“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now—I want to have a quiet chat with both of you, even though I do most of the talking.

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.

Ruburt’s own ideas have also changed. Aerofranz did indeed pick them up at times. In his enthusiastic feeling for the book, the best he could do with his lack of training was to think of it in terms of the best in the occult market.

(A note: I read this session to Jane after it was over, which I seldom do. When I was through she surprised me by saying, “Good. Now I can get rid of my symptoms because I’m getting out of the occult field. Now I don’t have to go on any of those shows as a psychic,” 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.)

(At this writing, October 3, Tam has expressed his desire to contract Jane now for Adventures In Consciousness. Jane has the manuscript half done, perhaps. Tam’s statement was quite unexpected by us. Jane had no plans to show him the manuscript. Yet in the course of their discussion this afternoon about business affairs, the script came into focus. After supper Jane said to me, in effect: “I don’t know how we do it. It goes on at some level between us, beneath consciousness—this thing of deciding what we’re going to do next.”)

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?

Seagull is a different kind of a book. Console can freely speak about it in public, because it carries within itself its own lovely camouflage. A series of shows now however would mitigate against what we are trying to do. Do you see the difference?

(10:12.) When you do shows on occasion, later, your position will be assured. Seagull (humorously) will be our angel Gabriel.

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.

Now there is a connection between Oversoul 7, and the young, sometimes bungling young soul—Ruburt’s creative sparkling, spontaneous self and Aerofranz. Do you feel the connection?

There is the same connection with Seagull. I am telling you that all of you were connected and are. Aerofranz knew, quite well, that Ruburt simply had to do some fiction. He also knew that the center of Ruburt’s being was involved with our message. Ruburt knew this also.

The paperback will do very well, however.

Your paintings, in a few years, now, will be in some demand, and you will find yourself quite spontaneously doing multidimensional portraits.
