“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In a manner of speaking, the man’s feet touch the ground but they do not touch the fire. The man believes his feet will not be burned. That belief generates certain actions or events, so that practically speaking, while he sees the flames, and perhaps smells the smoke, the heat of the fire will have no effect—because for him its character is changed. He ignores the evidences of his senses.

(9:59.) Give is a moment.... In very ancient times, medicine men had to perform such acts as part of their initiation ceremonies. I am not sure how to explain the process, however. The belief triggers body chemicals in a certain fashion, though the process itself involves an interaction between the air and the chemicals of the body, which form together a protective shield that repels the action of the fire.

They program the interactions within the body, so that certain effects always appear inevitable, when such in basic terms is not always the case, necessarily. You can intrinsically walk on fire, or thrust your hands into the flames, and be unburned. I would not suggest that too many try it, however. The mind and its beliefs are the basic determinants. That firewalker shares his reality with nonfirewalkers, in general terms, but in this one instance the firewalker superimposes a strong counterbelief, and it works

Give us a moment.... In Framework 2, as mentioned, existence is also organized in a completely different fashion than you are used to. In that Framework, the best possible overall conditions for growth are available. Your firewalker seems to be breaking a natural law. He is simply acting according to another belief, but he is being true to his nature, which in this case led him to the desire for such an achievement. In Framework 2, therefore, the nature of each individual actively seeks out its own greatest potential, in the world of Framework 1, practically speaking, in the world where time and space are realities.

Those desires of yours, that are fitting to your nature, will automatically come to pass, unless you block them through disadvantageous beliefs. They cannot be blocked by others. If they seem to be blocked by others, that assumption is incorrect, based on ignorance.

The only impediments are those you impose through your negative beliefs. Because the organization is so different, however, in a way you must forget cause and effect, for things fall into place almost in a circular fashion.

I want to mention again that all kinds of events are involved with Ruburt, for example—physical, psychological, and even social. His improvements of late are excellent, and highly significant. They are the result of the faith you have built up thus far. Do not try to program the improvements. The descriptions given by James in the later part of the book actually apply very well to the creative medium of Framework 2, for your needs are anticipated and automatically provided for, if, again, you do not impede them through contrary beliefs.

In many cases of health problems, energy is actually being applied to block the body’s normal healing processes. This is almost always the result of beliefs that do not fit in with the person’s own best interests. Your social beliefs are of course important here, mass medical beliefs. In a vast number of cases this represents a dilemma of a psychological or psychic nature. It is the body’s attempt to cope in the face of the mind’s confusion.
