1
00:00:02,159 -->
00:00:08,160
You've been asking reality at the
2
00:00:04,400 -->
00:00:10,240
surface your entire life. The surface is
3
00:00:08,160 -->
00:00:14,320
the world of things you can see and
4
00:00:10,240 -->
00:00:16,960
touch where one moment follows the next.
5
00:00:14,320 -->
00:00:20,320
Seth, the voice that spoke through Jane
6
00:00:16,960 -->
00:00:22,800
Roberts for over 20 years says every
7
00:00:20,320 -->
00:00:25,439
event in your life is first arranged in
8
00:00:22,800 -->
00:00:26,960
a hidden source behind everything you
9
00:00:25,439 -->
00:00:29,760
see.
10
00:00:26,960 -->
00:00:32,160
Asking the visible world to change is
11
00:00:29,760 -->
00:00:35,600
asking a finished picture to repaint
12
00:00:32,160 -->
00:00:38,800
itself. And the picture can't do that.
13
00:00:35,600 -->
00:00:41,600
The ask that works goes straight to the
14
00:00:38,800 -->
00:00:44,079
source. And reality can't refuse it
15
00:00:41,600 -->
00:00:47,120
because the source is already creating
16
00:00:44,079 -->
00:00:49,600
your life right now. This is not a
17
00:00:47,120 -->
00:00:52,640
manifestation method and there's nothing
18
00:00:49,600 -->
00:00:54,320
to perform, only an understanding to
19
00:00:52,640 -->
00:00:57,840
see.
20
00:00:54,320 -->
00:01:00,559
Seth is a non-physical teacher who spoke
21
00:00:57,840 -->
00:01:04,159
through the author Jane Roberts starting
22
00:01:00,559 -->
00:01:06,560
in December of 1963
23
00:01:04,159 -->
00:01:09,520
and the words came through in sessions
24
00:01:06,560 -->
00:01:12,799
for more than 20 years.
25
00:01:09,520 -->
00:01:15,439
Her husband Robert Buts wrote down each
26
00:01:12,799 -->
00:01:18,159
session as it happened and the result
27
00:01:15,439 -->
00:01:20,880
fills book after book.
28
00:01:18,159 -->
00:01:23,200
Seth introduced the two frameworks in
29
00:01:20,880 -->
00:01:26,320
his book, The Individual and the Nature
30
00:01:23,200 -->
00:01:29,200
of Mass Events. And the two frameworks
31
00:01:26,320 -->
00:01:30,960
explain exactly why the surface never
32
00:01:29,200 -->
00:01:33,119
answers.
33
00:01:30,960 -->
00:01:36,320
He called the world you wake up in
34
00:01:33,119 -->
00:01:39,280
framework one. This is the world your
35
00:01:36,320 -->
00:01:42,320
senses report to you the world of
36
00:01:39,280 -->
00:01:45,119
bodies, streets, bills, and weather,
37
00:01:42,320 -->
00:01:47,840
where time moves in a line and one thing
38
00:01:45,119 -->
00:01:50,799
happens after another.
39
00:01:47,840 -->
00:01:53,920
Cause and effect rule here. [gasps] You
40
00:01:50,799 -->
00:01:56,159
push a door and the door opens. You
41
00:01:53,920 -->
00:01:58,880
leave a plant without water and the
42
00:01:56,159 -->
00:02:01,200
plant dries out. You grow up learning
43
00:01:58,880 -->
00:02:03,280
these rules and the rules look like the
44
00:02:01,200 -->
00:02:05,920
whole of reality.
45
00:02:03,280 -->
00:02:09,039
The conscious reasoning mind does its
46
00:02:05,920 -->
00:02:11,599
work in framework one. It plans, it
47
00:02:09,039 -->
00:02:14,800
compares, and it solves problems one
48
00:02:11,599 -->
00:02:17,520
step at a time using only what it can
49
00:02:14,800 -->
00:02:21,120
see and what it already knows. That's
50
00:02:17,520 -->
00:02:23,280
its job. And it does the job well. When
51
00:02:21,120 -->
00:02:26,959
your day goes wrong, this is the mind
52
00:02:23,280 -->
00:02:30,319
you use to fix it step by step, list by
53
00:02:26,959 -->
00:02:33,760
list. But its reach ends at the edge of
54
00:02:30,319 -->
00:02:36,400
the visible world. It can't see where an
55
00:02:33,760 -->
00:02:38,800
event comes from before it arrives
56
00:02:36,400 -->
00:02:40,800
because that part never appears in front
57
00:02:38,800 -->
00:02:43,760
of your eyes.
58
00:02:40,800 -->
00:02:46,640
Seth never puts framework one down and
59
00:02:43,760 -->
00:02:49,440
he insists on that. It's the world where
60
00:02:46,640 -->
00:02:53,120
you act and choose. And the conscious
61
00:02:49,440 -->
00:02:55,120
mind has a real purpose here.
62
00:02:53,120 -->
00:02:58,239
There's nothing wrong with planning,
63
00:02:55,120 -->
00:03:00,720
choosing, and moving. The trouble starts
64
00:02:58,239 -->
00:03:04,400
when the visible level becomes the only
65
00:03:00,720 -->
00:03:08,000
level. And every desire turns into one
66
00:03:04,400 -->
00:03:11,519
more thing to manage. So a desire shows
67
00:03:08,000 -->
00:03:14,080
up and the training says to chase it,
68
00:03:11,519 -->
00:03:16,000
manage it, and grind at it because
69
00:03:14,080 -->
00:03:17,599
that's what everyone around you is
70
00:03:16,000 -->
00:03:19,360
doing.
71
00:03:17,599 -->
00:03:22,560
The pushing becomes the whole
72
00:03:19,360 -->
00:03:24,800
relationship with reality. You push at
73
00:03:22,560 -->
00:03:27,920
work, you push at money, you push at
74
00:03:24,800 -->
00:03:31,360
love, and the same day keeps arriving
75
00:03:27,920 -->
00:03:34,400
with small changes. You try a new angle,
76
00:03:31,360 -->
00:03:37,599
a new plan, a new routine, and the day
77
00:03:34,400 -->
00:03:40,480
shifts a little and settles back.
78
00:03:37,599 -->
00:03:43,040
The things you want stay out of reach,
79
00:03:40,480 -->
00:03:46,239
and the push never reaches the [music]
80
00:03:43,040 -->
00:03:49,120
place where events are made. The visible
81
00:03:46,239 -->
00:03:52,720
world is the finished product, and the
82
00:03:49,120 -->
00:03:55,280
finished product can't repaint itself.
83
00:03:52,720 -->
00:03:58,560
The result is a reality that feels like
84
00:03:55,280 -->
00:04:02,560
a wall. So you bring more force and the
85
00:03:58,560 -->
00:04:05,280
wall stays a wall. Seth's whole teaching
86
00:04:02,560 -->
00:04:07,920
begins at [music] this exact point with
87
00:04:05,280 -->
00:04:10,720
the discovery that the wall is only the
88
00:04:07,920 -->
00:04:13,360
surface and something behind it has been
89
00:04:10,720 -->
00:04:16,959
answering you all along.
90
00:04:13,360 -->
00:04:19,840
Seth calls this source framework too and
91
00:04:16,959 -->
00:04:22,560
his description surprises people because
92
00:04:19,840 -->
00:04:25,040
it isn't a place. You can't travel there
93
00:04:22,560 -->
00:04:27,759
and you can't point at it because it
94
00:04:25,040 -->
00:04:30,560
doesn't sit in space at all. He calls it
95
00:04:27,759 -->
00:04:33,440
a medium, an inner order of events
96
00:04:30,560 -->
00:04:36,639
present everywhere all the time. Your
97
00:04:33,440 -->
00:04:40,320
physical life rests inside it. The way a
98
00:04:36,639 -->
00:04:43,759
wave rides inside the ocean, held and
99
00:04:40,320 -->
00:04:46,479
moved by what surrounds it. Every
100
00:04:43,759 -->
00:04:50,479
physical event is prepared there before
101
00:04:46,479 -->
00:04:53,680
it appears. Framework two continuously
102
00:04:50,479 -->
00:04:56,639
works out the intents, beliefs, desires,
103
00:04:53,680 -->
00:04:58,800
and expectations of every person, and it
104
00:04:56,639 -->
00:05:00,960
weaves them together with those of
105
00:04:58,800 -->
00:05:03,600
everyone else.
106
00:05:00,960 -->
00:05:06,560
Nothing there happens alone. Your
107
00:05:03,600 -->
00:05:09,360
thoughts take form there faster than you
108
00:05:06,560 -->
00:05:12,560
could ever trace, combining into
109
00:05:09,360 -->
00:05:15,199
patterns, the way cells combine into a
110
00:05:12,560 -->
00:05:17,840
body. When you want something, the
111
00:05:15,199 -->
00:05:20,880
wanting enters an activity that's
112
00:05:17,840 -->
00:05:23,360
already running. An activity that joins
113
00:05:20,880 -->
00:05:25,360
your intent with the intent of every
114
00:05:23,360 -->
00:05:29,120
other life.
115
00:05:25,360 -->
00:05:32,000
Time works differently there too. Seth
116
00:05:29,120 -->
00:05:34,639
says all time is simultaneous in
117
00:05:32,000 -->
00:05:36,560
framework 2. So an arrangement that
118
00:05:34,639 -->
00:05:39,280
would take years to build in the
119
00:05:36,560 -->
00:05:41,440
physical world can be formed there in a
120
00:05:39,280 -->
00:05:44,639
single stroke.
121
00:05:41,440 -->
00:05:47,520
information there has no limits and it's
122
00:05:44,639 -->
00:05:51,360
organized by association rather than by
123
00:05:47,520 -->
00:05:53,680
clocks. Every probability, every person
124
00:05:51,360 -->
00:05:56,240
involved, every circumstance that could
125
00:05:53,680 -->
00:05:58,960
touch your desire is available in it.
126
00:05:56,240 -->
00:06:02,320
Seth compares it to [music] an endless
127
00:05:58,960 -->
00:06:05,199
instant information service. One that
128
00:06:02,320 -->
00:06:07,840
connects you with whatever you require
129
00:06:05,199 -->
00:06:10,400
and it works with a speed nothing
130
00:06:07,840 -->
00:06:12,800
physical can match.
131
00:06:10,400 -->
00:06:15,600
He goes [music] as far as saying that
132
00:06:12,800 -->
00:06:18,639
each event from a falling leaf to a
133
00:06:15,600 -->
00:06:22,240
falling star begins there before it
134
00:06:18,639 -->
00:06:25,039
lands here. The job change, the meeting,
135
00:06:22,240 -->
00:06:27,520
the phone call that changes a week. The
136
00:06:25,039 -->
00:06:30,319
slow healing, the sudden opening, all of
137
00:06:27,520 -->
00:06:33,039
it takes shape there first. Nothing in
138
00:06:30,319 -->
00:06:35,680
your day arrives out of nowhere. It
139
00:06:33,039 -->
00:06:38,720
arrives from somewhere. And that
140
00:06:35,680 -->
00:06:41,840
somewhere is framework two.
141
00:06:38,720 -->
00:06:44,720
This source also has a leaning. Seth
142
00:06:41,840 -->
00:06:47,840
describes framework 2 as good at its
143
00:06:44,720 -->
00:06:50,400
very root with an automatic pull toward
144
00:06:47,840 -->
00:06:53,759
fulfillment. The way water runs
145
00:06:50,400 -->
00:06:55,600
downhill, it carries an inbuilt tendency
146
00:06:53,759 -->
00:07:00,160
toward the best development of
147
00:06:55,600 -->
00:07:03,440
everything in it. Dreams, inspiration,
148
00:07:00,160 -->
00:07:06,479
intuition, and healing all flow from it
149
00:07:03,440 -->
00:07:10,560
too. which is why those experiences feel
150
00:07:06,479 -->
00:07:12,720
like they arrive rather than get made.
151
00:07:10,560 -->
00:07:15,280
That detail matters for everything that
152
00:07:12,720 -->
00:07:18,720
follows because it means you're asking
153
00:07:15,280 -->
00:07:21,680
from something that's already for you.
154
00:07:18,720 -->
00:07:25,199
That leaning is why an honest ask never
155
00:07:21,680 -->
00:07:27,520
has to push the process into motion. The
156
00:07:25,199 -->
00:07:30,080
pull toward fulfillment is built in
157
00:07:27,520 -->
00:07:32,880
before you say a word.
158
00:07:30,080 -->
00:07:36,479
And here is the part that changes the
159
00:07:32,880 -->
00:07:39,360
whole picture. If this source arranges
160
00:07:36,479 -->
00:07:42,000
all events, then it's already arranging
161
00:07:39,360 -->
00:07:44,240
your events right now. There's no
162
00:07:42,000 -->
00:07:47,840
version of your life where the process
163
00:07:44,240 -->
00:07:50,000
is switched off. The real discovery is
164
00:07:47,840 -->
00:07:53,120
what it's been arranging for you all
165
00:07:50,000 -->
00:07:55,599
along. And the answer sits closer to
166
00:07:53,120 -->
00:07:58,479
home than you'd think.
167
00:07:55,599 -->
00:08:01,919
Most people imagine a creative source as
168
00:07:58,479 -->
00:08:04,639
a power they need to switch on. Seth
169
00:08:01,919 -->
00:08:07,759
says the opposite. Framework 2 is
170
00:08:04,639 -->
00:08:10,720
already forming your life in this moment
171
00:08:07,759 -->
00:08:13,840
and it has never once stopped.
172
00:08:10,720 -->
00:08:16,720
Your heart beats without your direction.
173
00:08:13,840 -->
00:08:20,400
Your food turns into energy without a
174
00:08:16,720 -->
00:08:23,440
single decision from you. This level
175
00:08:20,400 -->
00:08:26,080
constantly replenishes your body. Seth
176
00:08:23,440 -->
00:08:28,720
says in a way that has nothing to do
177
00:08:26,080 -->
00:08:32,240
with your effort. Even your thinking
178
00:08:28,720 -->
00:08:34,959
runs on energy that arrives from there.
179
00:08:32,240 -->
00:08:37,599
He gives a simple example. When you
180
00:08:34,959 -->
00:08:40,719
decide to pick up a book and then do it,
181
00:08:37,599 -->
00:08:43,919
you feel the event as one smooth motion.
182
00:08:40,719 -->
00:08:46,800
The reach, the lift. Beneath that small
183
00:08:43,919 -->
00:08:50,080
motion, countless inner events had to
184
00:08:46,800 -->
00:08:52,320
line up first. and something deeper than
185
00:08:50,080 -->
00:08:55,760
your reasoning arranged every one of
186
00:08:52,320 -->
00:08:59,519
them. The event feels simple because
187
00:08:55,760 -->
00:09:02,320
everything below it finished first.
188
00:08:59,519 -->
00:09:05,519
Your conscious mind can't build a body,
189
00:09:02,320 -->
00:09:08,080
grow bones, or time a heartbeat. And it
190
00:09:05,519 -->
00:09:11,279
can't organize the hidden chain behind a
191
00:09:08,080 -->
00:09:14,800
single reach of your arm. Something in
192
00:09:11,279 -->
00:09:18,399
you handles that day and [music] night.
193
00:09:14,800 -->
00:09:21,279
Seth gives that something a name. the
194
00:09:18,399 -->
00:09:23,360
inner ego, the portion of you that's
195
00:09:21,279 -->
00:09:26,080
fully conscious in framework 2 and
196
00:09:23,360 -->
00:09:28,880
handles the actual formation of events.
197
00:09:26,080 -->
00:09:32,000
It isn't a stranger and it isn't a
198
00:09:28,880 -->
00:09:34,720
separate power. It's you working on the
199
00:09:32,000 -->
00:09:37,519
other side of the visible world and it
200
00:09:34,720 -->
00:09:40,000
takes your direction seriously.
201
00:09:37,519 -->
00:09:43,920
Your conscious mind supplies the what
202
00:09:40,000 -->
00:09:46,800
and the inner ego supplies the how.
203
00:09:43,920 -->
00:09:49,680
The same holds for the big movements of
204
00:09:46,800 -->
00:09:52,640
your life. Hold the desire for a new
205
00:09:49,680 -->
00:09:55,360
job. And the arrangement begins at that
206
00:09:52,640 -->
00:09:58,560
deeper level, moving through people,
207
00:09:55,360 -->
00:10:01,600
timing, and openings you can't see. A
208
00:09:58,560 -->
00:10:04,880
job change touches the choices and paths
209
00:10:01,600 -->
00:10:07,200
of many people at once, Seth says. And
210
00:10:04,880 -->
00:10:10,000
the inner parts of everyone involved
211
00:10:07,200 -->
00:10:13,279
coordinated out of sight. What looks
212
00:10:10,000 -->
00:10:14,880
like luck on the surface is organization
213
00:10:13,279 -->
00:10:17,600
underneath
214
00:10:14,880 -->
00:10:21,040
and the reach of this support goes past
215
00:10:17,600 -->
00:10:23,920
the special moments. Seth says framework
216
00:10:21,040 -->
00:10:27,360
2 continuously prepares your daily life
217
00:10:23,920 -->
00:10:30,160
for you. Waking, resting, creating,
218
00:10:27,360 -->
00:10:32,640
meeting, feeling, sleeping at deeper
219
00:10:30,160 -->
00:10:36,480
level works out the ordinary day with
220
00:10:32,640 -->
00:10:39,360
you moment by moment. Life runs on this
221
00:10:36,480 -->
00:10:42,160
support so automatically that it looks
222
00:10:39,360 -->
00:10:45,360
like nothing at all. The way your own
223
00:10:42,160 -->
00:10:48,640
breathing goes unnoticed until you look
224
00:10:45,360 -->
00:10:51,760
straight at it. And that brings the
225
00:10:48,640 -->
00:10:54,399
shift in identity, the one that changes
226
00:10:51,760 -->
00:10:57,360
how you ask. You're not a visitor
227
00:10:54,399 -->
00:11:00,480
knocking at the door of a distant power,
228
00:10:57,360 -->
00:11:03,040
hoping someone hears you. A portion of
229
00:11:00,480 -->
00:11:06,399
you lives inside that source and works
230
00:11:03,040 -->
00:11:10,079
there constantly. Even while you eat,
231
00:11:06,399 -->
00:11:12,640
worry, and walk through your day, the
232
00:11:10,079 -->
00:11:15,920
ask was never a message sent out to
233
00:11:12,640 -->
00:11:18,640
something far away. It's emotion inside
234
00:11:15,920 -->
00:11:21,440
your own larger self.
235
00:11:18,640 -->
00:11:24,000
Still, asks seem to go unanswered all
236
00:11:21,440 -->
00:11:26,959
the time, and Seth doesn't pretend
237
00:11:24,000 -->
00:11:29,920
otherwise. The reason sits in the way
238
00:11:26,959 -->
00:11:32,959
the asking usually happens, and once you
239
00:11:29,920 -->
00:11:35,680
see it, you can't unsee it.
240
00:11:32,959 -->
00:11:38,560
Watch what asking at the surface
241
00:11:35,680 -->
00:11:41,200
actually looks like. You want something,
242
00:11:38,560 -->
00:11:43,839
you state the desire, and then you check
243
00:11:41,200 -->
00:11:46,959
on it, worry over it, plan every step
244
00:11:43,839 -->
00:11:50,240
with a tight chest and push at whatever
245
00:11:46,959 -->
00:11:53,040
you can see. Seth calls this forcing
246
00:11:50,240 -->
00:11:56,480
outcomes through framework one. And he
247
00:11:53,040 -->
00:11:59,360
says it works against the process. It
248
00:11:56,480 -->
00:12:02,399
keeps the surface busy while the source
249
00:11:59,360 -->
00:12:05,120
waits for a clean direction.
250
00:12:02,399 -->
00:12:08,320
The deeper problem is what the pushing
251
00:12:05,120 -->
00:12:11,440
says about you. All that worry and
252
00:12:08,320 -->
00:12:13,920
forcing rests on a belief. The belief
253
00:12:11,440 -->
00:12:16,800
that you're on your own and everything
254
00:12:13,920 -->
00:12:20,160
depends on you controlling it. Framework
255
00:12:16,800 -->
00:12:23,600
two receives that belief and works it
256
00:12:20,160 -->
00:12:26,320
out like any other belief. So the push
257
00:12:23,600 -->
00:12:28,639
sends one message with its words and a
258
00:12:26,320 -->
00:12:31,600
different message underneath. And the
259
00:12:28,639 -->
00:12:33,839
underneath message is the one the source
260
00:12:31,600 -->
00:12:36,480
arranges.
261
00:12:33,839 -->
00:12:39,360
That's why Seth says framework 2 isn't a
262
00:12:36,480 -->
00:12:42,480
wish machine. It responds to what you
263
00:12:39,360 -->
00:12:45,440
actually believe and expect, not to the
264
00:12:42,480 -->
00:12:48,240
words you place on top. The surface
265
00:12:45,440 -->
00:12:49,839
hears the words and the source hears the
266
00:12:48,240 -->
00:12:51,760
expectation.
267
00:12:49,839 -->
00:12:54,959
And the source is the one doing the
268
00:12:51,760 -->
00:12:57,920
arranging. You can repeat the positive
269
00:12:54,959 -->
00:13:00,959
sentence a thousand times [music] and if
270
00:12:57,920 -->
00:13:03,839
the expectation underneath keeps saying
271
00:13:00,959 -->
00:13:05,680
the opposite, the deeper expectation
272
00:13:03,839 -->
00:13:08,399
keeps winning.
273
00:13:05,680 -->
00:13:11,279
A worried ask carries two signals at
274
00:13:08,399 -->
00:13:14,720
once, the desire and the expectation of
275
00:13:11,279 -->
00:13:17,519
not receiving. The second one feels like
276
00:13:14,720 -->
00:13:19,360
fact, while the first one only sounds
277
00:13:17,519 -->
00:13:22,000
like hope.
278
00:13:19,360 -->
00:13:26,079
Underneath all of it sits a whole model
279
00:13:22,000 -->
00:13:29,120
of reality and Seth names it. The model
280
00:13:26,079 -->
00:13:31,760
says you have only so much energy that
281
00:13:29,120 -->
00:13:34,639
effort spent equals results gained and
282
00:13:31,760 -->
00:13:36,959
that everything wears out in the end.
283
00:13:34,639 -->
00:13:39,839
Seth calls that the framework one
284
00:13:36,959 -->
00:13:41,440
assumption not the truth of how life is
285
00:13:39,839 -->
00:13:43,680
created.
286
00:13:41,440 -->
00:13:46,959
He says, "The energy of life keeps
287
00:13:43,680 -->
00:13:49,920
arriving fresh in your world, and strain
288
00:13:46,959 -->
00:13:53,120
has nothing to do with it. Pushing
289
00:13:49,920 -->
00:13:55,920
harder never makes the ask clearer. It
290
00:13:53,120 -->
00:13:58,560
makes the mixed signal louder, and it
291
00:13:55,920 -->
00:14:00,880
wraps the process in resistance it never
292
00:13:58,560 -->
00:14:03,920
needed to [music] carry."
293
00:14:00,880 -->
00:14:06,880
Seen this way, the unanswered ask stops
294
00:14:03,920 -->
00:14:09,920
being a mystery. Nothing ignored you,
295
00:14:06,880 -->
00:14:12,880
and nothing held anything back. The
296
00:14:09,920 -->
00:14:15,440
direction was arriving doubled. A yes
297
00:14:12,880 -->
00:14:17,680
spoken out loud and a no held
298
00:14:15,440 -->
00:14:21,519
underneath. And the source can only
299
00:14:17,680 -->
00:14:23,600
follow the one you mean. So the ask that
300
00:14:21,519 -->
00:14:26,160
works is not a louder one. It's a
301
00:14:23,600 -->
00:14:28,240
cleaner one. And it happens at the
302
00:14:26,160 -->
00:14:31,199
source.
303
00:14:28,240 -->
00:14:33,279
Here the teaching turns practical and it
304
00:14:31,199 -->
00:14:37,040
stays an understanding rather than a
305
00:14:33,279 -->
00:14:40,560
method. Seth doesn't hand you a ritual,
306
00:14:37,040 -->
00:14:43,360
a formula, or a set of special words. He
307
00:14:40,560 -->
00:14:45,519
describes a natural motion, the motion
308
00:14:43,360 -->
00:14:48,320
your own being makes whenever it
309
00:14:45,519 -->
00:14:50,720
creates. And he shows how to make that
310
00:14:48,320 -->
00:14:52,959
motion on purpose.
311
00:14:50,720 -->
00:14:56,399
The first part of the motion is clear
312
00:14:52,959 -->
00:14:58,880
intent. You state the desire inwardly in
313
00:14:56,399 -->
00:15:03,120
your own plain words as a direction
314
00:14:58,880 -->
00:15:05,120
rather than a demand. Say it the way you
315
00:15:03,120 -->
00:15:07,760
would say it to someone who already
316
00:15:05,120 -->
00:15:10,639
knows you because in framework two
317
00:15:07,760 -->
00:15:13,600
something does. Intent gives the
318
00:15:10,639 -->
00:15:17,040
creative work its aim and desire gives
319
00:15:13,600 -->
00:15:19,600
it warmth and strength. In Seth's
320
00:15:17,040 -->
00:15:23,199
teaching, desire is fuel and never a
321
00:15:19,600 -->
00:15:25,920
flaw. A desire that's real and clearly
322
00:15:23,199 -->
00:15:28,639
felt carries a natural intensity and
323
00:15:25,920 -->
00:15:30,560
that intensity is part of what crosses
324
00:15:28,639 -->
00:15:32,959
to the source.
325
00:15:30,560 -->
00:15:36,560
Then comes the part nearly everyone
326
00:15:32,959 -->
00:15:38,880
skips, the release. Seth gave Jane and
327
00:15:36,560 -->
00:15:42,079
Rob a picture for this, and the picture
328
00:15:38,880 -->
00:15:44,240
is a pebble. You dwell on what you want
329
00:15:42,079 -->
00:15:48,160
for a while, and you imagine it moving
330
00:15:44,240 -->
00:15:50,320
closer into your actual life. Then you
331
00:15:48,160 -->
00:15:53,199
drop it into framework two, like a
332
00:15:50,320 -->
00:15:54,639
pebble into deep water, and you let it
333
00:15:53,199 -->
00:15:57,519
go.
334
00:15:54,639 -->
00:16:00,959
He even suggested forgetting about it as
335
00:15:57,519 -->
00:16:04,000
much as possible for about 2 weeks in a
336
00:16:00,959 -->
00:16:06,880
natural rhythm. That way, the pebble can
337
00:16:04,000 -->
00:16:08,959
sink instead of you pulling it back up
338
00:16:06,880 -->
00:16:12,079
every hour.
339
00:16:08,959 -->
00:16:14,240
Letting go isn't losing interest, and it
340
00:16:12,079 -->
00:16:16,880
isn't giving up its trust with the
341
00:16:14,240 -->
00:16:19,680
shape. The release is also what
342
00:16:16,880 -->
00:16:22,560
separates an ask from a demand because a
343
00:16:19,680 -->
00:16:25,040
demand keeps gripping and an ask lets
344
00:16:22,560 -->
00:16:27,759
the hand open.
345
00:16:25,040 -->
00:16:30,480
Worry checks the water every hour to see
346
00:16:27,759 -->
00:16:33,199
whether the pebble landed and every
347
00:16:30,480 -->
00:16:36,800
check drops a new pebble stamped with
348
00:16:33,199 -->
00:16:38,320
doubt. Trust keeps the original message
349
00:16:36,800 -->
00:16:40,959
clean.
350
00:16:38,320 -->
00:16:44,160
Your conscious mind gives the direction
351
00:16:40,959 -->
00:16:47,279
and framework 2 handles the how. And the
352
00:16:44,160 -->
00:16:49,839
how is simply not your job. You were
353
00:16:47,279 -->
00:16:53,199
never built to coordinate meetings,
354
00:16:49,839 -->
00:16:56,480
timing, other people's choices, and a
355
00:16:53,199 -->
00:16:59,040
thousand hidden details at once. The
356
00:16:56,480 -->
00:17:01,279
part of you in framework 2 was built for
357
00:16:59,040 -->
00:17:03,440
that work.
358
00:17:01,279 -->
00:17:07,199
There's a line in this teaching that
359
00:17:03,440 -->
00:17:09,919
settles the waiting. Seth says that even
360
00:17:07,199 -->
00:17:13,120
when an intent looks unanswered on the
361
00:17:09,919 -->
00:17:16,240
surface, it has already produced effects
362
00:17:13,120 -->
00:17:18,559
in framework too. The moment the
363
00:17:16,240 -->
00:17:21,280
direction is clear, the arrangement
364
00:17:18,559 -->
00:17:24,319
begins and certain things have to meet
365
00:17:21,280 -->
00:17:26,400
before the result can appear in physical
366
00:17:24,319 -->
00:17:29,600
life.
367
00:17:26,400 -->
00:17:32,720
What you experience as delay is usually
368
00:17:29,600 -->
00:17:36,240
the visible world catching up with an
369
00:17:32,720 -->
00:17:39,039
arrangement already in motion along with
370
00:17:36,240 -->
00:17:41,520
everything that involves other people.
371
00:17:39,039 -->
00:17:43,600
So you can leave the result alone
372
00:17:41,520 -->
00:17:46,720
because the caring has already been
373
00:17:43,600 -->
00:17:50,720
delivered and the source holds it as you
374
00:17:46,720 -->
00:17:53,600
meant it. The last part of the ask is
375
00:17:50,720 -->
00:17:56,960
respect and it's what keeps the asking
376
00:17:53,600 -->
00:18:00,160
clean. Framework two holds your good and
377
00:17:56,960 -->
00:18:02,960
everyone else's good in one hand.
378
00:18:00,160 -->
00:18:05,760
Seth says you can't gain at another's
379
00:18:02,960 -->
00:18:09,440
expense and you can't use it to force an
380
00:18:05,760 -->
00:18:12,320
event on anyone. He describes the intent
381
00:18:09,440 -->
00:18:14,640
behind the whole source as loving with
382
00:18:12,320 -->
00:18:18,559
your best purposes in mind and everyone
383
00:18:14,640 -->
00:18:21,360
else's too. So a clean ask never bends
384
00:18:18,559 -->
00:18:24,320
another person. It states a direction
385
00:18:21,360 -->
00:18:28,160
and lets the source find the path where
386
00:18:24,320 -->
00:18:30,799
everyone involved is carried forward.
387
00:18:28,160 -->
00:18:33,520
Once the pebble leaves your hand, the
388
00:18:30,799 -->
00:18:36,640
source begins to move and the answer
389
00:18:33,520 -->
00:18:40,400
starts traveling back toward you through
390
00:18:36,640 -->
00:18:43,120
the ordinary events of your life. Seth
391
00:18:40,400 -->
00:18:46,320
describes how it arrives and it rarely
392
00:18:43,120 -->
00:18:49,200
looks like what you planned.
393
00:18:46,320 -->
00:18:51,919
The answer almost never comes back the
394
00:18:49,200 -->
00:18:54,640
way you imagined. [music] And that isn't
395
00:18:51,919 -->
00:18:58,080
a failure. It's the nature of the
396
00:18:54,640 -->
00:19:00,559
source. Framework 2 isn't limited to
397
00:18:58,080 -->
00:19:02,960
what you already know exists. So the
398
00:19:00,559 -->
00:19:06,080
path it arranges usually runs through
399
00:19:02,960 -->
00:19:09,039
doors you didn't know were doors.
400
00:19:06,080 -->
00:19:12,240
You expect a straight road and the
401
00:19:09,039 -->
00:19:14,880
answer comes on a folded path. It comes
402
00:19:12,240 -->
00:19:18,000
through a friend of a friend, through a
403
00:19:14,880 -->
00:19:19,919
delay that turns out to be protection,
404
00:19:18,000 -->
00:19:21,760
through an opening that appears
405
00:19:19,919 -->
00:19:24,559
sideways.
406
00:19:21,760 -->
00:19:27,600
The inner ego handles the how, lining
407
00:19:24,559 -->
00:19:30,000
up, meetings, timing, and the exact
408
00:19:27,600 -->
00:19:32,960
circumstances no plan of yours could
409
00:19:30,000 -->
00:19:34,720
predict. The main delivery route is the
410
00:19:32,960 -->
00:19:37,360
impulse.
411
00:19:34,720 -->
00:19:40,240
The urge to call someone, to go
412
00:19:37,360 -->
00:19:43,200
somewhere, to open a certain book, to
413
00:19:40,240 -->
00:19:46,240
walk a different street. Seth says these
414
00:19:43,200 -->
00:19:47,919
arrive from the inner self. Each one
415
00:19:46,240 -->
00:19:51,120
carries a piece of the arrangement
416
00:19:47,919 -->
00:19:54,160
toward you. In framework two, the work
417
00:19:51,120 -->
00:19:57,919
is already done, and the impulse is its
418
00:19:54,160 -->
00:20:00,640
final step into the visible world.
419
00:19:57,919 -->
00:20:04,080
An impulse feels like a small sudden
420
00:20:00,640 -->
00:20:07,280
leaning. A true one feels calm and
421
00:20:04,080 -->
00:20:09,600
clear, never frantic and never forced,
422
00:20:07,280 -->
00:20:12,799
and it points toward life while asking
423
00:20:09,600 -->
00:20:15,919
for almost nothing. The trouble is what
424
00:20:12,799 -->
00:20:18,799
you were taught about impulses.
425
00:20:15,919 -->
00:20:22,000
You learn early to treat every sudden
426
00:20:18,799 -->
00:20:24,799
urge as random or unreliable,
427
00:20:22,000 -->
00:20:27,679
so you step right past the nudges that
428
00:20:24,799 -->
00:20:30,480
were leading you to what was arranged.
429
00:20:27,679 -->
00:20:32,960
Seth says people were taught to distrust
430
00:20:30,480 -->
00:20:36,480
their impulses and so they miss the
431
00:20:32,960 -->
00:20:39,919
directions the source keeps sending.
432
00:20:36,480 -->
00:20:42,080
The noticing is gentle and light. The
433
00:20:39,919 -->
00:20:45,039
impulse appears you feel whether it
434
00:20:42,080 -->
00:20:49,039
leans toward life and when it does
435
00:20:45,039 -->
00:20:52,320
following it happens almost by itself.
436
00:20:49,039 -->
00:20:54,559
Meetings start to look different too.
437
00:20:52,320 -->
00:20:58,000
Think of the person who happens to
438
00:20:54,559 -->
00:21:00,320
mention exactly what you needed. Think
439
00:20:58,000 -->
00:21:03,200
of the opportunity that appears through
440
00:21:00,320 -->
00:21:06,559
a side door or the timing that falls
441
00:21:03,200 -->
00:21:08,880
into place against all odds.
442
00:21:06,559 -->
00:21:11,760
Seth says there's no such thing as a
443
00:21:08,880 -->
00:21:14,640
chance encounter. What looks like
444
00:21:11,760 -->
00:21:16,320
coincidence is arrangement becoming
445
00:21:14,640 -->
00:21:19,120
visible.
446
00:21:16,320 -->
00:21:21,520
The odds that seem to stand against an
447
00:21:19,120 -->
00:21:25,120
event don't exist in framework [music]
448
00:21:21,520 -->
00:21:27,919
two because odds belong to the surface
449
00:21:25,120 -->
00:21:30,559
and the source has never heard of them.
450
00:21:27,919 -->
00:21:34,159
Your whole history of lucky breaks
451
00:21:30,559 -->
00:21:37,039
starts to look less like luck. And while
452
00:21:34,159 -->
00:21:40,320
you sleep, the two sides of you compare
453
00:21:37,039 -->
00:21:42,880
notes. Seth describes dreams as a
454
00:21:40,320 -->
00:21:45,440
meeting place between the you that faces
455
00:21:42,880 -->
00:21:48,559
the physical world and the you that
456
00:21:45,440 -->
00:21:51,760
works in framework too. In sleep, the
457
00:21:48,559 -->
00:21:54,640
conscious mind loosens its grip and the
458
00:21:51,760 -->
00:21:56,799
deeper side of you works on problems and
459
00:21:54,640 -->
00:21:59,840
seeds answers.
460
00:21:56,799 -->
00:22:02,480
They return by day as hunches, [music]
461
00:21:59,840 -->
00:22:04,480
feelings, and ideas that arrive with a
462
00:22:02,480 -->
00:22:07,440
strange readiness.
463
00:22:04,480 -->
00:22:10,159
The answer to an ask often reaches you
464
00:22:07,440 -->
00:22:14,159
before breakfast, wearing the clothes of
465
00:22:10,159 -->
00:22:16,480
an ordinary thought. At this point, the
466
00:22:14,159 -->
00:22:19,679
teaching can start to sound like
467
00:22:16,480 -->
00:22:22,320
manifestation with new words. And the
468
00:22:19,679 -->
00:22:24,400
difference between the two is what makes
469
00:22:22,320 -->
00:22:28,080
this one work.
470
00:22:24,400 -->
00:22:30,720
So, let's draw the line clearly. Typical
471
00:22:28,080 -->
00:22:33,200
manifestation teaching is still surface
472
00:22:30,720 -->
00:22:35,679
work. It tells you to repeat
473
00:22:33,200 -->
00:22:38,880
affirmations, visualize the outcome
474
00:22:35,679 -->
00:22:41,440
harder, and demand the result louder.
475
00:22:38,880 -->
00:22:43,919
And it moves all your attention onto the
476
00:22:41,440 -->
00:22:45,919
visible prize.
477
00:22:43,919 -->
00:22:49,120
That's the same pushing in a new
478
00:22:45,919 -->
00:22:51,440
costume. And the strain underneath is
479
00:22:49,120 -->
00:22:54,320
identical because you're still watching
480
00:22:51,440 -->
00:22:58,320
the door instead of speaking to what is
481
00:22:54,320 -->
00:23:00,559
behind it. The prize keeps moving and
482
00:22:58,320 -->
00:23:03,919
the watching never rests. So the
483
00:23:00,559 -->
00:23:07,039
tiredness always comes back.
484
00:23:03,919 -->
00:23:10,159
Framework two doesn't respond to volume
485
00:23:07,039 -->
00:23:12,320
and it doesn't respond to performance.
486
00:23:10,159 -->
00:23:14,240
It responds to alignment, the quiet
487
00:23:12,320 -->
00:23:17,600
agreement between your intent, your
488
00:23:14,240 -->
00:23:20,159
belief and your trust. When those point
489
00:23:17,600 -->
00:23:23,360
the same way, the message is clean and
490
00:23:20,159 -->
00:23:26,159
the source moves with it. When they
491
00:23:23,360 -->
00:23:28,960
disagree, no amount of repetition
492
00:23:26,159 -->
00:23:31,919
settles the argument because what you
493
00:23:28,960 -->
00:23:33,600
expect underneath keeps having the last
494
00:23:31,919 -->
00:23:36,000
word.
495
00:23:33,600 -->
00:23:39,280
That's why the deeper level can't be
496
00:23:36,000 -->
00:23:41,120
faked. The words can be borrowed, but
497
00:23:39,280 -->
00:23:43,200
the expectation [music] can't because
498
00:23:41,120 -->
00:23:46,960
the expectation is what the source
499
00:23:43,200 -->
00:23:50,159
hears. So the work, if it can be called
500
00:23:46,960 -->
00:23:52,400
work, is the honest settling of what you
501
00:23:50,159 -->
00:23:55,600
actually expect.
502
00:23:52,400 -->
00:23:58,559
Time stops being the enemy too. Time
503
00:23:55,600 -->
00:24:02,080
belongs to framework one and at the
504
00:23:58,559 -->
00:24:04,960
source arrangement is instant. Seth says
505
00:24:02,080 -->
00:24:07,120
actions that take years to complete in
506
00:24:04,960 -->
00:24:10,240
physical time can happen in the blink of
507
00:24:07,120 -->
00:24:13,679
an eye. In framework two,
508
00:24:10,240 -->
00:24:15,840
what takes longer here is the meeting of
509
00:24:13,679 -->
00:24:18,880
everything involved. The readiness of
510
00:24:15,840 -->
00:24:22,000
other people and the path that carries
511
00:24:18,880 -->
00:24:24,799
the event to you whole. The waiting
512
00:24:22,000 -->
00:24:27,679
isn't emptiness. It's the last stretch
513
00:24:24,799 -->
00:24:31,039
of a road. And the road is already
514
00:24:27,679 -->
00:24:34,559
carrying your answer toward you. And
515
00:24:31,039 -->
00:24:37,760
this is why reality can't refuse the ask
516
00:24:34,559 -->
00:24:40,320
that comes from the source. Refusal
517
00:24:37,760 -->
00:24:43,279
would mean the creative process stops
518
00:24:40,320 -->
00:24:46,240
and it doesn't stop. It's the same
519
00:24:43,279 -->
00:24:49,279
process that grows your body, times your
520
00:24:46,240 -->
00:24:51,440
heartbeat, and builds your days. and
521
00:24:49,279 -->
00:24:54,400
it's already responding to your inner
522
00:24:51,440 -->
00:24:56,880
direction in every moment.
523
00:24:54,400 -->
00:25:00,559
That's the difference between asking and
524
00:24:56,880 -->
00:25:04,480
begging. Begging argues with what is and
525
00:25:00,559 -->
00:25:07,200
asking trusts what is already forming.
526
00:25:04,480 -->
00:25:09,840
The ask doesn't force a response out of
527
00:25:07,200 -->
00:25:13,039
reality. It chooses [music] what the
528
00:25:09,840 -->
00:25:15,760
response is working on. With that
529
00:25:13,039 -->
00:25:18,320
understanding in place, daily life
530
00:25:15,760 -->
00:25:21,440
starts to read differently and the
531
00:25:18,320 -->
00:25:23,520
changes show up in places you might not
532
00:25:21,440 -->
00:25:25,840
expect.
533
00:25:23,520 -->
00:25:28,640
The first thing that changes is the
534
00:25:25,840 -->
00:25:31,760
weight. When the how is no longer your
535
00:25:28,640 -->
00:25:35,440
burden, effort stops carrying the whole
536
00:25:31,760 -->
00:25:38,159
load of your life. You still act, you
537
00:25:35,440 -->
00:25:40,799
still move, and the work still happens
538
00:25:38,159 -->
00:25:43,360
through you. But the strain goes out of
539
00:25:40,799 -->
00:25:46,240
the doing. That happens because a
540
00:25:43,360 -->
00:25:48,480
portion of the work was never yours, and
541
00:25:46,240 -->
00:25:51,919
now you know it.
542
00:25:48,480 -->
00:25:55,440
Seth calls this the magical approach and
543
00:25:51,919 -->
00:25:57,760
he ties it to the art of relaxation. The
544
00:25:55,440 -->
00:26:00,559
creative work happens through ease, he
545
00:25:57,760 -->
00:26:04,640
says, and relaxation is what lets it
546
00:26:00,559 -->
00:26:06,640
through. Attention shifts too. Instead
547
00:26:04,640 -->
00:26:09,600
of waiting on the result, you start
548
00:26:06,640 -->
00:26:13,520
watching the day for what is forming.
549
00:26:09,600 -->
00:26:16,080
You notice the hunch, the small opening,
550
00:26:13,520 -->
00:26:18,559
the person who says one useful sentence,
551
00:26:16,080 -->
00:26:21,840
and the timing that works when it had no
552
00:26:18,559 -->
00:26:24,880
reason to. Life starts feeling less like
553
00:26:21,840 -->
00:26:27,840
a wall and more like a conversation. And
554
00:26:24,880 -->
00:26:31,679
the day starts answering back, which
555
00:26:27,840 -->
00:26:34,640
changes how the whole day tastes.
556
00:26:31,679 -->
00:26:37,679
impulses get a gentler welcome. The
557
00:26:34,640 -->
00:26:40,720
nudge to rest, the pull toward a certain
558
00:26:37,679 -->
00:26:43,520
street, the sudden idea to reach out to
559
00:26:40,720 -->
00:26:46,000
someone. You follow these lightly, one
560
00:26:43,520 -->
00:26:49,039
at a time, without overthinking each
561
00:26:46,000 -->
00:26:50,559
one, and a natural rhythm appears on its
562
00:26:49,039 -->
00:26:53,440
own.
563
00:26:50,559 -->
00:26:56,320
You state an intent and release it. You
564
00:26:53,440 -->
00:26:59,279
watch the day with easy interest, and
565
00:26:56,320 -->
00:27:02,320
you recognize the answer when it knocks.
566
00:26:59,279 -->
00:27:05,760
Gratitude rises by itself and that's a
567
00:27:02,320 -->
00:27:08,240
clean message sent back to the source.
568
00:27:05,760 -->
00:27:10,720
Then the next intent forms and the
569
00:27:08,240 -->
00:27:13,919
rhythm turns again.
570
00:27:10,720 -->
00:27:16,960
Nobody installs this rhythm and you just
571
00:27:13,919 -->
00:27:19,760
notice it was already there.
572
00:27:16,960 -->
00:27:23,200
The relationship with time rearranges
573
00:27:19,760 -->
00:27:26,320
quietly. Deadlines still exist and days
574
00:27:23,200 -->
00:27:28,640
still end. But the pressure of forcing
575
00:27:26,320 -->
00:27:30,480
life through every hour starts to
576
00:27:28,640 -->
00:27:32,799
loosen.
577
00:27:30,480 -->
00:27:35,600
Things come together through roots that
578
00:27:32,799 -->
00:27:39,440
planning could never force. And you
579
00:27:35,600 -->
00:27:42,880
leave more room for that to happen. Seth
580
00:27:39,440 -->
00:27:44,880
says spontaneity knows its own order.
581
00:27:42,880 -->
00:27:47,840
And living from the source means
582
00:27:44,880 -->
00:27:51,039
trusting that order more and more. The
583
00:27:47,840 -->
00:27:53,440
surface keeps moving one moment after
584
00:27:51,039 -->
00:27:56,399
another. and you stop treating the
585
00:27:53,440 -->
00:27:59,919
surface as the whole story.
586
00:27:56,399 -->
00:28:02,320
Even the body settles into this. The
587
00:27:59,919 -->
00:28:05,440
same support that builds your days keeps
588
00:28:02,320 -->
00:28:08,159
renewing your body from framework too.
589
00:28:05,440 -->
00:28:11,679
And trusting the process lets go of the
590
00:28:08,159 -->
00:28:14,399
daily tension that worry keeps adding.
591
00:28:11,679 -->
00:28:17,360
Rest stops being a reward for finished
592
00:28:14,399 -->
00:28:20,000
work and it starts being part of how the
593
00:28:17,360 -->
00:28:22,960
creation gets done.
594
00:28:20,000 -->
00:28:25,520
Reality can't refuse you because it's
595
00:28:22,960 -->
00:28:28,559
already answering you in every moment
596
00:28:25,520 -->
00:28:31,679
and your ask decides what the answer
597
00:28:28,559 -->
00:28:35,279
works on. What matters is where the ask
598
00:28:31,679 -->
00:28:38,000
comes from, not the words you use.
599
00:28:35,279 -->
00:28:41,039
Notice what you've been asking for all
600
00:28:38,000 -->
00:28:44,000
along with what you expect and what you
601
00:28:41,039 -->
00:28:46,559
trust because that's where your answer
602
00:28:44,000 -->
00:28:49,840
is already forming.
