“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Not only is our own work rather unique, but you have no academic credentials. You have avoided, for example, holding seminars of that nature. In that framework many psychologists, for example, would feel comfortable, but you offer no such bridge to anyone. You avoid “the wild psychic world” of cults, semicults, and so forth, and above all you are individualists who do not play according to game rules.

Psychics are supposed to stick together, at least informally, before the world (humorously). They expect from each other a kind of blanket approval that neither of you give. Our books are being read by many “important people” in medicine, science, religion, and the arts. They are indeed forming events. You are to that extent affecting your society. You do not, however, through your attitudes play the kind of game that is necessary.

(10:00.) For one thing, you do not respect position, and your attitudes are clear, through your notes and Ruburt’s introductions. You do not play up whatever “important” contacts you have made. Ruburt could easily have given impressions concerning, say, Richard Burton, to Goodheart (Bill), who would have been initially impressed, and would have spread the word. Ruburt disdains such maneuvers.

The society is supporting you. It is accepting your work, and in your terms—those terms that exist because of your beliefs and your attitudes. The books are being read, though you do not go on tours. You do not play any of the games, and you do not have a healthy give-and-take with that society. You are ahead of the times, and behind them—yet through the point of power you affect those times. You change them.

There are publishing games also, and you do not play these. If you play those games and do poorly, you at least have a right to shout “foul” now and then—and I will tell you something: Prentice looks out for your interests in the person of John (Nelson) far more than you give him credit for. He likes you.

Put into practice the last session, particularly with Ruburt playing with his ideas, instead of concentrating upon his work. (Louder:) Amen.
