“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last Thursday afternoon as I lay down for my customary nap before supper, I had an experience that was new for me: I’ve been meaning to write it up, so this place will serve as a record. As Jane and I have decided to do lately, I began giving myself suggestions about increased sales of her books. I was very comfortably ensconced on our couch. As I gave the suggestions I abruptly realized that they seemed to be penetrating—what?—some sort of barrier or limit that I’d usually assumed marked the limits of ordinary conscious awareness. Rooms ordinarily alien or unknown to me seemed to open up, although in a very concentrated focus, as say from the beam of a flashlight. But I knew that the suggestions had penetrated as never before, and I thought they had reached their goal in Framework 2 in a way that I could be aware of. The sensation was brief but unmistakable, and very enjoyable. It happened again a few moments later. Then I fell asleep.

(Attached to this session [see page 76] is the carbon of the suggestions I wrote up recently about reaching Framework 2 through suggestion and faith.

Until the very recent past, his body in a way was overdisciplined, so that it maintained a fairly stable but rigid framework. Certain postures were allowed, certain motions, and not others, as if Ruburt operated his body as though it were a puppet, keeping it in certain ritualized motions by holding the strings too tightly.

Your statements (of suggestion re Frameworks 1 and 2) are excellent, and should be read over.

(10:41.) If your goals fit in with overall natural purposes, you can do anything at all with your consciousness, while still maintaining ordinary contact in Framework 1. (Whispering:) I suggest that perhaps once a day in as creatively playful a way as possible, without trying too hard, in naps or when you are reading your statements, or anytime, to simply try to get the feeling of Framework 2.

When you were working with sales the other day, you felt that contact (as described). You felt motion happening. Sometimes, perhaps, when Ruburt is listening to music he likes on his radio, let him try to get the feeling of Framework 2 again, without trying too hard, and imagine himself dancing, anyway he likes. This does not have to be long or involved.

He must avoid contradictions, while at the same time not putting his normal walking into some distant future. You must believe that in Framework 2 all of the necessary procedures involved in his normal walking are now happening, and believe that improvements and obvious states of that process will occur in Framework 1. The evidence will appear in Framework 1 as you believe it. At the same time, however, you must not be ever-checking Ruburt’s condition for the evidence.

Any other ways that Ruburt can increase his daily enjoyment will also help. The cooking efforts, the dishes, have benefits that do not show beside those you are familiar with. If you do follow my suggestions concerning Framework 2, given this evening, your own experiences will lead to other creative ideas involving Ruburt’s condition, sales, and creative activity.

As a child, you are immersed in Framework 2. Along the way you are taught that it is unrealistic to have any kind of faith unless physical evidence is behind it, but then, of course, you are not working with faith at all.

The fact that you even sent books to artists and art institutions shows that you have changed your attitudes in Framework 1, thereby opening resources in Framework 2 that did not exist, practically speaking, earlier. Many artists have strong psychic leanings, whether or not they admit them. The Cézanne book will have more effect on the people that you sent it to than they realize, or may be apparent at this time, because you are uniting two strong forces—the artistic and creative ones. You should get some excellent responses, though some people will not want their names used.

You have made your first strong impression in Framework 2, however, in certain fashions, for it is the first time you have personally contacted people about these books in any concerted manner. That change of attitude is vastly important.

The exercise I told Ruburt to do about dancing can also trigger responses on his part in ways now impossible to expect. All of the resources, the endless resources on Framework 2 are available to you, and you will use them in many areas, but you must trigger them through desire and intent, with the faith and belief that they are indeed available at your command, in the area in which you are interested.

End of session, except that you can also suggest that you become acquainted with, or visit, Framework 2 while in the dream state, and remember the event. With your focus now, you should have decent results. Remember applying the creativity to Ruburt’s condition, and to increasing daily enjoyment. A small note: you did not free your desire in terms of sales, either. You wanted the books to go so far and no further, because you did not trust your own abilities to handle the situation if the books did really well. My heartiest regards and a fond good evening.
