“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.

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.

I remind you often of the behavior of muscles, and so forth, so that you will not be suddenly upset when Ruburt has bad days, or discomfort, because I realize that that has been largely your framework of reference, and it is of no benefit for me to ignore your beliefs in that matter—and what I have said applies. You are dealing with—in a way, now—two separate sets of “facts,” and each work, so when you insist upon emphasizing the facts of Framework 1, then there is apt to be soreness as muscles readjust, uncomfortable periods, and rules that must be followed, like walking every hour, or walking at least once a day or face feelings of hopelessness, or whatever.

Ruburt’s body can perform better. There are no impediments to prevent it. His arms can comfortably release themselves, and his trunk, and in perfect rhythm with his legs, knees, and feet. These ideas, accepted, work automatically, though some time in Framework 1 would be involved necessarily; but the releasing ease and the gradual overall improvement would be quite perceivable.
