“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you publish a paperback of ours, this is like publishing a new book for the first time. I am speaking of our books only—not, for example, of novels or other “occult” tracts.

I have nothing against bestsellers, and as I predicted the books will succeed financially beyond anything you would have thought—but over a period of time, in a dependable fashion, and in a way that will also best be suited to the temper of the times. That is, the books will have a strong active part to play over the period of your lifetimes, rather than for example selling in the millions in a year or two, then vanishing from the scene.

The immediate money resulting with the contracts served as financial reinforcement at a time when you and Ruburt needed it. This was more important than you seem to remember. (Although I do keep this in mind. So does Jane, I think.) Ruburt was worried about money in the bank then—not six months or a year hence with royalties. Prentice wanted to set up a paperback mass connection, for to them this means that a book is good and has value financially. They also wanted quick cash. It was a poor year financially speaking for them. They also needed financial reinforcement. You and Ruburt also wanted the books to be in the general market.

On the other hand their ideas are so challenged that it takes them a while. They read one book several times. “Unknown” Reality will do far better than even Personal Reality did.

When you are concerned it is because each time the body behaves differently. Ruburt is in the final process needed, and necessary, to straighten the legs and bring about a completely different, more normal bodily stance.

His characteristic posture worked for what it was, and it was locked together in all of its parts. It is becoming unlocked. In that process, and only at times, there are periods when it seems his body, or certain portions of it, are less dependable.

It is understandable that he feels strange at times, for he has given up an old, dependable but limited framework. The only way now is ahead, and accepting those natural body changes that are a part of that healing process. These are the final stages necessary so that a new stance is achieved, and again, soon you will not need to go on faith as you do now, because enough adjustment will have taken place all over so that the results will show an easier motion, and in definite, beneficial alterations of stance and walking ability.

The shape of his face is changing. The tenseness of his jaws held everything else in certain positions. At times the shoulders as well as the legs have been sore—most bothersome to Ruburt. When this occurs the relationship is being beneficially altered between the two areas given.
