“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.)

Now, what would that extreme behavior consist of “at its worst?” He felt that if he were a person given to extremes, then to use his abilities he must apply due discipline so that his head was not turned, so that he did not become a victim of fame, as many other writers and artists did—or so it seemed. It certainly should be obvious to Ruburt now that his personality contains some quite conservative aspects—a marriage going into two decades and more does not exactly make one worry about promiscuity. So many old fears were based upon misconceptions on the part of the personality that in younger years found itself to be quite different than its contemporaries, and gradually began to set up defenses against them.

He interpreted it thusly. It was a statement of fear, and fear’s resolution. Your father was the symbol of yourself. You were afraid that you were doing everything backward—specifically with “Unknown” Reality, and that the affair would be a disaster—or the car would crash.
