“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“The therapy of value fulfillment will attempt to put individuals in touch with their basic instincts, to allow them to sense the impulsive shapes of their lives, to define their own versions of the ideal through the recognition of it as it exists in their own impulses and feelings and abilities, and to help them find acceptable and practical methods of exerting their natural power in the practical actualization of those ideals.”

1. Just before giving the 861st session last week, Jane received from Seth some intriguing material on the idea that in psychological therapy, the good intents and impulses beneath the client’s emotional and physical hassles should be searched out by the analyst. [...]

Then in the 861st session itself — which was not for Mass Events, as stated — Seth briefly mentioned the material on ideals and impulses he’s been giving in recent book sessions. [...]

Ruburt’s impulse to take Emir from Prentice—his impulse to call others, his call to Eleanor—all of these events represent a change of mood, and inner decisions of which Ruburt is not as yet aware.

[...] He allowed the impulse to surface initially, and then he allowed himself to act upon it, in a sense “throwing caution to the wind.” [...]

The impulse allowed Framework 2 to operate, pulling in new probabilities. [...]

[...] His impulses will tell him when. [...]

He has been doing exceedingly well, for him, in that regard, following impulses to houseclean and so forth—trusting the entire shape of his nature. He simply then for a while bumped into some of the old beliefs again, worried that his impulses would not lead him to write sufficiently. [...] It is simply a matter of remembering the new framework of beliefs, and trusting that your impulses are leading in the proper direction. [...]

[...] Impulses are aroused. [...] Nerve impulses quicken, as does circulation. [...]

[...] Now Ruburt once felt that he had to discipline his impulses, lest they spontaneously lead him where he felt his purposes, or safety, might be threatened. [...]

[...] He did give in to the impulse to paint, however. [...]

[...] The impulse to paint, therefore, fits in with the same kind of spontaneous “discipline” that is so magnificent in the activity of the body.

By then, however, Ruburt began to fear that he was headed for trouble—that he was too impetuous, headstrong and impulsive. [...] In not wanting children, a good amount of discipline was used by both of you—the kind of discipline that simply would not be possible for people “driven” by impulsive desires. [...]

(Jane relied on her impulses and Framework 2 for her decision—actions that she would have probably found very difficult to carry out earlier. [...]

This is particularly important since the body itself is now working with improvements involving the relationships of motion between its various parts, and the quickening of nerve impulses connected with motion. [...]

[...] Thus far, his impulses have been correct, and forcing the walking at certain times would not be advantageous.

[...] He felt the impulse to do the floors with your sweeper (while I was mowing grass) and because of our Saturday session he ignored the arm difficulty enough to do the kitchen. [...] Sunday is not considered a “workday,” however, so it was easier for him to follow through on those impulses. [...]

The impulse to do the floors, however, creatively stimulated Framework 2 activity. [...]

[...] He followed the impulse to nap, but when he did not instantly find a perceivable “good result” afterward, he began to doubt himself again.

[...] So if he gives in to an impulse to cry then he feels he forces you to behave in a stereotyped male way—in a role you have rejected, and rightly so.

[...] He is using more nourishment, building new cells, and should be alert so that he eats however often when he feels the impulse. [...]

Such an impulse, followed, will lead to its own performance the means will be given. Before, Ruburt’s fear prevented him from even acknowledging many such impulses to act. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s faith and habits allowed the initial impulse its freedom, and that impulse, expressed, carried within it the means of its own fulfillment, and the book unfolded. [...]

[...] Faith in a creative, fulfilling, desired end, sustained faith, literally draws from Framework 2 all of the necessary ingredients, all of the elements however staggering in number, arranges all the details, and then inserts into Framework 1 the impulses, dreams, chance meetings, motivations, or whatever is necessary so that the desired end then falls into place as a completed pattern.

Impulses toward action will be naturally rearoused, and desires toward spontaneous action will find more and more release. Driving now is good, for it represents one of Ruburt’s few connections with the natural outside world, and as he does improve, his impulses, natural impulses, will begin to show themselves. [...]

The mood, however, and the results that you achieved today, if sustained, draws to you from all of your experience and from the vast potential of Framework 2 those body events, healing situations, dreams, impulses, or whatever is needed to right Ruburt’s condition.

[...] Since I’d been thinking of Wanda rather strongly last week, wondering whether the doctor in question could help Jane and her eye condition, I took our meeting as a clear case of the workings of Framework 2. On impulse I asked Wanda if she could arrange an appointment for Jane, and was surprised to hear that it could be set up for next Monday. [...]

(Driving home, I had misgivings about my actions in making the appointment without consulting Jane, but told myself I trusted my impulse and the working of Framework 2. I also felt that Jane would never see a doctor on her own. [...]

[...] Ruburt feared that spontaneity had to be tempered, because spontaneity meant unbridled, rampant, uncontrolled impulse. [...]

Panicky, Ruburt began in his later 30’s to check all impulses except those to work. [...]

[...] His impulsive nature is actually somewhat more restrained in this life than it was in the previously past life. [...]

The impulsive and warm quality began with that midwest existence as a woman. [...]

[...] Mark still attempts to override an earlier propensity toward insensitiveness, and is therefore now sensitive and impulsive.

His present mother, remembering subconsciously past transgressions of his, now counts upon his impulsive nature and sensitivity to pay him back, this of course representing a mistake on her part, for which she will have to suffer the consequences in still another existence.

Ruburt now feels the impulse to sit up on the side of his bed—an excellent development, for action follows impulse. [...]

[...] Then Jane said something very important—that when the guardrail on the bed in down on the left side, and the TV is pushed back out of the way, she gets the impulse to sit up in bed and swing her legs down over the side. [...]

The impulse was always present, but earlier it was buried beneath the conglomeration of negative mental and physical habits. [...]

[...] The most important thing, however, is that he trust and follow his impulses. [...] The feeling of creative pleasure as he paints, and follows the impulse, relieves his mind, takes it off his body, and automatically regenerates other creative impulses. [...]

[...] Almost each day we reread some of the late sessions doing with letting go, trust of the body and impulses, and similar concepts; they have been a great help. [...]

[...] The impulse to do so, of course, is always present. [...]

[...] That is why I have stressed the importance of impulse, and Framework 2’s activity, for there you are not confined to cause and effect.

No electrical reality is composed of simply one impulse. Although we must speak in these terms for simplicity’s sake, every electrical impulse is of itself composed of a truly endless variety and range of intensities. In other words, each electrical impulse contains within it its own infinity of variations.

[...] This is obviously impossible for the physical camouflaged self, but it is not impossible for the inner self, which as you know has its own electrical reality, which is again composed of particular impulses and intensities.

While the large proportion remain relatively hidden, however, the average person often meets with dream fragments just below the normal threshold of consciousness — not recognizing them as what they are — experiencing instead the impulse to do this or that on a given day; to eat this or that, or to refrain from something else. [...] The impulse to cancel may or may not seem to have an acceptable, rational explanation; that is, for no seeming reason, the individual may simply, impulsively, feel a premonition. On the other hand the impulse might appear as a normal, logical change of plan.

[...] All of your creative impulses arise from that hidden dimension — the very impulses that formed your greatest cities, your technology, and the physical cement that binds your culturally organized world.

The creative impulses are behind your languages, yet often you use the languages to silence rather than free inner communication. [...]

[...] The dreams themselves have contributed to Ruburt’s relative compliance with growing bodily relaxation, and with his growing trust in his own impulses.

The fact that you have been of such help shows how much you have learned, for in the past you did sometimes sabotage his efforts—not at all lately —because of your own distrust of impulses, and because the situation to some extent served you also. [...]

[...] Impulses are again awakening. [...]

[...] Your creative self, your spontaneous, creative self—that self that speaks through your impulses—keeps you alive.”
