“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A man in the background of your acquaintance, not connected with the company now, or if he is, he is far from your thoughts. As it would seem to be a professional man not at your firm. He appears to be offering you something for his own reasons, and for his own benefit rather than your own.

(The following is a resume of John Bradley’s comments regarding the impressions given above. There was an initial encounter with a man in the company, in the immediate past—two weeks ago. The man, according to John, was also strongly connected to John’s feelings about the company [or attitudes toward it] for he felt that the new man, a regional director, has some of the same attitudes he has.

(The tall bony man mentioned could refer possibly to Dan Searle whose father is past president of the company, Dan is tall, bony and has sandy hair. Dan is now president.

(The shorter dark-haired man mentioned reminds John strongly of the new regional manager mentioned above; particularly since the man’s face looks round from the front, but not in profile. John noticed this.

([John:] “The man in loose clothes—can you tell me is this the son, president of the company or his father, the chairman of the board. This in relation to the illness being treated?”)

We will try to separate the father from the son here. The man to which I refer is not terribly advanced in age, but he is at least 50. I do not believe he is over 80. At times he has a nervous twitch. He drinks coffee without milk and wears black shoes. This would seem to be the father. But if so, he has more drive than the son. The characteristics given however do apply to the man who is ill, whether it is the father or son.

You will keep one later. One will be made by you, and one by a man higher in the company. This one will be kept later, not at the original specified time. One will be deliberately not attended, though circumstances will make this absence understandable. There will be a reason, in other words, and an acceptable one. Now you may take a break, and we shall continue.

(Note: John’s experience at Rochester meeting recently—he saw his district supervisor’s face turn younger before his eyes as the man spoke at the meeting—about fifteen years’ difference, John said. John wasn’t alarmed because of the Seth material. The effects lasted at least a minute and probably longer. John didn’t know if anyone else saw it as he mentioned what he saw to no one, including the man involved.
