“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Hormonal changes are also being accomplished. Now: Seven can be counted upon, as Ruburt knows; and Sumari physicians are assisting. There is a different kind of relationship with Seven. Ruburt’s state of consciousness is different when he approaches Seven.

Give us a moment.... Ruburt does not have to displace himself to the same degree that he does in our sessions, so he is more aware of (three dots) . . . Seven’s material coming to him. In our case he almost “becomes” the material he receives. If certain other beneficial alterations occur, and further understanding on Ruburt’s part, we may be able to meet at other levels of consciousness, in the dream state, when he is not cooperating in the production of our material.

All of the information from Seven has been correct.

(“How is Seven going to do?” I was trying to get some good news to cheer Jane up. The back cover of the paperback Seth Speaks carries a full page advertisement for Seven.)

(11:33 PM.) Ruburt has been worried about the sale of Oversoul Seven, and also waiting for the paperback—afraid that after all the book might be late in its printing.

[...] The worry about Seven however was important, and the call today of benefit (to Prentice-Hall)—as the production of this book (The “Unknown” Reality) will be.

[...] The worry over Seven, for example, was not strong enough to cause such a reaction if the habitual body pattern was being consciously recognized and encountered.

The Neuman adventure shows the high activity in Framework 2 for Oversoul Seven, but is also an offshoot of your own new feelings of hope regarding Ruburt’s situation. That adventure alone is rearousing Ruburt’s feelings toward Seven, and his anticipated renegotiation of the Seven contract is a direct result of your pendulum activity and understandings.

[...] For the record: Tuesday last, Alan Neuman called Jane to tell her that he had decided to make a movie of Seven himself, instead of trying to interest others in doing so. [...] He told Jane a lot of technical and legal details she didn’t very well understand, but he is certainly sincere, she thinks, about Seven. [...]

He received excellent ideas the other night, for Seven, after painting all day. [...]

I told you a long time ago that Seven would be a movie (probably at its time of publication in July, 1973).

(Five weeks ago [in the notes leading off Session 821], I wrote that Jane could resume work on The Further Education of Oversoul Seven — or Seven Two — at any time. She finished her first novel about Seven in July 1972, and within a month, long before it was published, she wrote the first five chapters for Seven Two. [...] “Seven’s got all the time in the world,” she laughed more than once. But now that her editor, Tam Mossman, has scheduled a visit to us at the hill house in a couple of weeks [on April 10, to be exact], Jane feels that she wants to study what she’s done on Seven Two, go over it with Tam, and perhaps take up work on it again.)

[...] The Seven books are considered novels, yet they are not science fiction. [...] Some people who read our other books are afraid to read the Seven ones—for if Ruburt writes fiction, which means not fact, then they fear the line between fact and fiction blurs, and where is the Truth, in capital letters?

[...] He has begun Seven, and so it must be finished (underlined), because, while he loves the book, he has begun to think of it as “work.” [...]

[...] Now: Pocket Books did not know what to do with Seven. [...]

Besides this, however, there are certain other elements working along with the Seven books.

[...] Until he produced Seven, however, he would not really consider facing the dilemma. Seven was the novel that showed him he could (underlined) write fiction.

Now Seven will have its own following. It will become a mass product, however, and Tam will be involved as he has already been involved with Seven.

[...] Some time ago, after Seven, he mentioned my book, my new book, to Ruburt, and Ruburt said he did not want to contract trance material ahead of time, so Tam let it rest.

[...] He will be connected with Seven and a movie. [...]

(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. She was also reminded by Tam that Pocket Books has bought the paperback rights to the second Seven, which we had quite forgotten about. The advance was cut considerably from that given for the first Seven also. Pocket Books hasn’t scheduled Seven #2 for publication yet, as far as we know.

[...] The night before, she’d come up with good material about how to conclude her third Seven novel. [...]

[...] 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. [...] Then Jane, in a typical burst of inspiration the next day, began writing her third Seven book: Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time.

[...] Tam called Jane to inform her that Eleanor called John Nelson [which Jane already knew] —but that Eleanor and her screenwriter friend had the money to do a movie for Seven. [...] Clare Townsend of 20th Century-Fox called Tam today and asked about seeing the manuscript of Jane’s second Oversoul Seven book, which Jane has just begun typing. Townsend is involved with Alan Neuman, of course, who also wants to do a movie of the first Seven book, etc. [...]

[...] Oversoul Seven is also involved in some fashion, especially the movie aspects —for when Jane called Eleanor Friede to offer her Emir, Eleanor told Jane she was about to call her about Seven, the call having to do with possible motion picture connotations, through a well-known screenwriter; that is the kind of event intertwined with the whole affair; nor have Jane and Eleanor contacted each other for probably a couple of years.

[...] Jane feared the book, which she regards as the beginning of Oversoul Seven, would be lost in a tiny printing. [...]

Seven was available, for Ruburt did realize that Seven represented legitimate playful, spontaneous and creative elements that he often inhibited. [...]

[...] And Seven will be easily accomplished. [...]

(Seth’s reference to—concerns a new Oversoul Seven book Jane has just begun. [...]

(Pat called John unethical because he told Bantam that Pocket Books was interested in acquiring Seven. Bantam, who had the original option on Seven, then bid higher for the three projected Sevens than Pocket Books has so far—the latter has until this Wednesday to bid against Bantam’s $50,000 offer.

[...] There’s no need to go into all the complicated details here; it’s enough to say that the photos Bantam used in Seth Speaks were involved, especially the cover shot of Jane; as well as bids for Oversoul Seven between Pocket Books and Bantam; Jane’s fears that she’d end up committed for two more Seven books she hasn’t written yet; and various misunderstandings concerning ethics, expired option, and an offer to Jane to go to work for Simon & Schuster-Pocket Books, and to take Tam with her.

(Perhaps we should be flattered that the last we heard of the bidding saw Bantam making an offer to Prentice of $50,000 for the present Seven, plus the next two.... [...]

[...] We speculated that her creative self, knowing the completion of Seven is in sight, wanted her to have another project underway. [...] The irony of the situation is that she’s been doing very well on Seven; just yesterday she’d remarked that she intended to begin typing finished copy for the chapters she’s completed so far. But now she’d laid Seven aside — for who knows how long?

(This morning, while working on Chapter 18 of Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, she’d abruptly felt the impulse to move into another room; she wanted to get away from the sunlight glaring through the thin drapes covering the sliding glass doors of her study at the back of the house. [...]

(The call was over our speakerphone, so Jane could hear SC when he said that her Seven III “was charming,” and that he liked it very much. [...] Jane was very pleased that SC liked Seven, since I learned that she’d been worrying about this. [...]

[...] The call was in response to my letter to Nancy on October 22, re Tam telling Jane that Pocket Books had published the paperback edition of Seven II. [...]

[...] SC’s praise for Seven III must be another one of those predicted good things that are going to come our way out of Framework 2....” [...]

(Jane started Oversoul Seven in late March, 1972. She finished Oversoul Seven in late July, 1972.)

Oversoul Seven and Cyprus do exist, though in different terms than he may imagine them, and the whole episode allows him to work creatively with fiction, and creatively with his psychic abilities.

[...] Jane completed Seven Two in August, and set to work preparing the manuscript for Tam. [...] Jane finished typing her manuscript for Seven Two on October 3, and I helped her correct that book for mailing on October 9. My own mailings for Volume 2 continued until the 21st of the month, when at last that very long project was completed and out of the house in its entirety for the first time. [...]

[...] No sooner had she left than Tam arrived, two days later, bringing with him the copyedited manuscript² of Seven Two for us to check; on the 20th, our work completed on it, I sent it back to him at Prentice-Hall. We received the printer’s sample pages for Seven Two on December 4 [we see these for each book, and they show us just how the work will look when published]. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

[...] When he left he took with him a contract signed by Jane for Oversoul Seven, plus two more Sevens, should she ever write them. Bantam and Pocket Books were interested in acquiring the first Seven. Today Tam notified Jane that Pocket Books had won the bidding—acquiring the rights to the three Sevens for $75,000.)

[...] Oversoul Seven, the main character, achieved his own kind of reality. I’d say mentally, “Okay, Seven, let’s have the next chapter,” and there it was as quickly as I could write it down. [...]

I know that Seven and his teacher, Cyprus, exist in certain terms, yet their reality can’t be explained either in the usual fact world. [...] I could also tune into Seven for help with personal challenges, I discovered.

[...] Sit on porch in back all afternoon, and read Seven; PM Frank comes; confirms the changes since he’s seen me last—from the chiropractor’s standpoint.

[...] Connection with a meeting at seven, or by seven. [...]

(“Connection with a meeting at seven, or by seven.” [...]

[...] Seven and three. [...]
