“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After the second foot of snow fell last weekend, the tenants of the house waited as usual for the landlord to appear with his plow. Drifts several feet deep had piled up in the driveway and against the garages. The landlord did not appear. Three days went by. It developed that he had thought we could shovel our own way out. By this time of course recriminations were beginning to fly back and forth by phone, although this did not involve Jane and me. Finally one of the tenants threatened to move, after feelings had been bruised all around. The situation was not without its comic aspects.

I do not seem to see a courtroom situation however, but a settling up, or an agreement to settle up. An admission and settlement of some kind, through a lawyer. Perhaps a penalty paid, but with no confinement. A lawyer convinces him to settle, and avoid going to court, and through certain manipulations this part of it will be taken care of. (Another long pause.) Some money will be borrowed. The hill property will be sold, or used for collateral. Stocks will be sold. He will not lose his own house because of this.

One note: since much of this session has to do with personal material concerning your landlord, I did not mean earlier to point out to you your own reaction, Joseph, which has been excellent to the situation in general.

Your improvement is noted here more strongly, for you have refused to become very much annoyed, and you have almost automatically adjusted your reaction. The situation is entirely different because of your reaction.

Your reaction has changed the situation for the better. Not only so far as you and Ruburt are concerned, but as far as those others involved. Because of your most sensible reaction, the whole situation is much less bothersome than it would be otherwise. Not only for you but for your neighbors.
