“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s Tuesday paper on her feelings is evidently a very important one, representing some excellent insights on her part about her repressed impulses, her fears about my reactions to various events, her private nature and public appearances, and related topics. I’d say that to some extent at least its content flows from the proposed interview with a reporter from The Village Voice, a contact made with the business manager at WELM in town, and so forth—hardly accidental, we think, that these events connected with publicity, her work, etc., come into our awareness at this time. They seem to be like small test cases, meaning that our reactions to them, how we handle them, will show rather clearly where we’re at these days, as they say.

(“If you listen to your impulses and keep them clear—each one [in your sequence] will clear your path further. You both did wonder about the Silence Gallery affair, and decided not to mention it [to Jim Poett]. The call [which was action, a creative synthesis of your joint feelings], gave you information you didn’t have before—that The Voice [as an entity] knew of the Silence Gallery in a confused way. This means you can mention it and insist that they not be mentioned. It also means that you have additional knowledge to use in making your decision [about the interview].”

Be that as it may, Ruburt began to withdraw from the world, and in important ways denied himself the experience of dealing with others in those respects. He is gifted in dealing with people. He has the capabilities that allow him to hold his own very well, blocked only by fears and hesitations. He does have a very strong private nature, along with an ability to communicate to others—and as my material stated this morning, a greater understanding of his impulses would lead to a natural balance. He might not want to see anyone for months, in which case his impulses would be to refuse any interviews or whatever. Then the impulses might change overnight, leading to a more sociable time.

(“Well, it’s certainly no accident that the interview thing with The Village Voice came along at this time.”)
