“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This is the first session held since the deleted one for November 12. I am feeling quite a bit better; I’ve been painting in the mornings and working in the yard afternoons, doing errands, etc. The only thing that’s suffered has been work on Mass Events, but now I’m gradually moving back into that endeavor also.

Now: How do you get what you want out of Framework 2? You do it by changing over your accounts in whatever areas you are concerned, from the old savings account to the super-account with its nearly double rewards for the same effort. You do not watch for results. You give yourselves, say, six months, and you promise not to withdraw the issue from Framework 2’s account in the meantime. You withdraw the account by worrying about it. You withdraw the account by trying to exert more effort in Framework 1, instead of letting the account take care of itself.

So, when you change one (smiling) certain area of your lives into Framework 2’s account, you do not spend any time worrying about the relatively little interest you received before. It is all a matter of changing your focus in certain areas.

Those feelings must be changed, for they will otherwise apply even if you changed publishers. You must change over that account now. You do this in the same manner that I have just given for Ruburt’s condition. You mentally change your account with Prentice from Framework 1 trial-and-error, a framework which has brought you some good rewards, but not as good interest as you would like. You do not concentrate upon the old, comparatively lesser returns, but you consider the account turned over, where for the same amount of effort your rewards will be far more than doubled.

You do not know what exact financial manipulations will happen to give you your greater interest in your new bank accounts. You simply know the interest will come—because you trust the banking establishment and the country’s intrinsic worth, so you need not wonder or worry about what artistic or editorial or legal or economic facts might be involved to bring about the higher interest that you want from Prentice, because you trust the higher establishment of Framework 2—which holds all accounts.

Ruburt is doing well. The book of love poetry is an excellent idea. You should still help him to trust relaxation, but I want both of you to take this session to heart, so that it can help you accelerate your growing understanding, and bring you more beneficial practical results.

Do you have questions?

(As far as changing our mental accounts re Prentice, I don’t know whether I can bring myself to do that or not, especially after the foreign mess. Tam visits next week, so we may learn more, but at the moment I don’t expect any miraculous results. Seth’s analogy with the bank accounts and Frameworks l and 2 is an excellent one, of course, and in theory at least I agree with it completely.

(I haven’t had a chance to talk it over with Jane yet—not until I get this session typed—but I’d like Seth to talk about the part others play when we, for example, do change over our accounts. That is, I need information on how our changeovers will affect others, perhaps leading them to alter habitual patterns of thought and operation so that we get what we want. But what about what they want or are used to? I want to know about resistances that may operate, and refusals to cooperate, even on subconscious levels. I don’t see simply Jane’s and my wishes having the power to change the behavior of other groups of people to that degree, I guess—unless our change of thought shifts all else into another probability.)
