“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These were interruptions, and because of your attitudes you thought of them as troublesome interruptions: surely you would have sailed through your work otherwise, or performed chores that you wanted to accomplish; and so because you still do not really understand the effectiveness of Framework 2, those visits added to your sense of concern and hassles with time. Framework 2 knows of all of your purposes, as I have mentioned. The visitors took Ruburt’s mind off of his condition, provided new stimulus, provided reassurance, and allowed his body to continue its improvements.

The same sort of thing used to apply in a different way, but does no longer, when Ruburt would see you frown, for example, and would then ignore an obvious cheerful mood on your part, still interpreting your behavior in the light of the frown.

You might make a small sign: “Beloved stranger: we are working. Please do not disturb us.” You could add to that “Please write a note,” and buy yourselves one of those contraptions for your door. (A mailbox?) Or you might decide yourselves upon some hour of the day or evening when such a guest would be least bothersome. You could decide never to see a guest during the day, for example, and inform such people to come back at such and such a time.

You could decide to see such people at lunch hour, and no other time, and put that in your note: “Come back at noon.” You could, therefore, make several different kinds of decisions that would give you a free mind for large portions of the time. You would not be rejecting guests at the door, per se, but telling them to return at such and such an hour, or to leave a note. You could compose several such signs, so that one might read: “We are not seeing any strangers today at all,” but there are many variations that you could settle for.

Now: Ruburt himself hit upon the “heroic impulses”—and what he meant was this: that ideally speaking the individual’s impulses were inner directional signals that, followed, would automatically lead to the greatest fulfillment and development.

Give us a moment.... You are both apt to have rather absolute ideas at times. These sessions now are helpful. There is no reason, however, why in the future you cannot freely take a month off from sessions in order to quicken your work on “Unknown”. That would not mean, for example, that Ruburt was not using his abilities. As far as impulses are concerned, most likely Ruburt could have three or four excellent sessions a week at certain periods in your lives, and there would be periods of vacation also. Often, however, you both have a tendency there to think in black-and-white terms.

It is advantageous from many standpoints to alter your hours, and some alterations do have the advantage of automatically providing solitude. You both seem to like regular hours and habits, however, so any such alterations, to be effective in a large manner, would have to be worked out so that you had a definite framework to rely upon.

Everything that I have said should further help Ruburt, so that he feels more at ease. Remember the use of the playful creative abilities, because again they can lead you to further ideas that would trigger unanticipated positive results in Ruburt’s condition, as per your chair idea, the table in the kitchen, and so forth.
