“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(More developments took place today, before I began typing this session. Tam called Jane to inform her that Eleanor called John Nelson [which Jane already knew] —but that Eleanor and her screenwriter friend had the money to do a movie for Seven. So we’ll see what develops in this continuing saga. Clare Townsend of 20th Century-Fox called Tam today and asked about seeing the manuscript of Jane’s second Oversoul Seven book, which Jane has just begun typing. Townsend is involved with Alan Neuman, of course, who also wants to do a movie of the first Seven book, etc. A chart made of all the events to date would show an interlocking pattern of lines, I believe, like a spider’s web. Hardly a “coincidence” that it all begins to develop at relatively the same time.)

Ruburt is not an extremist—nor, on the whole, is he given to extremes. He has at times taken some comparatively extreme measures, and they were taken to some degree because he felt he could be an extremist.

You are both apt to say that Ruburt goes to extremes, and several times I used the word myself, and Ruburt never forgot it—but I did not use it with the same implications that it carries for him. A sense of purpose steadily applied, the continuity of feeling and work, the steady application over a period of years, these are not the marks of an extremist.

This is particularly important since the body itself is now working with improvements involving the relationships of motion between its various parts, and the quickening of nerve impulses connected with motion. I am aware that much of that does not show as yet. Ruburt’s balance, however, while standing, has definitely improved. The body has gone through several complete processes of late, and as these occur each time the discomfort has been less, and of less duration.

The feelings of trust are definitely taking hold. There will be no problem with the walking, and in a short time these complete processes will be at a point where he will consistently want to do more walking on a day-by-day basis. Thus far, his impulses have been correct, and forcing the walking at certain times would not be advantageous.

The soreness that he does experience sometimes at night is of less intensity than before, and it happens when the body is in the middle of one of those overall processes, so that a large number of muscles and joints are being exercised at one time.

Mixed into this were feelings about your age, and that you were spending too much time on the project. Instead, you discover the car does not crash—and not only that, but your father is much more vigorous at the end of the dream than he was in the beginning. You still had not quite recovered from your fear, however. Your father was used as the main character, of course, because he is referred to in your notes, because you planned photographs of him in the beginning, and because in the dream he represented the disapproving portions of your own personality.

The dream was meant to do two things: point out the fears that were still present, and to show you that though present, they were groundless. The car, which was the vehicle of expression, would not crash. It was not going backward. The backward motion referred to time, and how much time you felt existed between the book’s dictation and the delivery of Volume 2.
