“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

More than that, however, as far as you are both personally concerned, you have a built-in sense of distance that gives the house actually an extra dimension of privacy that is not within the grounds themselves, yet adds to that aura. The house is set itself atop its own knoll, which to Ruburt at least gives a fortress feeling, in that he can look down and see who is coming.

Give us a moment.... You both seem informal, yet your informality exists within its own rather formal structure. The places so far have had a certain formality. Within that formality, then, in contrast, you are informal. Development homes also represent, to you both, now, undisciplined, unthinking, sloppy behavior. You disapprove of it.

There are points to be considered also in the Levine affair, for our bemused Dr. Levine would cut out all of nature, you think, if he had the chance, and as Ruburt said, sterilize the neighborhood. His response there was excellent for him, as you said. You both do need privacy for your work and because of your natures, but if you try to find a home with no dogs or children within miles, then in another way you are doing what Sam Levine is trying to do, only in your own way. To you, far more acceptable, of course, than his way.

(10:14.) Give us a moment.... There are also kinds of creative changes that you do not foresee, that you can make in both areas of the yard, at Foster. The one is dark, the other open, comparatively speaking.

The hill house does not. It represents a kind of challenge you have not thus far accepted. A kind of living in the present that has frightened you both. As given however it still possesses qualities that do go in with your natures. Foster Street represents an elegant secretive past, and you would both try to hide within it. Ruburt hates to give it up for that reason, but to a lesser degree so do you.

The Ambrose affair represents your ideas about money and the upper classes. The conflict between Easton and Ambrose is primarily of a social nature. Donna and Easton both feel in an inferior position in that regard. They have their backs up. The mores are entirely different. To some extent the conflicting ideas represent some of your own—hence your being in the middle.

For your purposes the house is worth the price. In the market, in Frank’s terms, the house is worth perhaps $38,500, or $39,000. That price will also go up. Though the rooms are smaller there is in a strange way greater manipulability, psychically speaking. A definite change in living patterns will result, and of attitude, that would not happen in the Foster house. This also means that greater adaptability is required, but it will be to the good. The whole difference here is the quality of nature as it surrounds both houses. The one invites you to roam, the other to hide. Both houses have Sumari characteristics, but in different combinations. You both need the sun.
