“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the area of 6th Avenue and 61st Street, Carter (spelled). You had better include N A N. (Pause.) Now I do not know if this is Nan Carter, but I do know the two are connected. And with a group show of some note in 1935, in which I believe this person participated, who now owns, or runs, or is connected with this gallery in this neighborhood.

The man has been himself an artist, therefore. He may be the uncle of the man who runs the gallery, per se, but he has a strong voice in the gallery. At one time connected with the school of ashcan art. Do you follow me?

Three doors down, an establishment having to do with shoes, or a shoeshine establishment with a black grating.

Sevens strongly in the numbers of the address, and zero. At first you will not think this is a place for you. They will not seem to show your kind of work, but this is precisely why they will want to do so. They do not have anyone in their stable who can do good work with figures, or of an objective nature.

Now listen: do not take it for granted that those who do not show your type of art are against it, or will not want it. In New York now, and across the country, it is difficult to find objective work that is not highly stylized or sentimentalized.

Many galleries therefore do not carry objective work because the defects are so clearly seen. They take instead planned distortions, which can cover up such inadequacies, or frankly abstract works.

They will be particularly interested in your people, far more than in landscapes, and in certain of your fruits. You will be doing I believe more work with fruit, of a different nature. I believe that this will involve a magnification of the work you have done with fruit. An apple for example as it might be seen by a fly. A peach as it might be seen, or a pear, by a squirrel.

I do not mean that you will have this in mind particularly, but that you will be looking at fruit in a new way, and from different viewpoints. When you do this, this gallery will be interested.

There is something elevated here. Now I do not know. This could refer to lofts. It is more fashionable than the other gallery, or more “in.” It deals in larger works than you are now producing, as a rule.

There is also a connection with postcards. Underneath the establishment there is a connected concern—perhaps framing, I do not know. A basement enterprise.

You should try also for a foundation grant. Save now all of your people (portraits), and do not sell them locally.

You can do this, and well, and it will allow you to work with people who are independent of this place and time. I mentioned this once earlier. Give us a moment. (Pause. Then humorously:) Your painting of me can become famous, in time. Do not sell it.

Basically, it makes no great difference what you do.

There will be no complications resulting from such a meeting of an adverse nature, if you feared this. Some good contacts would be made. They will be made in any case. Ruburt should not plan to do trance work. (As suggested by Reverend C., on stage.) His main energies remain with the material. He is an excellent teacher however, and a good speaker.

He will ultimately be of help to you in ways you do not now foresee. He is bungling and frightened but he waves brave banners. (Pause.) Ruburt is one of his discoveries. He has not fulfilled his potentials, and he knows it, and so he tries to be self-important. But he means well. His wife is his support. He has not always been treated kindly by the psychics that he knows. In many ways he was shoved aside because he did not have the courage of his convictions earlier. (Long pause at 10:25.)

There is some unresolved relationship between the four of you however. You cannot so easily dismiss him. I do not believe he will be active beyond two years or so, unless he changes and pierces his own overly jaunty exterior.

He needs inner initiation, new stirrings of his own (underlined) creativity. He also needs kindness. If you give him a hand he will be grateful and do his best to repay you. He is no longer precise.

Now do you have any further questions?

(“Can you do anything about the mix-up on the name—

The name is Foss. Do you have me loud and clear?

I was not trying to be foxy. The name is Foss. I do not know the spelling.

Do you have other questions?
