“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you remember, it took a while for The Seth Material, with Prentice, to do well. It was distributed to bookstores and areas specifically involved with the conventional occult field. Even though such people are familiar with the general area of our work, still the book did not fit into a general mold. It took a while, then—though not too long— before the book began to sell well. The other books quickly followed with, to that degree, a now built-in sales advantage.

The general public, however, has been obviously largely ignorant of the books. Publishing them in paperback presents a different picture. Again, they do not fit into the overall occult picture as even the general public understands it. There is no position, no God from the mountain top, and no dumb or docile medium to be taken advantage of by the spirits or otherwise. The work is not simplistic.

It is not that those challenges would not be met, but in meeting them you would end up with a different kind of work and experience.

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.

The constant interplay and healing process has its own rhythm, so that certain portions of a leg can rest, for example. I do not want to overstate the work being involved, for it is natural work. What Ruburt experiences however as soreness is the vital sensation of renewed impulse and activity and use.
