“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane is recovering extremely well from her tooth extractions. Rather to my surprise she suggested having a session tonight, so we thought we’d see how things went.)

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.

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.

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.

You are learning. The simple change of dish routine shows you how a change of attitude can break a negative pattern overnight. The pattern was actually broken by the simple remark that you made earlier, that led Ruburt to think of the stool for dishes.

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 stool at the sink reminded Ruburt that he could indeed use the stool in other areas of the kitchen, so he thought of cooking, and to that extent his thoughts became more naturally attuned. He expected more motion of himself, even though walking specifically was not involved. That kind of stimulus, encouraged, and not forgotten or let go, will set up a new set of mental habits, and literally with no effort, as suddenly he finds enjoyment doing the dishes.

Three years ago there was no Cézanne or James books. There was no evidence of them—no stacks of paper, no contract. James had been thought of, but Ruburt certainly had no idea he would, or could, possibly write a book on painting.

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 enjoyment, again, automatically means that for that time he is not worrying—and beside that, the physical activity gives his muscles more to do, and gives him a sense of physical accomplishment. These issues and processes then act as excellent feedback, and reverse the negative habits that before operated.
