“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

Seagull also needs friendly assurance, and some help as he learns to go deeper personally into the nature of reality and his own reality, and we can help him there.

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.

(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.”)

(10:05.) I will have a few words to say to him on my own, that will set things straight.

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.

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.

(In late October, F. Fell refused a collect call from Jane. She wanted to ask him when the paperback would be out, etc.

Ruburt has been refreshed often by your support of him. He will never forget the flowers, and this has added to the sense of inner serenity that he is in the process (underlined) of achieving. You can trust him in business matters. I tell you this.

Continue your physical support and encouragement. Get him to go to public places, for here he is weakest, so that he builds up his conflict. He danced even at your friends’, when the stimulus was presented. There he needs your gentle (underlined) encouragement (underlined).

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.
