“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley was a witness to the session, and had some questions about his job with Searle, and events within the company. However John gave Jane no details before the session, merely stating that he would like to know what was happening.)

If you hold out your position will be strengthened. The man closest to you in the establishment will no longer restrain you. He is not in a position to, and his own position has changed. He is one of the pawns.

([John:] “In his place?”)

On his behalf.

Give us a moment here. (Pause.) He is no longer in a position to hinder you. On the other hand his ability to help you has also dwindled.

Different people will hold the grab bag. Give us a moment. (Pause.) Your immediate superior is losing a chance. Yet he offered you a chance at the grab bag for his own reasons. He would give you as a gift. He would give you to others as a gift in order to gain advantages for himself, and in order to gain your loyalty and obligation.

You may tell Ruburt, Joseph, that I will have some comments concerning his book later this evening or at our next session.

(John corroborated much of what Seth had given, and added that he felt that only his own lack of specific knowledge prevented him from corroborating much more of the data. Jane was pleased, saying she tried to relax and not block or distort any of the data.

(John gave us much interesting background information about his company. He identified the short man who would be out as Jim Brady. John could not identify the S A R reference. John has already refused, he said, to commit himself re a promotion to Rochester. He said it was likely he would remain in this area of the country, that is, the northeast. Freewheeling basis would pertain to John’s interpretation, he said, of the changed mode of operation by which the pharmaceutical industry attempts to sell its products and its image.

(The chess references by Seth were interesting. Neither Jane nor I play chess or know the moves. It developed that John had recently given one of his young sons a chess set; the boy knew the game to some extent and wanted to teach John. More on this later.

There were others who did not want the man promoted, and these men do not want you promoted. This Stan is against your promotion, except in one particular area where it might serve to his own particular advantage. Otherwise he is against it.

(During break John identified Stan as his regional manager.)

One of these men is younger by some years. The stakes are high, for you have indeed always wanted to shape the policy, and that is why you should not move yet. Let the man from California speak his peace.

Besides this there will be a natural meeting of minds. Of the other two men, one is not in the picture as yet. This does not matter. But the third man must arrive in the picture. His advancement must come before your move can be made with any assurance of success. He is another within the company whose ideas match your own to some degree.

(Jane’s voice was again becoming loud and powerful.) Ruburt has his wires crossed. He opened the channels wide in order to receive the information for our friend, And indeed he does not know how to close them. This is why the voice comes through with such raucous glee.

I should not answer that question. However, no, it was not. (Pause; smile.) I feel indeed like a merry old gentleman, sitting here with his cronies. Ruburt’s trance state has improved indeed, but having opened the door, oftentimes he does not know how to close it. If you do not want me to go booming through him for hours then I suggest that you call his name three times. I however am perfectly content, and he is fine.
