“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Timothy Foote arrived by plane from New York City at about noon, and left at 4:30 PM, driving to Saratoga and Skidmore College to see his daughter. Timothy Foote, Jane and I got along very well; seemingly we all liked each other. Timothy Foote was very interested in Jane’s abilities, and said he would like to return for a session with a recorder. He is to write to us.

(Some time later Jane told me she picked up that when Seth spoke Timothy was suspicious—“Seth would speak now, you see, in order to make an impression,” etc.

(Timothy Foote told Jane he would review Seth Speaks for the magazine. We didn’t ask him to do this. He told us his review for Richard Bach wouldn’t “be hostile;” he didn’t particularly like the book. Jane, liking Timothy Foote, told me later that had he stayed for the evening she would have had a session for him; yet we feel there were reasons he didn’t stay, and that things worked out for the best all around.

An individual who completely accepted what was going on here, and Seagull without question, could (underlined) also possess a fervor that would, or could, overstate the case, rouse instead within people conflicting beliefs. So Timothy’s approach is an excellent one. (Note: November 7: Timothy’s article bears this out very well.)

Your positions are in the process of changing drastically, as mentioned. (See the deleted session for October 2, 1972.) My material and books, and Ruburt’s, and your paintings, will affect the world as you know it. Through Ruburt there was never an in-between. His characteristics were such that his energy would carry him beyond in all areas, if they carried him at all.

(To me:) Your attitudes had something to do with it, but there is also an inner harmony, in that events happen when they are ready. Your leaving Artistic was also an element. Otherwise your attention would have been too divided. The message is now clear enough and securely enough established, so that it can ring out freely.

Eleanor’s and Richard’s acceptance of Ruburt, and of all his abilities, was important also. I told you that your own work would show greater development, and so it will. And in its own way it will also deliver the same message, and there will be a gallery connection for you.
