considered a “workday,” however, so it was easier for him to follow through on those impulses. But the body was overall stimulated, enjoyed the activity, and felt accomplishment. His mind was refreshed. He felt somewhat physically competent.

(9:57.) That kind of activity would automatically and naturally stimulate him to further walking. He gets upset and irritated with the chair, because now he is getting around the house more, and realizes that walking would be the natural way to do so—where before he was content to be in one place.

The impulse to do the floors, however, creatively stimulated Framework 2 activity. This is very difficult to explain, so that you avoid contradictions, but in the larger sense (underlined four times) no effort is required.

I do not expect you to suddenly switch all of your orientation in this situation to Framework 2—yet again I have hope (louder) of gently enticing you both to take great-enough advantage of Framework 2, so that you have more confidence and experience with its qualities.

When you do the morning suggestions then, keep Framework 2 in mind, for you are placing your intents there. The writing-down of feelings and any subsequent pendulum follow-through on specific feelings or events allows you to deal with necessary Framework 1 activity.

I want you to keep Framework 2 in your minds—for that reminder alone can help you understand that your needs are being met in Framework 2, and the physical results will indeed appear. If you do not believe that, then you must deal alone with the set of Framework 1 facts. At the end of a week, say, as you look over Ruburt’s feelings, you will find that they do fall in several categories, and then I will discuss those categories.

(I’ve written down a couple of questions for Wednesday’s session, and will list them there. They have to do with the way Jane reacts to the world through her mystical nature —something we seldom consider, if ever; and any possible inhibiting factors in her behavior that might have been set up after the psychic business started. I found myself wondering if she wanted to be more active in the world —through tours, speaking, classes, or whatever, but that she’d inhibited such desires because she felt I wasn’t interested in them, didn’t want to spend the time on them that would be required, etc. I wondered if Jane’s sitting on such desires, unexpressed, could have resulted in some of her fears of scorn and criticism, etc.
