“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Perhaps we should be flattered that the last we heard of the bidding saw Bantam making an offer to Prentice of $50,000 for the present Seven, plus the next two.... Jane spoke to John Nelson this evening before the session; he called her from his place, after failing to reach her this afternoon. As far as we know, the set-to is cleared up now, Jane is free, etc. Grace gave John sales figures for Seth Speaks which are much too low, so we really have little idea of how the book is selling, judging by those. Actually, Grace told Jane last week, and John this week, that the book is “a smashing success,” whatever that means, and is in its sixth printing. We aren’t due to collect royalty money this month from Bantam, however, which means the original $35,000 isn’t eaten up yet by sales. Some $12,000 to go.

Ruburt’s methods of dealing with such a situation were highly apparent, in his physical symptoms. Yours were not as easy to perceive. They did not show. In an unsafe universe you run your personal life along certain lines. This applies generally more or less, and specifically to you also. In that context you do not trust good fortune—indeed, it seems practical not to trust it. You hide good fortune for fear it will be taken away. It does not seem to belong in an unsafe universe. You do not tell people that you are doing well—you tell them that you must work from morning to night; that you do not have enough time. You have to prove that you are as hassled as they are.

At John’s level, and in his unsafe universe, the events still prove how valuable the books are, since, to whatever extent, they are fought over. At Ruburt’s level and your own, the events show you that the universe, as it applies to your publishing world is safe—with leeway for action—and also opens up creative relationships with people at Prentice that were latent before. Now, these become “practical,” where before they were not considered so. This means that a great deal of energy is released.

(Pause.) Give us a moment.... Ruburt’s condition is literally improving at an amazing rate, as his entire body is being regenerated. The improvements must flow together, however, so that one completely healed area may not show that improvement until, for example, another area catches up. It will be healed but not functionally apparent.

The symptoms are really minimal. To some extent however they represent the weight of your own beliefs that Ruburt added to his own symptoms. He refuses to bear that weight any longer. There is no doubt that he worries about them. Yet he is determined to be free. Your work with the pendulum, again, is important, for it assures him that you believe enough in a safe universe to encourage his freedom, and your own.

(10:57.) Give us a moment.... This period is also necessary for Ruburt’s creative processes. The physical release will bring him into a closer contact with his psyche, in which he will find it safe to progress even further in his studies and development.

What he terms “heroic impulses” were impeded because of his beliefs, and the whole concept will become much clearer to him in the very near future. He will become quicker in his motion at all levels. Certain necessary developments are taking place that will appear in Politics, and they are developments that will now be within his reach.

The nervous system is being regenerated and strengthened. Certain psychic connections will be made easier, and entire “new” aspects of his work will appear. The body’s rate of progress is such that it allows him an intimate awareness of the healing process, and brings about a companionship with the body that he needed.

Each frequency, so to speak, operates as a messenger, triggering body response before an actual response is apparent.... In any body difficulty, the light and sound frequencies become out of tune, so to speak. The overall “true tone” is muddied. When Ruburt began Politics he experienced his “true tone” mentally and psychically; though he did not realize it, this gave him something to go by, so that now, having decided to be free, he is physically and unconsciously bringing about the physical equivalent of that true tone.
