“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“But keep your fingers crossed,” I told Jane, “until we get next month’s bill.” Mrs. Trafzer has promised to personally put the proper figures into the computer, thus ending the billing confusion. I mailed her payment this morning, Tuesday.)

The man not only walks, but he walks on fire—to most, a seeming impossibility. It seems to Ruburt that the firewalker must have an instant rapport with Framework 2, that Ruburt does not possess. Ruburt is in fact in constant rapport with Framework 2 when he is writing or psychically involved, and often he has contacts with other frameworks also.

The firewalker’s performance involves one overall clear-cut performance, in which faith has already been achieved, as in Ruburt’s writing, say. In the case of Ruburt’s physical situation, the response from Framework 2 has been immediate. The conscious mind is not able to follow the pieces of the puzzle, so to speak, as it is being put together. A sensation here, another one there, a pull of tendons, a sudden softening of tissue—such matters cannot be consciously interpreted. The response has not been complete, but it has been immediate.

(9:58.) Give us a moment.... I do not want Ruburt to try too hard, but I do want to explain the characteristics of Framework 2 as they interwork with your world.

The timing of such events is outside of your time, but the results appear within it. The intent is to walk normally—not just to improve. Then the improvements lead to that desired end.

The Cézanne book, the show, your own interest in Cézanne, and your own painting abilities are also connected in Framework 2, along with the fact that Cézanne himself had a secondary interest in writing, that fell by the board, so to speak. Your own art interests have always attracted artists to our books in general, through Framework 2’s constant communication. There are individuals who go through many lifetimes with one main interest or desire, attaining finally a culmination that they have sought for. Cézanne was such a one. In those terms, his interests are now the same, but he no longer looks upon his historically known works, but considers them as background pieces, so to speak. He paints in another reality to which his own intent has led him, except that his creativity has opened up so that he no longer feels the same need for isolation.

Remember that the organizations in Framework 2 are different than your own, so you cannot know the means, but trust they will be taken care of. The statement and release of desire is all-important, and some psychological activity on Ruburt’s part has already occurred lately, that will be very important here.

—but you should have further experiences yourselves with Framework 2 before our next session. I believe you can count upon it.

(10:51 PM. I was tempted to ask Seth what life he was referring to, but that would have kept Jane talking longer.)
