“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are quite right. The solution hit upon is an excellent one, and I had nothing to do with it, having decided that I was much safer if I left such decisions to you from now on. All joking aside, this latest idea should really be an excellent one, and I would have suggested it myself except that I could not get through to Ruburt. He has felt guilty over the thought of taking any space from you, and the guilt made him feel resentful.

I am quite pleased, you will benefit by this, and also from the other changes in your establishment that you have been considering, including a method of using the back room all year. Resentment had a lot to do with Ruburt’s banging around. Not resentment at you, Joseph, but resentment because he felt guilty for not being satisfied. If you intend to stay where you are for any amount of time, then you would do well to get the most out of your establishment, and the enlargement being contemplated would be very beneficial.

(This reference concerns new tenants who have moved into the second-floor apartment of the house next door. Although our house is separated from it by quite an expanse of lawn, our new neighbor is quite obvious as he walks back and forth before his picture window in his undershirt. Jane considers this bad manners.)

(She said she also had the feeling the quality of this material had something to do with psychological time, yet in a way that had nothing to do with gaining time. She felt Seth would discuss this after break. She sat down during part of her delivery at Seth’s bidding, so that I wouldn’t miss any of the material. Also, her broadly smiling face felt different than usual to her; Jane said she really felt Seth’s emotions during this delivery, and added that Seth thought he was being smart.

Ruburt was your son, as you well know. And he was a painter, so that the art gallery is an ironic place for Ruburt and this woman to meet.

(I laughed. Seth-Jane was also quite amused. Seth has often referred to my life in Denmark in the 1600’s as being one of the flesh, and has said that his own was not much better. The material on the preceding page is about as definite as he has yet been on what actually transpired there. He has also stated that he will have much fun with Jane and me as he reveals those existences to us. This seems to be a case in point.)
