“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Someone may plan an airplane trip. Everything will be arranged—the last detail taken care of. The person may take great precautions to see that the plane is not missed. Persons may have been contacted to care for the house during the time of absence. Children may have been sent to camp, neighbors assigned to care for pets, and every logical situation cared for.

Let us say that this particular plane may well crash, and in fact does. After all of this person’s planning, hard work and effort, at the last moment everything seems to go wrong. Nothing seems right. The children do not leave for camp in time. One of the animals runs away. A ticket is lost. Our individual comes down with indigestion, or a headache. Lo and behold—for while everything seems so poorly, our friend’s life is being saved, for he misses his plane.

(9:58.) Give us a moment.... Framework 2 contains all the dreams, plans, and thoughts of all human beings of any time. There, the spacious present is operative. There, it makes no difference if you have had an undesirable physical condition for a day or a lifetime. There, you are not impeded by the past.

If your beliefs in Framework 1 make you assign great power to the past, then you impede your progress. I have said many times that spontaneity knows its own order, and I am speaking of true spontaneity. I say this because often anger, for example, may seem spontaneous—and may be—but is more often the explosive, finally forced expression of reactions long withheld or repressed.

(This morning, for the first time in well over a year, at the very least, Jane spontaneously decided to do the dishes after breakfast while standing up at the sink.)

What you have seen lately are just beginning sentences in Ruburt’s condition. The body intends to follow through. In the past you put into Framework 2 your intent, individually and jointly. It was ill-formed, not certain, cluttered by questions like “If I am well, should I go on tour or shouldn’t I?” Or “Will I lose working time?” or whatever. It was not clear intent, really, on either of your parts.

(A note: As Seth said, the Framework 2 concepts, once initiated, do seem to accelerate almost of their own volition. Since I personally have begun working with it, new applications for its use seem to pop up from everywhere—natural enough, I suppose, yet I feel an impetus there as though I’ve finally found something that will be of immense use in daily life. It will be interesting to see what develops. Last night as we were retiring, I thought of a good use for the Framework 2 data: to use it to insure that the books reach the greatest audience possible—this without worrying about the number of copies sold, the money involved, etc. All those things should follow naturally from the original idea. After all, I told Jane, getting the books distributed is our main goal; now it would be great to see that happen without the impediments we’ve put in the way all this time.
