Begin with the idea of a book. That idea alone instantly mobilizes, say, Ruburt’s abilities, and the same applies to any writer. There is only one person involved. The same applies to an artist, so for simplicity’s sake we will start with a single creative event—the idea the writer or artist has already geared himself, through training and practice, through intent and expectation, to receive to begin with.
Without consciously knowing how his body performs such manipulations, he trusts it—the hands to hold the brush, the fingers to type or whatever, and the idea becomes reality. The idea comes from Framework 2, and Framework 2’s activity fuels the body’s actions.
Now: We want to publish the book—and I will here continue, for our purposes, dealing with a book’s production rather than a painting’s.

(Earlier in the month I’d grown so disgusted with the whole business that I’d resolved not to bother asking Seth for help—then before tonight’s session I’d spontaneously had the idea that I would ask if I got the chance. I reread daily many of the private sessions he’s given for us in the last year or two—especially those in Book 20. A number of those deal with my challenges involving the side, groin, taxes, and so forth. I seem to be a slow learner; either that or my accumulated resentments seem to be so deeply ingrained that I should work much harder at eradicating old beliefs.)
