“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He could indeed press for better clauses now, but in one way he would lose a certain advantage. He is an unknown quantity to the publisher to a large degree. His letter, however, did make an impression upon Mr. Fell. Ruburt is the underdog at this point. He has however gained several advantages, as you know, in altering the terms originally offered.

(Jane now took a very long pause, sitting quite still for well over a minute.)

A trip now would not be nearly as advantageous as a trip later. Ruburt’s concern should be with his manuscript. After this book he will be in a much better bargaining position. The added worries involved are not now worth the mental and psychic strains that they would cause.

This endeavor, the book, should be carried on now unceasingly, with periods of complete relaxation or change weekends. But the work should be intensive during the week.

(Jane now began to cough. She had been sipping some fruit juice at break. The coughing was not violent but it became persistent. She sat with her eyes closed for a minute or two while she tried to control it.)

Ruburt now is in a very relaxed state. I will leave him in it, and close this short but most fruitful session. Wednesday’s session however will be a long and compact one. Longer perhaps in time than usual, and even more compact in terms of material delivered.

(For many months now both Jane and I have followed a practice of making perhaps half a dozen predictions for the following day. Usually each one consists of three or four words at the most. On the day the predictions were made for, we check them against what we can consciously remember of the day’s events. It is great fun to make them, and was Jane’s idea originally.

Tell Ruburt that he can now rest assured concerning the book.

We will return to our regular sessions, and to a continuation of our discussions. You will both be better off however for this evening’s session, and I think you will notice an assured, calm, yet sure increase in Ruburt’s energies. You are doing very well, incidentally. I bid you now both a fond good evening. And if Ruburt does not watch out, then I will charge him 10 percent as his agent.
