“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Richard Bach, the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, left this morning after having been our guest since Monday, the 28th. He called Jane last Friday from his home in Bridgehampton, New York; he wanted some insights into his writing of Seagull; Richard attended ESP class last night, and heard Seth, Sumari, etc. Jane also gave an excellent reading for him.

It is therefore no coincidence that Richard was a student of Nebene’s, and the material on the reincarnational aspects (that Jane gave in ESP class last night) is quite correct. In so helping Ruburt, he (Richard) is also paying back a service to Nebene, for he owed him much.

(Richard’s editor at Macmillan wants to see whatever work Jane has available, that is uncommitted.)

(Timothy Foote, senior editor in charge of the book review department for Time Magazine, interviewed Jane and me today in connection with a cover story he is to write about Richard Bach and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

[...] He told us his review for Richard Bach wouldn’t “be hostile;” he didn’t particularly like the book. [...]

Eleanor’s and Richard’s acceptance of Ruburt, and of all his abilities, was important also. [...]

[...] Jane received a telegram from Richard Kearns a few days before the 23rd. [...]

(In mid-February, Richard Kearns finally called Jane, to tell her he’d been fired from Gallery. [...]

(We thought the session was over, but began discussing Richard Bach’s postcard of November 10, mentioning that he could accept a reincarnational hint or two. [...]

For Richard the name Andrews (spelled) or Andrus is significant. [...]

[...] Richard then learns to operate the controls, and revels in the expertise. [...]

For several years after Jane’s death, I explored possible publishing ventures with old and trusted friends — people who, like Richard Kendall and Suzanne Delisle, sincerely wanted to see Jane’s and my work kept in print. Richard had been a member of Jane’s ESP class in the 1970s. [...]

[...] (RC, as everyone calls it, was founded by Maude Cardwell in June 1980; she began it as a two-page mimeographed newsletter.) Richard Roberts, of Vernal Equinox Press, published A Seth Reader, a volume consisting of excerpts from six of the Seth books. [...]

(Richard Kendall felt he was given a gift.)

[...] Sumari came through with an experience involving Phil, who was on trial, Pete K., and Jed Martz as witnesses, Richard as the judge and Natalie as the scribe. [...]

(At about the same time Emir was mailed, Jane sent Richard Bach “a crazy poem” that she’d written a couple of days earlier. Sunday, Richard called us from either Nevada or California. [...]

(Certainly the Richard Bach-Eleanor Friede affair is reactivating a probability that was available, of course—or one could say that Jane decided to draw from Framework 2 those certain elements to work with in Framework 1. Interesting to see what happens.

[...] Before the session I asked if Seth would discuss the Time Magazine cover story about Richard Bach in the November 13th issue, published November 6; and the various predictions made re sales, etc., in the recent deleted sessions.)

(“Can you tell us something about my brother Richard?”

(Jane dictates:) Richard Grayson. [...]

(Timothy is Timothy Foote, book editor of Time Magazine, who interviewed Jane last Friday, October 13, concerning a cover story on Richard Bach, etc.)

(Last Sunday, in the death notices in this section for the week of January 9-15,1946, I noted the name Richard J. Watts. We wondered if Richard Watts bore any connection to Frank, and I made a point of mentioning it just before session time tonight. [...]

(I now mentioned the Richard Watts death notice of twenty years ago, described in the notes on page 212.)

(G.M.—George Richard Morris.

Now: by the standards your brother Richard once believed in, and by the standards that your sister-in-law once believed in, they are both relatively successful.

[...] It seemed to him, with the force of old beliefs, that Ida, Richard and the children were indeed driven willy-nilly by contradictory impulses, and that their lives lack any organizing inner purpose.

[...] Possibly Richard Bach and his editor, Eleanor Friede, were involved. [...]

(A note: Jane received a letter from Richard Bach the next day. [...]

(Richard Bach and his editor, Eleanor Friede, who witnessed the 618th session for September 28, 1972. [...]

[...] You, Ruburt, Aerofranz and Richard are then all connected.

(Re the sentence by Seth about a book for Macmillan Co.: Richard Bach, of Seagull fame, and his editor from Macmillan, Eleanor Friede, are to visit us on Tuesday, September 19, according to a note Jane has received from him.)

[...] He wants to talk to her later this week in connection with a cover story he is to write about Richard Bach. [...]

Ruburt saw Seagull, or Richard, as a child who followed Eleanor’s advice, and in watching Richard’s career, was able to see more clearly what that kind of career meant.

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. [...]

Your brother Richard, and Loren also, are undergoing necessary experience as males. [...]

[...] This is why you trust the male qualities in Ruburt; why Richard chose a family in which he married where the males have been dominant, and why Loren chose for a wife a woman with more vitality than he.
