“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Subconsciously he exaggerates the dangers that will beset him as a result of the publication, and the actual facts will be a relief. He is in many ways extremely individualistic. He fights for what he believes in, but he also has strong docile tendencies, which are usually rather effectively controlled. These rise up, you see however, in direct proportion to the degree of his independent accomplishments, so that he then fears the accumulated results, social results, of what he has done. It is therefore fairly natural that when this accomplishment is being exteriorized he would become frightened of the opinion of his brethren. These are two faces of the same coin.

I told you that this book would change your lives. Not only would it represent the beginning of financial changes for the better, but it will affect your dealings with your fellow man, and put you in a different relationship with them. Ruburt knows this and becomes frightened. There is not need to be fearful. The means and the energy will be given to you both, or you would not have progressed to this stage.

There will be a rather sudden change of fortune, of which Ruburt is well aware. It is not immediate, but it is inevitable with the publication of the book, and he fears having money, even though he wants it.

In your dream you were afraid of falling, Joseph. You were legitimately projecting. To rid yourself of your fear you formed the image of a man falling, but you gave him a parachute.

Impression of light-colored hair on two, and a similarity. These I believe males. Perhaps a family resemblance, but a definite similarity in any case.

(“Fur.” I wrote this as fur, rather than fir, when Jane gave it, not knowing which she meant. I saw no connection, but as soon as she saw the scene on the postcard used as object, Jane said fur had been a reference to the white foamy water spray and surf. To her it had a definite resemblance to the white thick fur of our long-haired cat, Willy. As soon as Jane mentioned this resemblance I agreed with her.

(Jane mentioned the 4¢ postage stamp on the object; strictly speaking the stamp is not quite square, but if the stamp had been perceived clairvoyantly perhaps its shape was interpreted as a square.

(“The color red.” The only thing close to red on the object is the 4¢ postage stamp, current series, bearing Lincoln’s bust. This is a predominant red with a bluish tint. Seth hints at another possible meaning later, but we believe the stamp is the object referred to.

(“A small circular object with something on top of it, perhaps like a stem.” See the tracings on page 309. The postmark on the back of the object is of course small and circular. The small triangular design mentioned earlier is just above the postmark, to the right, and is of a line, or stemlike, design. The triangular design does not quite touch the postmark, but the two words just beneath it, Natural Color, do run into the postmark, uniting the two designs.

(Question: “Are they male or female, for instance?” “Impression of light-colored hair on two, and a similarity. These I believe males. Perhaps a family resemblance, but a definite similarity in any case.” This was of little help to us, and since we didn’t ask Seth to explain after break we cannot decipher the data. We are not related to Leonard, of course. The other male on the address line of the object, John, crossed out by Leonard, is a close friend of Leonard’s but not a relative. None of us—Jane, Leonard, John or myself—are blond or light-haired.

(Leonard does have a brother, Ken, who also lives here in Elmira, but as far as we know Ken was not involved in the Maine trip, which inspired the envelope object. Leonard’s girl, who went to Maine with him, is also dark-haired. Leonard and Ken look much alike; there is little resemblance between Leonard and John, and I do not look like either one of them.

(Reduced tracing of the outside of the greeting card which also figures in the 67th envelope data. It was mailed to Jane and me on August 11,1966 by my mother, but was not used as envelope object.)
