The organization in Framework 2 is entirely different than your ordinary experience. Events are put together in a different fashion. Neither Miss Dineen or the young woman planned the physical events directly as they occurred. They did not think of detail, and details were arranged more beautifully and precisely than would be possible in conscious physical terms. The details just seemed to fall into place.

(10:19.) This sort of thing happens frequently with Miss Dineen, and consciously she is drawn toward areas of town, for example, in which certain individuals are shopping or strolling, so that while she visits few fashionable establishments, she enjoys a series of seemingly unrelated, pleasant encounters with strangers.

I am trying to make conscious to you methods that you use beautifully unconsciously and well in other areas of your living. Our young woman selectively interpreted her experience with the interpretation of names, for example, as given this evening—but that selectivity led her exactly where she wanted to go, and in certain terms she actually did ignore any data that did not lead her in a desired direction. So, while it may seem impractical, you do the same thing when you selectively pay attention to Ruburt’s improvements and selectively ignore areas of difficulty. You build a new orientation, which then becomes the actual one.

In areas of conflict, you have to learn to do this consciously while in areas of success you have done it unconsciously all along. Many of Ruburt’s joints, particularly in the neck, feet, and knees, are loosening considerably. Their motion is all connected, of course. This causes the muscles to change, and in particular their tension is altered. When his weight is on his feet, when they are ready the joints and feet try new positions—that at the time they might not be able to maintain.

It is impossible to be consciously aware of all such motions. There has been new activity in the knees, in those joints that would allow him to kick out in such a fashion (gesturing with leg). This can cause some feelings of instability when he is walking—but the body must also try out its positions when he is on his feet. If you concentrate upon the improvements you will see that some sensations that at first appear uncomfortable are not detrimental at all, but a part of the body’s recovery. He favored certain portions of the neck and shoulders. The tension on the neck tendons is loosening, and this definitely affects the eyes. Placing your desire in Framework 2 will automatically, however, minimize stages of change, and automatically take care of many details in a much more pleasant fashion. Again, obviously, suggestion plays an important part.

That James however is, of course, as he says the William James that he was —and yet is no more the same William James, as the child and the adult are one person and yet are not. Consciousness can be put together in many ways, and you use your own consciousness in ways that presently at least escape you, even though the results may be quite objective. The encounter and Miss Dineen and your friends, again, is a case in point. The meeting was real in your terms, yet the manipulations of consciousness behind it were largely unknown.

In those terms James is aware of the Hal connection. It is only because so many of the manipulations of your own consciousness are unknown to you in life that such issues appear odd.
