“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.

His bubbling enthusiasm was partially responsible for his contracting The Seth Material. He was looking for answers, and young: he looked in any direction. He was not particularly discriminating. He was also not rigid in his ideas, however, and sensed the importance of the material, and as a young editor impressed his boss by his own enthusiasm. He learned as the book progressed, and he did stand up for the book to the best of his ability at the time.

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.

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.

I am trying to mention situations that you have to deal with practically, so that your way will be easier and you will not lose time over such issues.

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.

(During the 618th session, which Dick and Eleanor witnessed, and during which I manifested the Nebene characteristics by quizzing Jane about reincarnational data for Dick and Eleanor, Jane also “saw” Nebene by my chair—as she had on the previous occasion some months ago when Sue Watkins was present. This time, Jane said, Nebene had changed; his face was less pinched and narrow and demanding, more open, etc.)

(Last Saturday Jane and I visited Cec and Jim Lord, at their trailer home in Westover Hills, Pine Valley. We saw their newborn daughter, Jacqueline Ann, about whose birth Jane had given Cec some accurate predictions. It was there that Jane and I danced; the first time, Jane said, since Marathon, Florida, last February.

(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.
