“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All Dick Bach needed that night after Robert Browning was another fancy tale. He needs that challenge, as I told you, so it was not Ruburt blocking.

(No rebuke was intended upon my part, to Jane, when I asked her, during a break in the 618th session, if she was going to give Dick more specific reincarnational data. I thought he wanted it at the time. The Robert Browning reference concerns a letter Dick received from someone [a medium?] who told him that he’d been Robert Browning in a previous life.

(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.)

(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.)

(During the 618th session, which Dick and Eleanor witnessed, and during which I manifested the Nebene characteristics by quizzing Jane about reincarnational data for Dick and Eleanor, Jane also “saw” Nebene by my chair—as she had on the previous occasion some months ago when Sue Watkins was present. This time, Jane said, Nebene had changed; his face was less pinched and narrow and demanding, more open, etc.)

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.

Because of Dick, you will become involved with some people considered important, but it will be up to you to remind Dick of his roots. You will have no trouble remembering your own, so keep it simple.

(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.
