“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He does look for miracles. He does listen hopefully to each voice, but he is no fool. He is going places. Ruburt is deeply loyal to him, and he is to Ruburt. Aerofranz is not (underlined) particularly businesslike in his approach. He has not had (underlined) to fight for a book in strong terms, but his energy and belief helped it greatly at Prentice, and was transmitted to the salesmen.

(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.)

There are intuitive and very playful connections between Ruburt and Aerofranz that are highly creative. Ruburt will end up with another publisher, but he will also be with Aerofranz for some time. The two together, you see.

Now Seagull may be involved, but you will also handle your own end of the financial stick—that is, you will also be able to contribute financially.

Aerofranz knew the practicalities of publishing, in his reality. There was energy on both sides, but Seven was, and is, literally Ruburt’s inner self flying quite as the Seagull flies—for fun, freely, without having to answer questions, and without having to be brought down to specifics.

I told you once that Frederick Fell was an excellent publisher for Ruburt’s book. You never directly questioned me about that, but Ruburt was not prepared for that book to sell in any great manner, and it was to his advantage that it appear, to give him a book, but also that it lie quietly for a while.

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.

The alliance with Seagull, and any ensuing household excitement was highly creative and important. You will see more of him, but there will be good quiet periods of work between.

(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....
