“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your own advantage will come when the weak man falls off, for another will match you in strength, and together you will change the balance. The man you have been thinking of this evening will not betray you. He may forget you. Your position within the company will be assured, and has been, as long as you continue your bulldog tactics. You aggravate them, and yet you make them think. They dislike you for the aggravation, but they admire you because you make them think, and they now are beginning to believe that your thoughts can save them money and time.

(John said he couldn’t give comments on tonight’s data, that it depended upon whether he was in the triangle. At first he saw no connections. I am not trying to give an account of the long and complicated discussion that now took place between the three of us, as John discussed his company, Searle, and its internal politics.

You will end up in a position of dominance in the company if you persist, but this is not today or tomorrow, and the company will have changed. Its methods will have changed.

Now this is sometime in the future and you will jockey from fourth to third position in the higher echelons of the company. I see you again at the right leg of the triangle, and again the man at the left leg will fall.

There is no doubt then if you continue as you have, (underlined) that you will end up in the main power structure. In the meantime again, the methods of the company will be changed, and there will be further innovations even so far as intent.

It is an empire that you have decided to take hold upon, and there is no need pretending that anything else is involved. You will taste your own power through what you make of that company, and then you will use the power for other means.

You are not putting your full powers into this however, and may as well do so for you will regret it if you do not. This is the field in which you have decided to test your own capabilities and strength, so do so. The company is plastic. If I thought you might do otherwise then I would not give you this particular advice, but you have made your decision so you may as well throw all of your energy into it. You are an old feudal lord, and the company is your territory. (Humorous.)

There will be sidelines however as far as products are concerned, and you had better keep yourself well-informed. It would help you if you kept very well-informed concerning transplants, for there are advantages and possibilities open here in terms of drugs still to be discovered, within which your company may later become involved.

You must throw your energy somewhere and use your strength somewhere. You must be committed. It makes little difference whether you become committed to your politics or your company. For your own benefit the commitment must come. Your energy must flow outward.

The company is there, irresolute and plastic, to be changed, and in its change it can affect many others, and beneficially. Use it then as your canvas. The energy within you must go somewhere. You must use it. It has been scrambled up within you for too long.

The company could become a plaything, and you could become tempted to think of moving people as on a chessboard, and you must avoid this.

Now. Directed correctly, this company can become far more than it has been. It can highly benefit mankind through new developments, if these developments in the future are not quenched, and if the administration is forward looking, if it looks for new products and new services that it can fill. Drugs will play no small role within the next fifty years, but those who will progress will be daring. Daring both in the choice of men, those who will represent the company to the public, and in the choice of men who will develop products, and this is an area with which you should become more familiar, for it is this upon which the company depends.

It is the choosing of the right men not only in the organization as salesmen and in public relations, but also in using judgment and intuition as to those men in another field entirely who will come up with new products, new drug inventions, new ideas, and it is here that the company suffers severely, depending on the tried and true.

You should personally study more concerning the medical end. If possible you should keep track of all medical discoveries, for your knowledge will serve you in good stead. Your company will not survive, period, unless it enlarges its concepts and takes chances upon young medical inventors.

There are three discoveries that should take place now, within a three-year period, and if your company does not latch ahold of them, others will.

You should be close to this sort of thing. You should pay more attention to the basis on which the company ultimately rests, or the company will be outstripped. Your judgment of people will stand you in good stead here, but you must join all your forces and tell yourself that you have made up your mind, for this is your one chance now, as you have lived your life, to shape a strong area of reality.

You cannot use your daring in pirate ships any longer. (Humorous.) But use it you must or it could destroy the foundations of your vitality. Do not spend your energy in idle hobby pursuits. They do not fool you. But make sure that when you try to breathe vitality into your company, and form it, that you form it for the good. You have an opportunity—use it.

Now you may take a break as you prefer, and let our good King Philip rest. Your energies as a man are poured into this company however, and even as ahuman being, alone, you seek to form it. Then do so in your own way. In the overall your wife will be of more benefit to you than you suppose.
