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.

Ruburt thought of the seminar, or at least of seeing some such people, but then became discouraged. Nor have you helped in that kind of creative endeavor, Joseph, though you have of course in other areas.

Let me give you something perhaps more specific. Your remark about doing the dishes, and Ruburt’s subsequent use of the stool, led to the breaking up of associations earlier connected with dishes. It allowed earlier pleasant associations to rise to the surface instead. That made possible some further physical relaxation, more pleasant thoughts, and gave him some breathing space.

When Ruburt feels blue he does of course show it, yet he is still worried that such moods will weaken your own faith, and the same applies to you. Your thoughts are far more important than any physical act in terms of changing a situation, for only your thoughts will allow you to do so.

I would like Ruburt to make a red star each time during the day he finds himself thinking pleasant or optimistic thoughts, and a large one each day or time he feels a strong surge of faith or exuberance. The game, of course, is to get as many stars as possible, and to improve in that respect from day to day. He is not to count the negative thoughts, for that is not the kind of concentration we want.

Physically there is nothing wrong with Ruburt’s body, except constantly applied tension, partially caused by negative habits of thought.
