“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

(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.

(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.”)

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.

(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.
