“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: you know generally how associations work in your own mind, seemingly bringing memories or images to you out of context—that is, not following the usual patterns of time or cause and effect.

Associations are highly personal, bringing together in thought and in dreams highly individualistic constructs in which actual events and fantasized ones come together. In Framework 2 those freer associative patterns are everywhere potent. The associative processes of the world, with their literally infinite capacities for creative constructs, are there available. Your world is first of all a mental one. The organization of Framework 2 is then highly associative.

All of that is known in Framework 2. There, personal and world associations form their own kinds of patterns. There, your thoughts are as actual as physical events, for the physical events could not occur without that inner activity. You have conscious intents. These act as your directional signals. They automatically pull to you what you need from Framework 2, drawing out all of the associations that you need in order to have certain events occur.

Your intents in Framework 2 will automatically attract those whose own intents will correspond with your own plans in whatever way. The same is obviously true for others from their standpoints—loose lines, so to speak, or loose maps for action, or patterns for action, begin to form. This kind of interweaving occurs constantly, so that no relationship of the minutest kind exists without it.

You were quite correct: it was not coincidence, for example, that you heard from Bill Macdonnel just after the Burt Ryerson story. The Spain connection with your friend the traveler, Carlos (Smith), and with the question of foreign translation of the books. There are obviously many patterns—some prominent and some subordinate, but they all work, often invisibly, adding up to seeming coincidences.
