“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I asked if Seth would discuss Tam’s dream of January 1, 1973; her cold symptoms dating from last October; and the letter Seth has promised to dictate for correspondents. We played badminton today also. Both of us had many interruptions, and resolved to do something about this. We planned to get up much earlier tomorrow, for one thing.)

Tam has great trust in me, in Ruburt’s work, and basically in himself. He has always gone along with Ruburt. Their connections are good in waking life, but their relationship goes far deeper. Some of their waking reactions are incongruous. They are sometimes delighted with each other, and yet sometimes feel, in meeting, a conscious sense of disappointment while experiencing an inner sense of recognition and joyful enthusiasm.

As far as Tam’s dream was concerned, I have a few things to say.

(Tam wrote Jane on January 2, 1973, asking for some material on his dream of the night before. In distorted form he picked up that Jane and I had decided on January 2 that Adventures in Consciousness would not be written or contracted; that in daytime working hours Jane was to go full steam ahead on her own writing, etc. Jane called him on the morning of the second of January. [Copy sent to Tam on January 12, 1973, of this portion.])

There is a connection between Aerofranz and Ruburt, as well as a connection between Tam and Nebene. Tam knew the purposes of Adventures from the beginning—as did Ruburt, but neither of them could act on that knowledge consciously, for it did not serve as yet their conscious purposes.

The dream was not simply Tam’s dramatization of a message sent by Ruburt, yet dramatization was involved. Ruburt acted out his ideas of a conventional medium for Tam, who in a dream state perceived Ruburt’s dramatization.

Tam received the basic message, though in the morning. He made several distortions, substituting you (RFB) and the book I suggested (Through My Eyes) rather than Ruburt and Adventures. He did this to give himself time on a conscious level to deal with the situation. Some time ago, after Seven, he mentioned my book, my new book, to Ruburt, and Ruburt said he did not want to contract trance material ahead of time, so Tam let it rest.

Both of them knew on other levels that Ruburt needed a backlog of chapters, and the book well in progress, so Tam simply went along, as Ruburt did, until the time came when Ruburt realized he had full confidence, the book was good, and that Adventures had other purposes.

(9:51. Still in trance, Seth/Jane said while pouring some wine: “I am giving you Tam’s material together—it will be easier to type.” Resume at 9:55.)

Now Seven will have its own following. It will become a mass product, however, and Tam will be involved as he has already been involved with Seven.

End to Tam.
