The Personal Sessions, book 4

The Deleted Seth Material: August, 27, 1977 - August 28, 1978

‍

Like all the other Seth books, this one is a fountain of positive energy, mind-expanding insights, good advice, and loving assistance from Seth to Jane and Rob related to Jane’s ever-degrading physical condition. Above all else, Seth expounds upon the nature of reality, as he does in every session of every book.

‍

To some extent or another after death you retain psychic connections with anyone you have ever met during a lifetime. The connections can be strong or weak, some important some trivial, but they form a psychic network, so to speak.

‍

This time period covers a time in which Jane did make improvements periodically, but by the end of August 1978, she was standing and walking only a few minutes a day, on good days.

‍

Regardless of what things looked like, she was given everything she needed to understand the causes of the difficulties and let go of the ideas and beliefs, individually and as a couple, that were contributing to the problem.

‍

For much of this book, Jane and Rob seem very fixated on the problems - they asked Seth for the "why" dozens and dozens of times while also not taking his advice about the practical things they could do to help her.

‍

Your society teaches that it is almost virtuous to worry. I would not go so far as to say that it is immoral to worry, but worry is a biological impediment. It increases the concentration upon whatever problem is involved, for one thing, and it has a self-hypnotizing effect. Not to worry in your society can seem quite impractical indeed. Yet a refusal to worry as such will often show remarkable results by freeing the creative mechanisms, relaxing the body, and therefore allowing solutions and resolutions to occur naturally. Worrying impedes your reception of Framework 2 activity.

‍

In this book, we are given a crash course in Framework 1 and Framework 2 (which I think is introduced to us as a concept in The "Unknown” Reality, volume 1). Framework 1 can be likened to everyday reality, the rules and assumptions that we agree to personally, socially and globally. While Framework 2 is that layer of reality that fuels Framework 1, that creates “coincidence” and connections, that brings us what we ask for, that is the force that animates our bodies and all of Nature.

‍

You must remember that there are no impediments in Framework 2, and therefore that all seeming impediments in Framework 1 will be dissolved. You must not wonder how, or dwell upon details. It is the overall pattern of behavior we are after here. I am not telling you to be blind in daily experience, but I am telling you how daily experience is formed.

It is possible, then, to have a sudden complete healing. In most such instance, however, the inner work has been progressing in Framework 2, and suddenly emerges in Framework 1. Desire, faith, and beliefs are the keys.

‍

Have you ever had an experience in which something “bad" happened, yet in some magical, mysterious way you were spared from harm or major difficulty? Like a car accident you walked away from unhurt? Or, with a literally empty wallet and a dead phone (and without a charger in the luggage) faced a deportation, but yet were given a soft landing in your home country through a network of people you barely knew (yeah, that happened to me)? Have you received a job offer when you were on your last few bucks?

‍

These kinds of hookups come from Framework 2, which reorganizes itself every second, based on probabilities, and tries to give us what will ensure our highest fulfillment and expression.

‍

Framework 2 is the creative medium that is responsible for physical life. It is not true, however, that positive and negative feelings and beliefs “take” there with equal vitality. It is true that your beliefs form your reality; however you do have a certain leeway, in that those desires that lead to fulfillment and positive creativity are more in keeping with the natural leanings of Framework 2 itself. Relatively speaking, then, these “take” more quickly, and accelerate in a more direct fashion. Limiting beliefs have to meet certain resistances, for they are not in keeping with the overall creative framework.

‍

It is easier for a body to be healthy than ill, and in the terms of this discussion, for example, old age does not basically bring with it any particular diseases or susceptibility.

‍

In this book, Seth spends the majority of the time speaking about Jane’s condition, the reasons for it and the ways that it is working itself out but, like with any Seth book, other fascinating topics are covered in passing. Like: firewalking, giants, how we are in contact, psychically, with everyone we’ve ever met, Jane and Rob’s friendship with Richard Bach and the Nearings, free will, Earth history (much longer and with entire cycles unsuspected by scientists), human history (“...there were cultures advanced enough for space travel, before the numbering of your geological ages. But even those did not organize life about technology in the way that you do.”), the importance of not believing the news, the power of suggestion ("Ruburt would be walking properly if he did not believe there was something wrong with him.”), and the very important need for fundamental, non-negotiable self-approval, like the way an animal never questions if it is fat, or pretty, or good.

‍

In your terms of history, man appeared in several different stages, or ages is a better word. Not from an animal ancestor in the way generally supposed. There were men-animals, but they were not your stock. They did not lead to anything. They were species in their own right.

‍

In some species the animal-like tendencies predominated, in others the manlike tendencies predominated.

‍

Such species existed in many of these ages. Man, as you think of him, shared the earth with the other creatures just mentioned. In those terms so-called modern man, with your skull structure and so forth, existed alongside of the creatures now supposed to be his ancestors.

‍

This book is comprised of material that Seth gave Jane and Robert privately, after the hours of regular book dictation (Seth and Jane and Rob wrote several excellent books together).

‍

The material in this book is personal, heartbreaking, sometimes infuriating. We want Jane to have more self-esteem, we want Rob to stop being so negative, we want people to stop dropping in on them unannounced, and above all, we want Jane to completely recover.

‍

But we know that Jane dies in 1984 and this book is a painful read knowing that that time is getting ever closer.
