“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We had no questions for Seth in particular, hoping that he would just continue where he’d left off last session. Jane felt there was much more to come on Frameworks 1 and 2, etc.)

To Ruburt that is taken for granted—for there he operates extraordinarily well, mixing and merging the realities of Frameworks 1 and 2. The practical results of course appear in Framework 1, while the real creativity takes place in Framework 2. Understand that I make these divisions for simplicity’s sake, for the realities are merged. In “trying to get better,” Ruburt has taken impediments for granted, not only generally but specifically. In his books he lives in and with the present. Manuscripts that did not jell are simply forgotten, so he is supported in those terms by a background of success.

There were other issues that have been mentioned, concerning you and the marketplace, but Ruburt’s creativity straddled poor beliefs finally. He stopped looking for financial impediments. He did not worry about money. Just not worrying about it immediately began to give you some financial gain, for in Framework 2 conditions were reversed, and the imagined impediments were not projected into the future. Finally, in Framework 1 those gains began to show: the evidence, in other words. (Amused:) Then, in Framework 1, you had some success to bank upon.

He felt that your needs and desires would be fairly reasonable; that is, he approved of them. He did not think you would suddenly become ostentatious, for example. Again: Frameworks 1 and 2 merged, and the beneficial results began with a change of ideas and intents in Framework 2.

(9:45.) Now let us look at Framework 2. Your ideas come and go effortlessly, without impediments, with a sense of ease that is taken for granted. Your freedom to think is so transparent and natural that you are scarcely aware of it. That freedom comes from Framework 2, as does the great creativity it makes possible. So in certain terms everyone exists in Framework 2. Many people, however, live out their lives, practically speaking, in Framework 1. Ruburt’s physical condition has been most troublesome to you both, for in that area you have stressed impediments and felt a lack of control. Many people, however, experience such difficulty in all areas of their lives, with nothing in their own experience that they can trust to give them evidence for a greater reality or control over their own destinies.

Generally speaking, however, in handling Ruburt’s condition over the years, until lately you have concentrated your working efforts in Framework 1, while in all other areas you at least had a good foothold in Framework 2.

Framework 1 deals with predictable behavior, predictable results, and dislikes surprises. In all other areas of your lives you have prided yourselves on the unpredictability, the creative ground-breaking concepts. You forgot ideas of being practical in terms of Framework 1, and as a result of course your creativity became highly practical, and in the most profound terms.

You are both doing very well. This information is meant to accelerate that progress through clear understanding, and help you grasp hold of your creativity in this area as well. You can continue, and Ruburt’s improvement will continue in Framework 1, but you can also accelerate even further, and grab hold of the threshold in Framework 2, which in your terms will let Ruburt improve as easily as now your money comes.

Saying this, I do not want to make you impatient with Ruburt’s progress, for he is naturally improving. He can do more than naturally improve, however, if you understand what I am saying, and does not confuse the rules of the two frameworks. That is highly important.

In Framework 2, extranatural help, energy, impetus, and knowledge are “naturally” available. This should be apparent from the very fact of our sessions and from the nature of Ruburt’s writing. In Framework 2, then, the same kind of extraordinary help is available in terms of physical condition. That help is blocked, if in Framework 1 you constantly imagine impediments or concentrate upon past poor performance, or project such performance into the future.

In a manner of speaking, then, supernatural help is available, but only when your own beliefs are clear enough so that the help is not blocked. By supernatural I mean the source from which nature springs, and Framework 2 represents the medium in which the natural and the source of the natural merge in a creative gestalt. That gestalt forms your physical being. Nature, without nature’s source, would not last a moment.

In Ruburt’s dream last night, he was dancing. His physical body carries that memory. The actual muscles involved were rehearsing. The dream in Framework 2 is as much a definite plan for a normally walking body as any Oversoul Seven that did result in the book. The original Seven did come from a dream, from a drama occurring in Framework 2—but there were no negative beliefs to block it, no habits of erecting impediments. Other dreams of Ruburt’s health did not materialize because their creativity was blocked by an insistence upon following, in that regard, the most limiting of Framework 1’s premises.

There is, incidentally, a Framework 3 and a Framework 4, in the terms of our discussion—but all such labels are, again, only for the sake of explanation. The realities are merged. A brief point (with some humor): When you moved here you wanted to make “a fashion statement” as per your television commercials, where the gentlemen only cut hair. You are more knowledgeable now, but at the time Ruburt did restrict his abilities, pull in his horns, and to some extent with your implied consent. Those in the neighborhood would know you were not to be bothered. You did not go out to parties. You were, generally speaking, to be left alone.

Frank represents your belief that you must hold on to someone at least medically oriented, if unconventionally so, in Framework 1—a needed crutch, and he has been of some help. He has also however reinforced your conventional beliefs that muscles and joints must behave thus-and-so, that so much time must pass for such processes to take place; he helped you set up a situation that served handily, for you could not leave Framework 1, nor yet really accept wholeheartedly Framework 2.

At this stage I do not want Ruburt to compare his physical performance with yours at all. That would be detrimental. In the physical flexibility area, however, you are operating in Framework 2 yourself, and so you can be of great help by catching Ruburt when he projects negatively on the one hand, and on the other by leading him toward the more creative habits of thought that are your own about your body.

You can also help by trying to utilize your natural feelings about flexibility on Ruburt’s behalf. This must be done however in Framework 2—in other words, in quiet moments when you recognize when you are dealing at another level, so that you feel no contradiction with Ruburt’s Framework 1 behavior. Such thoughts will be received by Ruburt in Framework 2, and will then, with his present intent, begin to alter Framework 1 through direct action.

He has been trying too hard to some extent in Framework 1, where the spontaneity of motion in Framework 2 will allow for the more or less spontaneous accomplishment of detailed motion in Framework 1. I want to emphasize the importance of the improvements that are taking place in Framework 1. These sessions, however, will result in an acceleration and ease, if the sessions are put to use.

By way of comment, and in reference to this discussion only, without taking other issues into consideration, your own parents for example operated largely in Framework 1 for their entire lives. In portions of our work and your own, you have sometimes operated in Framework 3. Ruburt’s initial Idea Construction experience momentarily propelled him into Framework 4, where indeed enough energy, creativity, and power was generated to change his life beneficially, and open his mind to higher levels of understanding and knowledge.

The actual time involved in that experience was minute. In a way—underlined twice—that kind of time use represents the kind of threshold I use in my communications in sessions. If you followed Framework 1’s beliefs, the sessions would never have begun.

(Pause.) I am trying to think of an analogy.... That experience of Ruburt’s in time terms would be like a concentrated time pill: there are pills you take that are released in timed sequences. So everything I am saying, in a manner of speaking, was made possible in that experience. In the time framework of Framework 1, the time period could not contain such accelerated mental or psychic motion, so it appears in your terms of time during our continuous session. My personality could not be “defined” or contained within that initial experience either—so you see, strung out through the years, what in other terms I “said,” or “was,” at the time of Ruburt’s idea construction experience.

Probabilities are valid time terminals. Ruburt’s accelerated state at that “time” led him to a threshold of experience that could be translated into Framework 1, but could not be sustained here in terms of ordinary behavior. The bridge personality was a psychological result, appearing in time, yet apart from it. Framework 2, however, is quite familiar to you, as stated, in your creative work, and most other areas of your lives, including your own physical experience of your body.

The only place where this has not been applied is Ruburt’s physical condition. I hope that these sessions will allow you to move rather easily now into Framework 2 in that regard. I have given you important hints in that direction, and I will also see that Ruburt has help in the dream state.

Our sessions came from outside of time in that fashion. So do Ruburt’s books. So did your home. So did your existence—and so can Ruburt’s flexibility. Again, I will see that you do have help in Framework 2, and in the dream state.
