Now: You still have some money in a regular savings account, and that is handy for simple day-to-day expenses, so of course you always have some effort to expend in Framework 1, and some experience with its normal trial-and-error tactics. You would think that it was rather fruitless, now that you have changed over your accounts, to spend any time worrying about all the money in the past still in the old savings account that did not get the superlative interest that these new accounts will enjoy.

Today you changed a bank account over from an ordinary savings account to what you might call a super-account, where the very same amount of money will give you approximately twice as much interest.

(Pause.) In the first place, however, even the ordinary account is to some extent different from the savings accounts of many other people. The money did not come by computing the number of hours worked on a project, for example, or the number of hours worked at a job, but instead accumulated because of the quality of creative work and the inquisitiveness of the creative mind. To some extent that money came because you trusted that it would.

It was, however, in a normal savings account, where it drew regular but rather small amounts of interest. Now with today’s adventure, and a brief previous one, all of a sudden it seems the picture has vastly improved. Again, the interest on the same amount of money nearly doubles. You cannot draw it out, however, until a specified date.

[...] To save life, to save American lives. The intent to save American lives was certainly “good” — at the expense of the Japanese this time. In that regard, America’s good was not Japan’s, and an act taken to “save life” was also designed to take individual lives.

[...] And while in the Jewish books [of The Old Testament] Jehovah now and then came through with great majesty to save his chosen people, he also allowed them to suffer great indignities over long periods of time, seeming to save them only at the last moment — and this time, so it seemed, he did not save them at all.

to save a portion of the past

[...] You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’

[...] But I said, “No, you can’t save a part of her (and sacrifice part) you have to save the poetry too.” [...]

(9:49.) In a way they will feel special—saved from the “clutches of death.” In perhaps a manner that appears strange, they will experience a new sense of their own validity, for if they were saved from death, then something—if only the fates—must have found them worthy. [...]

The father in many ways wanted to save face, so that his death should indeed appear accidental, and the result of someone else’s fault beside his own. [...]

[...] For the “accident” saved the young man’s life, and this was our father’s final gift to the world. [...]

[...] Or how can I get out of this predicament—on the father’s part—while still saving face? [...]

They are not forgotten, but the people involved simply close their own eyes, so to speak, to those decisions, and pretend (underlined) that they do not exist, simply to make their lives appear smooth and to save face with themselves, when they know very well that the decisions really rest on very shaky ground indeed.

An adult under the same circumstances might become injured to avoid a dreaded event at the office — but the adult may well feel ashamed of such a reaction, and so hide it from himself or herself in order to save feelings of self-esteem. [...]

[...] Still, in most such instances those inner decisions can be easily reached — but while people are determined to “save face,” they will simply refuse to accept those decisions as their own. [...]

[...] If the teeth were saved though too, that would apply.

1. Seth’s material here about dream solutions reminded me of a few lines just about all that were saved — from a poem Jane wrote when she was 17 years old:

And saved them,

There are things I have to say, saved for private sessions, having to do with his condition about the house. [...]

(Seth talked about teeth tonight because of my visit to the dentist today, in an effort—apparently successful—to save a front capped tooth which had suddenly begun to act up. I regard it as a very close call, and hope the filling put in will save the tooth. [...]

[...] A belief in the principles given, without equivocation, will save even the tooth that is loosest. [...] Ruburt must completely believe, however, that that tooth can be saved.

(This remnant, saved by one of Jane’s students, is all that is left from one of the few class sessions that were either lost or not fully recorded. [...]

“… you are a part of nature, and that is your saving grace—that no matter how you try to leave that framework you exist within it, so that you communicate with earth at other levels, even if you refuse to be aware of that communication. [...]

[...] That fear is precisely what keeps Ruburt from saving the teeth so far. [...] He must not be so afraid, then, of losing the teeth—and then perhaps he can save them. [...]

[...] Yes, beliefs could save the rest of them—but both of your interpretations about teeth at this point hold you back. [...]

Illness is a face-saving device, socially, often occurring where private beliefs and feelings find irritation with mass beliefs. [...]

At various times this one God of Carter’s seems to have said, on more unearthly subjects, that the Jews would be saved, while our infidels languished in the deepest hell, or that the Mohammedans would be saved—and throughout history as you know it, and as you do not know it, the stories have thrived.

NIRVANA, RIGHT IS MIGHT,
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, AND THE
HUMAN BODY AS A PLANET WORTH SAVING

We will continue dictation, starting a new chapter, to be called: “Nirvana, Right is Might, Onward Christian Soldiers, and the Human Body as a Planet Worth Saving.”

(10:16.) Your physicians can point to lives saved by sophisticated technology. [...] It seems that such lives would have been saved with modern procedures. [...]

[...] A man or woman who is ready to die, if saved from one disease will promptly get another, or find a way of fulfilling that desire. [...]

[...] You learned quickly, saving your cat.

[...] This alone will save him from many indispositions. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s sudden propulsions, so far, have saved him from having to make that kind of decision, you see. [...]

[...] When Christ said “Believe in me, and you will be saved,” he meant “Believe in your relationship to God, in that you are his son, as I am, and you will surely be saved.” [...]

[...] In religious terms, you would realize you were saved, or a child of God. [...]
