“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For the record: Tam Mossman visited us last Wednesday, October 29. When he left he took with him a contract signed by Jane for Oversoul Seven, plus two more Sevens, should she ever write them. Bantam and Pocket Books were interested in acquiring the first Seven. Today Tam notified Jane that Pocket Books had won the bidding—acquiring the rights to the three Sevens for $75,000.)

We are doing certain kinds of work that can be done by no others, as others are doing work we cannot do—but rest assured that you are adding your voices to those of history, making your contributions. So is the man who wrote the book (Powers of Mind)—Adam Smith—interpreting in the only way he could for others who will later be led to read other books—that is, he helps awaken hunger.

Ruburt is dealing with events of the psyche as the inner therapeutic measures continue. When he announces to you a new bodily feeling of release, to him personally it is as if he discovered a new planet.

When man objectified energy he became frightened of it. You think of nuclear destruction as energy uncontrolled, rampant. That exteriorized concept is a symbol for man’s fear of his own inner energy. The nuclear reality is instead a practical example of what can happen when the elements of the intellect do not understand their secure basis in nature, but see themselves as apart from it —alienated. Then the misunderstood intellect and the misunderstanding intellect rails out against nature in envy, trying to destroy a unity in which it feels it has no part.

It seems to Ruburt that he has not been working on his book, but of course he has—Politics and other books as well.

The soreness in his legs sometimes at night should be easily understood, for work can be done then when he is not on his feet. There are numberless small tendons being released, joints and nerves being reactivated. His arms have been sore at night but he did not worry, and the results are easily showing. As he said many times, he does not walk on his arms. He is balancing on his legs and feet, however. Key parts have been released in the knees, feet and ankles, but again these improvements trigger other improvements, while they remain operationally invisible for a while so that balance is maintained.

To whatever extent, each of you in your way grew up in the belief system of your times. Ruburt is doing a complete turnabout. After years of relating to his body in one way, he is changing that relationship. You have been taught to follow certain rules. These said that you ate at certain times, slept at certain times, followed certain patterns because these were important. You were not taught to stress individual inclinations or leanings or characteristics, but to view any deviations as alarming. It seems highly impractical in that system of belief to tell an individual that he or she knows the best patterns of behavior to follow, to suggest that each person knows how much sleep he or she needs, or that left alone you will pick a correct diet—a diet geared to you. Instead it seems that there must be an overall diet suited for human beings in general, or a sleep pattern best for the race at large.

You can quicken your own psychic experiences if you stop thinking of impediments, physical or otherwise, that seem to distract you, for example, during a nap. Ruburt should get up when he feels like it, and whether or not he feels like working.
