“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The more interested and excited they are of course, the more their own needs and answers ring out. It is difficult for Ruburt to block out these additional psychic distractions.

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.

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.

The Seagull is above all your friend. He will continue to be a celebrity. He will also have some storms to weather. He is deeply loyal, even more to ideas than to people, particularly when his need for freedom is respected. He will be of great help to Ruburt, and in advancing our work.

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.

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.

Ruburt’s own ideas in the past were not clear enough to offset this. No matter what Ruburt said, he thought of himself as working in a highly specialized, misunderstood small field.

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.

The Seagull goes ahead for us, and in a way that you and Ruburt are not equipped to go. You are both too solitary for that particular kind of endeavor. Seagull whets the appetite. Its readers will find more where its author found more, so the Seagull flies truly.

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.

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.

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.

The joyful parable. Aerofranz was involved in that, in that he recognized Seven instantly for what it was, and responded instantly to Seven’s enthusiasm. You, Ruburt, Aerofranz and Richard are then all connected.

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.

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.
