“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

On April 17, 1968—I got request from a Tam Mossman to do a book on Seth Material, using portions of the best chapters from dream book that deal with Seth.

This involves request from other publisher—same connection with February (the initials would be T. M. rather than Seth Material) and it would be a year off. Have no idea what Mossman looks like, etc. No travel.

(Did receive an acknowledgement of manuscript prospectus from a Jean Schaefer or the sound Mossman.)

[...] The Mossman weekend will have far-reaching effects.

Timothy Mossman was subconsciously aware that he would meet me when he read Ruburt’s manuscript. [...]

[...] Eve represented the nighttime as well as a name, and this led to a future possibility, a minor accident involving Mr. Mossman’s Eve. [...]

Another accident, a probability, is a future one, involving Tam Mossman’s Eve. [...]

(Jane had a call from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall today, during which we obtained some confirmation on points made by Seth in a recent session. [...]

[...] Mossman during his call today told Jane that his girl Eve broke her right arm over the past weekend, sometime during the 20th-22nd. [...]

[...] Today Tam Mossman confirmed that Eve does ride to work at Prentice-Hall with a woman fitting Seth’s description, including the age given; he said eve would ride with him on the specified days in order to alter the probabilities.

(A few more notes from the Mossman phone call to Jane today: Tam told Jane the book on the Seth material was practically a certainty; that is, as certain as one can get until a contract is signed. [...]

(On June 27 Jane had received a letter from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall, requesting information on Dr. Instream, Dr. Bernard, both psychologists; and on Ray Van Over. [...]

Would you then take the following letter addressed to Mr. Mossman and Miss Carr, jointly? [...]

(For the benefit of T. Mossman and Miss Carr: Had I interrupted this data to ask questions, Seth could have explained in detail any of the above general statements. [...]

[...] 23 Tam Mossman wrote us that Hans Holzer would consider doing the introduction for the Seth Material, provided he was listed as co-author. [...] We had known Mossman might ask Holzer to do an intro, but Holzer’s demand to co-author the book was not suspected by us.

[...] A note: Jane called Tam Mossman of Prentice-Hall this afternoon.)

The book data had to do with the letter from Mossman.

(Tam Mossman, editor at Prentice-Hall; they are considering publishing the Seth material. [...]

[...] At first I thought she was tired and simply didn’t want a session, after the intense weekend we had just spent with Tam Mossman, from Prentice-Hall. [...]

[...] Tam Mossman had been in it. [...]

(Jane thought she had been thinking about a Tam or a Cam, which of course apply to Tam Mossman or Bill Macdonnel. [...]

[...] This morning after I left for work, Jane lay down to experiment with psy-time, and had a dream involving Tam Mossman; the location of the dream, and possible out-of-body experience, was in back of our apartment house, though, and not in New York City where Tam and Eve live. [...]

The man at Prentice-Hall (Tam Mossman, an assistant editor), simply overstepped, as you both suspect. [...]

I believe there is an Alice connected with your Mr. Mossman.

[...] (Cecile Grossman was an editor at Prentice-Hall then.) Mossman has an uncle, I believe, of whom he is fond, or was fond. [...]

[...] (Pause; one of many in here.) Mr. Mossman has a tendency to go overboard. [...]

[...] I sent Psyche to Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall on the 22nd, and on the same day we received from him the page proofs for Seven Two. [...]

[...] Going over these two sets of material was routine; nothing had to be returned, and in each case Jane called Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall to give her approval and to make a few suggestions for changes. [...]

(Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, is to visit us tomorrow.)

[...] Tam Mossman is here as I write this. [...]

(Tam Mossman and Eve Naudain, witnesses.

(Before the session I’d asked Jane if Seth could comment upon the reported drop in sales of Seth Speaks recently as reported by Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall. [...]

(Tam Mossman, of Prentice-Hall, was a witness. [...]

[...] Tam Mossman said: “Seth was certainly into my imaginative life; also, he has me pegged psychologically.” [...]

[...] We expect to have the book ready for our editors, Tam Mossman and Lynne Lumsden, by the end of the year.

[...] It had started in mid-afternoon after she had received an OK from Tam Mossman re the publication of her book of poetry, Dialogues — at least as far as Tam is concerned. [...]

Now let me list some of those I know personally, and who have helped Jane and her work so much: Tam Mossman, Richard Kendall and Suzanne Delisle, Sue Watkins, Debbie Harris, Laurel Davies, Janet Mills, Lynda Dahl and Stan Ulkowski, Bob Terrio, Norman Friedman, Jeff Marcus, Juan Schoch, Michael Goode. [...]

Jane’s editor, Tam Mossman, who graduated from Yale, helped us contact officials at Sterling Memorial a year ago (in December 1978). [...]

[...] Tam Mossman did visit later that month, and at his urging Jane did go back to work on Seven Two with her old enthusiasm.

(Now another event took place in October 1978 that is most important to Jane and me: Sue Watkins received the go-ahead from Tam Mossman to write a book on the ESP classes that Jane had conducted for some seven and a half years, from the fall of 1967 to February 1975. [...]

[...] Jane called her editor at Prentice-Hall, Tam Mossman, who had no knowledge of the Dutch Seth Speaks being marketed either; he’s to check with Ankh-Hermes and let us know. [...]

[...] So with the help of our editor, Tam Mossman, and others at Prentice-Hall, the decision was made to publish Dreams in two volumes. [...]
