“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane told me as we sat for the session tonight that she’d had some hints from Seth that the session would be on faith. I mentioned two questions: 1. Some comments on my dream about Louise Stamp recently, and the series of connections Jane had made, based upon it. It sounded very much like another instance of the workings of Framework 2; 2. Some comments on my recent dream involving my meeting my parents in the great marble hall, as I called it. I thought it might represent psychic contact with them, as well as other things.

(Both dreams are on record in my own dream notebook. Jane herself wrote up the Stamp dream and its many connections. Most interesting... Now she told me that Seth’s recent prediction that her eyes would show noticeable improvement shortly has evidently come to pass; she wanted me to note that here. Her vision, while not normal in all respects yet, has greatly improved. And consistently, to her delight. Jane is also recovering from the tooth challenges very well.)

Without it, there would be no family groups, animal or human, or civilizations or governments. It may seem that the retribution of law holds societies together and keeps, for example, criminal elements down, so that you have operating processes that insure more or less stable living conditions. The laws, however, are necessarily based upon man’s faith that those laws will indeed be largely followed. Otherwise the laws would be useless.

You cannot be alive without faith, yet faith can be distorted. There is faith in good, but there is also faith in “evil.” In usual terms faith takes it for granted that a certain desired end will be achieved, even though the means may not be known. In usual terms, again, there is no direct evidence, otherwise you would have no need for faith.

The young woman, Frances (Gardella), who wrote Ruburt, with no evidence was certain she would be followed—tomorrow if not today. I want to point out that faith is not all that unusual, but a prime element in your life. You can have faith that you will be ill. This should be obvious, because for example there are healthy people also, with no evidence of any disease, who have utter faith that disease is hidden within them, or swiftly approaching.

Later he wonders what happened, that his life was saved, and his plans altered at the last moment. Our friend wanted to live and had faith that he would. In spite of his own conscious lack of knowledge, he was brought to operate according to the information available in Framework 2, though he was not aware of it. He lost his ticket—a stupid error, it seemed. The lives and events of all those involved with his trip—the neighbors, the children, and so forth—all of those issues were arranged in Framework 2, so that while the events seemed most unpleasant, they were highly beneficial.

Again, it is imperative that Ruburt realize there is absolutely no conflict, and that his creative work will fulfill itself in certain ways that would be most difficult to achieve otherwise, if not impossible, practically speaking.

(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.
