(This afternoon Jane received a royalty check from Prentice-Hall for $819.00, covering sales to June 30 of The Seth Material, hard and soft cover, and the first copies of Seth Speaks. Both of us were amazed.
(We mixed drinks to celebrate. As we sat talking in Jane’s studio she eventually said that Seth was around. The notebook was handy, so I told her to go ahead if she wanted to let Seth come through. Our mood was exuberant.)
[... 22 paragraphs ...]
(At once I found this to be a genuinely-hilarious statement. It fit Jane as I know her to a proverbial T.)
[... 8 paragraphs ...]
(4:09. Jane and I began a discussion about symptoms, then Seth returned.)
[... 5 paragraphs ...]
(4:16. During break I mentioned two questions to Jane, without insisting upon getting answers this afternoon. One had to do with the meaning, or information available, concerning the portrait I had recently finished. I had just framed it, and it sat on the bookcase behind me now. Jane could see it from her chair.
(The second question had to do with Seth’s ideas about our appearing on the David Susskind show, TV, in New York City, should we be asked. The publicity department at Prentice-Hall told Jane last week that this program was thinking of asking us to be on the show, and that possibly we’d be contacted this week.
(A note: Publicity at Prentice-Hall also told Jane that Newsweek Magazine might do a story or review re Seth, and that this might take place within two or three weeks, etc. Jane evidently wouldn’t have anything to do with this venture.

(The first day after Jane got the call, we thought of all the reasons we didn’t want to do the show—including the material on the show and Susskind in Daniel Logan’s book, The Reluctant Prophet. The next morning, I arose with the thought that all our stewing was after all academic—Jane’s symptoms would prevent us from being on the show to begin with —we couldn’t see her physically negotiating airports, taxis, hotels, studios, New York City, etc.)
[... 10 paragraphs ...]
(4:27. This proved to be the end of the session. I would like to add here that we did realize that it wasn’t utterly impossible, physically, for Jane to negotiate an appearance on the TV show. But the difficulties involved made it unlikely that we would bother to try this.)
