“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt has done very well in understanding these body changes, and has been aided by your support there. I am pleased to see that he moves about in the chair more and more. That intent to move further activates the body, and sends impulses through it, for it knows it is meant to move about on two feet. Those impulses quicken the physical changes, so that the two go together; as in the kitchen he now feels like standing, or wants to walk from the sink to the table.

(10:28.) In Ruburt’s case such considerations make him feel set against the world, where actually that social world has rather agreeably enough allowed you room and a certain platform on its stage, through your readership. You have a considerable number of people, considerable, in all walks of life who wish you well. There is no need for Ruburt to anticipate scorn. There is no need either, however, for him to imagine that he has any responsibility to go out into that mixed social arena to do tours or appear on television.

He anticipates scorn if he did so. He would indeed meet a large range of reactions. Scorn would be the least of them. He would meet honor, belief, respect, disbelief, anger, love—and some scorn. Such a career addition would be bound to change, of course, the foundations of your lives. I do not believe you are willing to meet people on that basis.

(Recently Jane was told that a complete set of class tapes, with transcripts was being offered by someone on the West Coast for around $255.00 for 55 of them—$5.00 or thereabouts a tape. During a call to Tam this morning, he advised Jane to “put a stop” to the affair before it went too far—to at least write the people involved a letter. Jane has asked Sheri Perl for the names and addresses to do this, and plans to write a letter. We think the quality of the tapes must be very poor. There’s also copyright infringement, since some of the class sessions have been published. Jane is against the whole thing on esthetic and invasion-of-privacy grounds, not monetary ones so much, and I guess my feelings about it all are too ambiguous. At the same time, it all sounds familiar, as if we heard about someone doing the same thing last year, say.
