“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley also brought with him carbon copies of the beginning sessions, which a friend of his in Williamsport has been typing up for Jane and me. Needless to say we are most grateful.

Philip cannot be different than he is, and any attempt at pretense will betray him, and not serve his purpose. His value to his company is appreciated by his superiors, and in the meeting which will take place, his stand as an individual is his main hope of success.

If he takes a stand as an individual, despite the pressure against him, he will get most of what he desires, and compromises will be worked out to his satisfaction. His point of approach will be best if it follows closely the following suggestions.

This same originality and independence that made him an extraordinary salesman, will operate even more effectively if he is in a higher position of responsibility. His individuality and originality and determination actually represent his value to the company, and they know it.

Any compromise of principle on Philip’s part will be interpreted not as compromise, but as weakness, and will work against the respect with which they now view him.

(It was of course very dark, but we could see a few lights in the valley below. The night was just right. John parked his car so the headlights illuminated the house to a good degree, and we showed him about as best we could without a key to get inside. We sat on the long wide front porch and drank the beer. Jane had originated this idea, and she thought there was a chance Seth might come through while we were on the property, but he did not.
