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.

Negative beliefs have to be inserted there with great repetitiveness before you meet their physical results. To that extent also, energy is not neutral, as is often said, to be used for good or evil, for example. Energy is a positive force, ever-inclining toward creativity and fulfillment.

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.

(9:43.) He can help out with the cooking, or make special dishes or whatever (as she did today). This makes him feel more a part of normal living, and sets his own creative mechanisms more vigorously into new directions. The suggestions you gave him are excellent.

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.

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.

If I try too specifically to help Ruburt become consciously aware of methods he uses naturally in his creative work, he is apt to get too detailed in his physical efforts, where the creative activity you have begun of itself can carry itself along in physical areas if you allow it to.

As Ruburt tries more physical activity even in the house, the creative abilities will automatically trigger certain processes so that he finds himself mentally concerned for example with what he will cook, or what cupboard he will wash, or whatever. Those thoughts can trigger unconscious muscular activity that will indeed make physical performance easier.

The peace of mind will enrich his creative abilities—and that will automatically minimize whatever fears he has that physical activity would cut down on his creativity.

Your own creativity being applied in this new fashion will also show its results in your painting and writing, for it adds a new cast, not only to your understanding of creativity, but to its application.

Some of the material in this session is extremely valuable in the handling of health problems, because of its clues in rousing the creative abilities from one area of life to another. The great thrust of creative abilities, utilized in the health area, will automatically bring Ruburt flexibility. Before, his condition was the one area in which he was not creative, as far as his flexibility was concerned.

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....”
