“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In recent days we’ve had several conversations about Frameworks 1 and 2, and these have apparently begun to show results. I think the suggestions about the two frameworks that we’ve worked out are very close to the suggestions that Seth implied we should use in the hypnosis experiments.

Now: as I told you, Framework 2 is the creative medium that is responsible for physical life.

It is not true, however, that positive and negative feelings and beliefs “take” there with equal vitality. It is true that your beliefs form your reality; however you do have a certain leeway, in that those desires that lead to fulfillment and positive creativity are more in keeping with the natural leanings of Framework 2 itself.

Relatively speaking, then, these “take” more quickly, and accelerate in a more direct fashion. Limiting beliefs have to meet certain resistances, for they are not in keeping with the overall creative framework. It is easier for a body to be healthy than ill, and in the terms of this discussion, for example, old age does not basically bring with it any particular diseases or susceptibility.

Practically speaking, now, negative beliefs often finally catch up with an individual, leading to various diseases. I want to emphasize however that Framework 2 is not a neutral medium.

Your suggestion about the bathroom (sitting down) is another instance of creative action which takes. Ruburt’s previous position about the dishes was black or white. He would make no concessions. The more you enjoy life, and your daily moments, the less difficulty you will be in in any area, for your thoughts become naturally pleasant, and naturally attract good to you from Framework 2.

The mental patterns are all-important, yet you see you have initiated some new ones creatively, using both Frameworks 1 and 2. You are correct: the more activities of a natural kind that Ruburt performs, whether or not he can do them on his feet, the better off he is, and you are. This signals what you want into Framework 2, and those activities will indeed be done better. It was, you see—I am explaining simply—too great a leap, if you will forgive me, to expect him to walk easily up his dentist’s steps at this point. His faith could not take that leap. What you have begun, however—if you keep to this frame of mind—will indeed accelerate his physical improvement, for his mind will already have made necessary changes.

There are no impediments in Framework 2, then, to desires that are natural, creative, and that promote life. It is far easier, basically speaking now, for the body to heal itself than for it not to. Only beliefs otherwise, constantly and steadily applied, can impede that progress.

I believe that you are finally beginning, both of you, the last few days how to get a hold of your natural creativity in connection with Ruburt’s situation, and to apply it to that end. If you continue then you attract from Framework 2 everything that you possibly need, and other areas of your lives will also improve, for to whatever extent they are somewhat shadowed by your attitudes resulting from Ruburt’s condition.

The mood, however, and the results that you achieved today, if sustained, draws to you from all of your experience and from the vast potential of Framework 2 those body events, healing situations, dreams, impulses, or whatever is needed to right Ruburt’s condition.

Faith itself then becomes an active ingredient in your lives in that regard. That is why your suggestions of today are so vital, stating that you do have faith that Ruburt’s condition is now in the process of being healed in Framework 2, and that the results will show in Framework 1. It is important that you realize that the healing is now taking place in Framework 2 whether or not you see immediate results in any given day or not. That is where faith comes in.

Give us a moment.... I hope over a period of time to explain Framework 2 even more clearly—and still for now your touch with creativity is your best method, for it comes naturally to each of you. And used as you have just begun using it, it can show you through action some issues most difficult to describe. It sets into motion all kinds of not only possible but rousing sentiments that of themselves have a restoring quality.

A day like today is now beneficial then from many standpoints. Once you allow your faith to take some root, then you yield far more than you sow in Framework 2, and in results in Framework 1. Positively, you see that kind of acceleration in Ruburt’s work, and if you give yourselves a chance you will see it also as far as Ruburt’s physical condition is concerned. The body tries. It continues its own processes toward healing. You have only to encourage these, and to have faith in the body’s abilities and intents. Unless you have questions, that will be it for this evening.

There is of course an important give-and-take between the two frameworks and between mental and physical action. Mental and physical actions each stimulate each other. You think of what you do. You visualize yourself at it naturally and effortlessly. Nobody has to tell you to do it.

He has a strong constitution, for he left that alone. End of session, but I will have more to say concerning creativity and Frameworks 1 and 2. My heartiest regards, and a creative good evening.

(10:42 PM. Lately I’ve been suggesting to Jane that when she finds herself hassling something she reminds herself that she has “a simple, profound faith that whatever needs to be done for an improvement in my health can take place in Framework 2. There are no impediments in Framework 2. Its creative workings there can show themselves in Framework 1, in my improved physical condition. I need not be concerned with details in any way....”
