“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would suggest that our friend with the ulcer read our last two previous sessions, for this will bring home to him the fact that he does indeed, literally, consider his ulcer as much a part of himself as an arm or a leg. He considers the ulcer, in fact, more real and necessary than an arm or a leg, since his whole life now revolves about this illness.

What is required of them both in their daily working lives is in many respects precisely the same. They are both excellent salesmen. They are both intimately familiar with the use of energy, in that they are able to use their own energy to affect the minds of other individuals. But their reactions are entirely different, and Philip’s past life experiences prepared him for the nature of his present occupation, where he is dealing with medicinal matters.

(Seth dealt with one of John’s past lives and his connection with medicine in an amusing way during the 21st session, of February 3,1964. John knocked on our door during the session, but since we had not yet begun having witnesses, we asked him to return later. As soon as the door closed behind John, Seth went into a rather lengthy rundown on him, much to our surprise. At that time, neither Jane or I had seen John very many times.)

(She ended the session with a smile, referring to the survey discussed by John before the session began. This was a detailed psychological questionnaire that John had recently completed for his drug company, Searle. John felt that the questions were loaded, that his answers, which were very frank, would be used in considering him for advancement.

Nevertheless, I did not do so, and I feel duty bound to mention the fact that Ruburt’s performance was dishonest, and there was no good reason for it. It would be much better for him also if he stayed out of the investigation that he so gleefully entered into with Peggy Gallagher, concerning the so-called mediums in your town.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of an investigation. Ruburt simply should not be involved in it. It is not his place. It is not his area, and because of his conscientiousness, and hardheadedness, he would be much harder on these women than is necessary. But the thought of him baiting an elderly 72-year-old self-deluded woman is too much.

The reorganization however will occur before this time, and there will be talk of changes for him, as there have been, and some minor changes will occur. But the main change in Philip’s condition with the company will not occur until after the inevitable reorganization.

However I will add a few notes. Philip is now being seriously watched and considered for another position. His immediate superior is basically not his friend, although personally they may get along well. It is others in higher positions who are watching him.

If he uses his patience it will be for his best advantage, everything taken into consideration, to remain with his present company, and his impatience will not serve him well if he leaps too fast.

(John did not know of any smaller drug company near Minneapolis, he said, but could check that area in a directory in the library of his hometown, Williamsport, PA. We usually see him every month or six weeks; if he unearths some pertinent information he will let us know by a card or letter so that it can be inserted in the record.

There was in the past disagreement as to his capability in the field of human relationships, as far as the ordinary person is concerned. The impetus that allowed him to become involved is only too well now recognized within the company.

(John agreed with Seth. He said that as far back as last January his suspicions had become aroused, when one of his superiors had mentioned John’s involvement with a political organization. John had not told anyone in the company about his activities in politics at that time. From what Seth said in the above delivery, John now believes he knows who the individual is who might be passing along information about him.)
