“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It is January 4 as I begin to type this session from notes. As of now we have so far mailed the letter to Eleanor re Rich Bed; phoned the ad about a house in to the Elmira paper; obtained the paint for Jane’s workroom; put up new curtains in her room; begun inquiries about the duplication of the letter for readers who write to Jane; packaged the first six chapters of Seth’s book to mail to Tam at Prentice-Hall tomorrow; begun to check the galleys for Oversoul Seven—all of these being items on the list we made out a couple of days ago. Another checklist will be included at the end of this session.

The conscious mind however is (underlined) evolving, in your terms. It is not the finished product. You may include this information in my book, but it is not book dictation. Creativity as it is generally known represents but a small portion of far more extensive capacities. Creativity as you understand it is the three-dimensional aspect then of greater abilities that belong to our consciousness innately, whether it is consciously materialized or not (period).

In all of this you also acquiesced. It was known that only by presenting the material in writing, and eventually in books, that his personality would accept it. He would also be driven to critically analyze the phenomena (hyphen)—and in books, because he is a writer—before he felt free enough to simply create (period).

(It also seemed that both of us had made the decision to confine the psychic work to sessions only, which I thought would at this time automatically shut down a lot of possible developments. I also felt there was a strong possibility the sessions themselves would go by the board unless Jane showed much improvement before too much more time passed. We believe we are committed to delivering Seth’s new book, but after that....

He is not to feel at the demand of letters, people, calls or otherwise. He is to feel free of those demands. They are not a part of his work. My book is geared specifically to people. When he realizes he need not be at their demand he can be freely grateful for his mail, and not resentful.

(“The whole thing’s unexpected by me,” she said. I wondered why it should be, and also thought that this was a way the sessions would try to protect themselves. But then, there was Seth’s book to be finished.... 11:20.)

My books are meant to give you some financial framework in which to operate in practical terms, besides their other purposes. There are roadways open that Ruburt has been afraid to follow for the reasons given this evening, to which he is now acquiescing.
