“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Another batch of letters arrived from Prentice-Hall today, adding to the pile. [...]

[...] The piece was written by John Beloff: Psi Phenomena: Causal Versus Acausal Interpretation. Beloff is one to whom I want to send a copy of “Unknown” Reality when we receive copies from Prentice-Hall.

[...] He became angry, and still is, when you show normal criticism of Prentice and their dealings with our books, or his, because he feels that you do not really understand how difficult it is to market creative work, and since you do not sell your paintings you should not criticize his admittedly worrisome efforts. [...]

[...] Tam is Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, Inc.

(In my original and unpublished notes in Session 520 in Seth Speaks I listed three chances for the fruition of Seth’s prediction: The mention in Cosmopolitan of Jane’s ESP book for April 1970; Tam’s news about New American Library being very interested in the Seth material book; or Jane’s contract for the dream book being in the mail from Prentice-Hall.)

[...] (Jane has been told that everyone at Prentice-Hall, her publishing house, “just loves” Emir.) A couple of weeks ago Sue Watkins delivered the last two chapters of the manuscript for Psyche that she’s been typing for us; we still have to check that book and finish the notes for it. [...]

[...] The data was to the effect that she’d hear from Prentice-Hall within three or four days; but she didn’t voice it because she had been distorting predictions recently, and didn’t want to do so again now.)

(This afternoon Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, Tam Mossman, called her re the Seth book Jane is completing for P/H. Tam also had a couple of questions, which Seth begins to answer in this session.

(Today Jane called John Nelson and Tam, and learned where I am to sign the Seven contract, and that Prentice-Hall would be receptive to her third Seven novel. [...]

[...] On that day Tam Mossman of Prentice-Hall called Sue Watkins to ask her permission to publish Conversations With Seth in two volumes; Sue’s account of Jane’s ESP classes is now too long for a single book. [...]

[...] [Tam is Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall.]

[...] After all, we do have money; money also is due from her father’s estate, royalties, Rich Bed eventually, and the sale of paperback rights by Prentice-Hall; ESP class also helps—Jane said she enjoys the class. [...]

[...] The info above covers Dr. Gene Bernard’s recent letter on our behalf to Prentice-Hall, and Raymond Van Over’s telepathic understanding of same.)

[...] At the same time, Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, is trying to find out whether the Dutch edition of Seth Speaks has been published. [...] As soon as Prentice-Hall receives its shipment of books from the Netherlands, Tam will forward the copies due us. [...]

[...] Prentice-Hall will publish it. [...]

(Jane received about 50 letters, forwarded from Prentice-Hall today. [...]

Over the weekend we’d signed the contracts with our publisher, Prentice-Hall, for Mass Events and God of Jane, and I mailed them this morning. [...]

(For the record: This last material may have come through because I got angry yesterday when I discovered that Prentice-Hall had run a two-page ad in the NY Times Book Section, for Sunday, December 2, without mentioning any of the Seth books. [...]

(Jane and I have been reviewing the original manuscript for Volume I of “Unknown” Reality, which was returned to us for this purpose by Prentice-Hall after the editor and copyeditor had gone over it. [...]

[...] She had been working hard on her projected book, and was also concerned because she hadn’t heard from either F. Fell or Prentice-Hall. [...]

The Prentice letter caused him to react with a burst of spontaneous pleasure. [...]
