“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Oftentimes he was not sure what his next book would be, but overall he never doubted there would be a next book. He did not imagine impediments that might rise to prevent a next book being written—nor did he doubt his ability to write one, or any number of books. At times he might think of writing in one area or another, but his imagination did not set up barriers: it was always receptive to new ideas, casting about for new experiences, consciously involved in the process of creativity.

He creates impediments then as in the other area he creates success. To a lesser extent this applies to your own approach also. Creativity is involved. Let us look then at the third area, for at one time you both also to some extent imagined impediments, changed your approach, and found new results. That area is the financial one, that indeed does now seem to come with an almost magical ease.

(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.

(10:10.) There is no difference between the idea of a book and the idea of a normally walking body. It is simply that in one area Ruburt, and you secondarily, have insisted upon relying upon the conventional levels of existence. Therefore, your confidence was undermined.

In between, Frank’s help was quite necessary. His assurances were important, and quite valid. They helped Ruburt considerably. To some extent, however, they limited improvement in that area. Ruburt must now take the lead. Frank’s knowledge can still be helpful, but it should not be allowed, now, to curtail improvements, or limit them, by conventional knowledge of what muscles and joints can or cannot do, or by projecting any particular procedure—as, for example, Ruburt will do this or that, before this or that.

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.

When Ruburt writes a book the paragraphs take care of themselves. It is his way not to concentrate upon details. He does not wonder how he constructs a paragraph. In the area of his physical condition, however, he does concentrate upon details: how to get up, how to go to the bathroom, how to do thus-and-so—an uncharacteristic mode of behavior.

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.
