“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Several times this week, Ruburt imagined the two of you on a trip to Florida, with a trailer by the ocean; both of you working, of course, but quite happily. He began by thinking in practical terms in Framework 1: you could—could—do it now, though it would be difficult; but you could go to Florida. If you had to you could even fix it so Ruburt could eat mostly in the car, or in a van. So his thoughts went.

The first thoughts, with their emphasis on detail, were still important, convincing him that such a trip was possible, even under present conditions. He was then free in his second imagining. Physically his ideas of motion, however, moved from the house—highly important. There was a creative use of suggestion—the second, of course, far better than the first group of thoughts.

(10:02.) The thoughts of the Florida trip offered no present contradictions because he knew he was not leaving for any trip tomorrow. The fantasy, however, involved him in motion, aroused emotion, and instantly broadened his mental outlook. The days he had those fantasies he operated better physically here. (With emphasis:) Someone who is thinking of going to Florida can get to the bathroom far more quickly. The comparison is ludicrous.

It comes naturally to him, and even done in Framework 1’s limited manner, it is beneficial. It would even help if the two of you discussed such a trip as a definite possibility, but without any definite time period involved. Work done in Framework 2, however, is out of all proportion to the effort expended. That is why the taped suggestions are important. An alternative could involve two definite periods of self-suggestion a week, prepared for ahead of time, with a specific physical area chosen in the same way that you choose certain areas for your writing or painting.
