“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Then give us a moment... To some extent, in certain terms, you have upset both of your brothers, and your younger brother’s comments concerning money were directly related to two events in your life.

(While taking a drive to the drugstore on Sunday, my brother Dick told me he felt he “didn’t have much” as far as money was concerned. He was quite incensed over published reports that 10% of the population in this country controls something like 58% of the wealth, etc. He talked about owning more land, farms, etc., and that what he has, with his wife, represents a compromise as far as acreage, the house, commuting distance, etc., is concerned. To Jane and me, he is very well off indeed.)

First of all, because you are the eldest, and because of your father’s position, because you were making good money as a young man, Loren braced himself against your situation at that time. You were the one starting out making money. Both of them wanted to beat you at the game, simply because you were the eldest, but as they began you gave it up.

To a lesser extent the same applies to Ruburt and the sister-in-laws. A woman choosing to have no children is not a woman they can understand, yet each wonders what other abilities of their own they might have nourished, or what they would have been. For Ruburt to make money, to become known, puts this same kind of burden upon them, you see, of understanding.
