“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. There seem to be four men playing chess, symbolically speaking. One man appears to have the advantage, but another will take it from him, and your best interests will lie with this second man. The first one now has the ascendancy. Three men work together for their own ends.

S A R. The three exert considerable pressure, or pull. The short man is out. But the way things are changing, I believe you will stay in this area of the country, though not necessarily at your particular location, and perhaps in a different capacity, though in a freewheeling basis.

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:] “The promotion of this man in California is not indicative of a general change of values?”)

(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.

Now. Four men were involved in the promotion of the man to whom you spoke. One of these will be out for all practical purposes. The others will begin to change the philosophy within the enterprise, so that the climate is more to your liking.

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.

The man in California remembers you as you remember him, and he will speak of you. There will be two other men also of a like philosophy, and the four of you will exert considerable force within the company in the future, and will shape its policy eventually.

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.

I spoke of two other men who will be in league with you and the man from California. Now when I say a league I do not necessarily mean in conspiracy. Simply that from four corners your philosophies will meet, and each will see advantage for themselves in the promotions of the others.

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.

On other issues you do not agree. You have spoken with him. He and the man from California will have some say-so, and you will then add your voice to theirs. The fourth man will come later. This Stan is no fool, but he is being outwitted.
