“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It was for this reason also that I spoke to you the other evening. He was doing very well in having to deal with such distractions when you commented about the reincarnational material. He took this as a rebuke. You wanted the session to go more clearly in that direction, and he wondered if he had been blocking.

(Seth later said my question to Jane was Nebene speaking. I try to control this, and have succeeded often.)

With strangers the sessions often are personal, however, because their own needs and emotional reactions are initially so vibrant. Later, other material that does not necessarily concern them can very easily follow.

Ruburt did exceedingly well, considering: his reaction (smiling) to a new “big” (in quotes) editor. Now give me a moment, for some of this material I want you to have now.

(Possibly here Seth refers to the results flowing from Dick’s mentioning The Seth Material on his TV and radio shows in the course of talking about his own book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, etc.)

His bubbling enthusiasm was partially responsible for his contracting The Seth Material. He was looking for answers, and young: he looked in any direction. He was not particularly discriminating. He was also not rigid in his ideas, however, and sensed the importance of the material, and as a young editor impressed his boss by his own enthusiasm. He learned as the book progressed, and he did stand up for the book to the best of his ability at the time.

(I for one had never thought of Jane’s symptoms as having such a cause, but...I am still puzzled by the worsening of her symptoms when we got back home after being on tour to publicize The Seth Material, in September of 1970. Now we can see that she is getting into the regular trade-book market. Eleanor Friede and Dick Bach both stressed this. Tam Mossman is here as I write this. He too has agreed to do all advertising for Jane’s books in the regular trade-book field, rather than the occult.)

Aerofranz will also have a much better position. There is a strong benefit here , in that he has been in on the material, relatively (underlined), from the beginning. He has a feel for it. The sales alone will generate much better contracts.

For now do not do shows. The books are selling well, and will be selling better. Your position as not being publicity seekers works strongly to your advantage now, as far as Seth Speaks and The Seth Material is concerned. This will not necessarily be the case with Oversoul Seven. Do you see the difference?

There will be enough money so that the material can also be distributed in edited version from the earliest sessions. This is what you are supposed to do with money that you do not need. I am telling you ahead of time.

There will be rather large changes for both of you, beginning shortly, and in two years your entire physical situation will be altered for the better You must remember however that the material is for all of the people, not for a few.

There were many alternate probabilities. Seagull is the one that materialized in this reality. Dick’s very open attitude has already helped Ruburt immensely—another writer, you see; the blending of the writer and psychic, highly important to Ruburt. Dick however did not know where to go after Seagull, until he came onto our material, and it (underlined) will help him.

One of Aerofranz’s purposes was to see that the material saw the light of day.

(“Thank you very much, Seth. It’s been a pleasure.”

(10:59. Jane didn’t remember much of the material, so I read it to her. Both of us were surprised by the predictions, hesitant at taking them literally, I suppose; especially the parts about excellent sales, the beginning of a phenomenon, etc. Not that we’re averse to these things, but to have them stated so baldly....

(Add Data—October 11—call to Jane from Timothy Foote, of Time Magazine —re cover story on Dick Bach. Timothy Foote to fly here Friday, October 13, etc., to call back re plane schedules. Telling me about it—we also reread this session—Jane said it would be more than a casual mention of The Seth Material in the article, and that now she could “feel a tremendous amount of energy gathering around” the fact of Dick Bach, us, Seth, etc.
