“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I said I must deal with the situation according to your individual and joint understanding at any given time. In some periods, for example, certain methods will work better than others. It is natural enough in stressful situations to fluctuate, so that when you have been largely in a Framework 1 reference, I often give you advice geared to it, while allowing you avenues out of it into Framework 2. The morning suggestions are Framework 2 openers, so to speak.

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.

Framework 1 always concentrates upon impediments. There is something to be conquered, and force must be used. Early man’s identification with the natural world so led him to feel a part of it that he did experience a kind of being-with the universe in a personal manner or context. He did not think of impediments in that manner.

Now Ruburt is a part of the world. Our books are a part of the culture. There are differences in the world, but those differences merge together to form its character. A sense of identification particularly with the natural world lessens any feelings that you would need defenses against it.

(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.

(Later in the day, Jane said she’d received some very interesting insights—possibly from Seth—about her mystical nature as it reacted to and with our world. She described them to me at the time, but I cannot recall her material clearly enough to note it here. I did suggest that she might write something about it herself, and at least before tomorrow night’s session.)
