“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For him, the area taken up by the fire becomes “dimensionally neutral.” For the time of his walk that space is empty. In a manner of speaking, again, he erases the fire’s practicality, so that it can have no effect.

(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.

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.

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.

You must not be concerned with time, yet you must have the faith that in your terms of time Ruburt’s normal walking will come in an immediate rather than distant future.
