“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today we received from the Museum of Modern Art an acknowledgment that William Rubin had received the Cézanne book I’d mailed him on October 17. In a note dated Oct 25 his assistant implied that Mr. Rubin would get in touch later, after the affairs connected with the Cézanne show there had subsided. He hasn’t looked through the book yet, however. I mentioned to Jane that it would be fun if Seth could give us a little bit on Rubin’s reaction when he saw the book on Cézanne—not on its contents.)

In other ways he did not use his eyes to follow sideward motions, and often tensed the entire head area when he executed any movement he felt was difficult. As the knee and neck areas began—as they are—spontaneous motions, unused activities of the eyes also began to show. They have not been synchronized. Part of this is because all the small ligaments in both the head and knee areas are released, or are being released. They are constantly exercising themselves, but are not themselves working smoothly.

(Very intensely:) the inspiration for a book can come in a moment, though for months nothing may appear. So Ruburt’s condition may show no physical improvements of the kind you are looking for—may not—while suddenly the work that has been done unconsciously during that period can suddenly emerge, seemingly from nowhere, as a spectacular improvement. If you do not have faith in the meantime, however, you hamper that kind of development.

Any other ways that Ruburt can increase his daily enjoyment will also help. The cooking efforts, the dishes, have benefits that do not show beside those you are familiar with. If you do follow my suggestions concerning Framework 2, given this evening, your own experiences will lead to other creative ideas involving Ruburt’s condition, sales, and creative activity.

The fact that you even sent books to artists and art institutions shows that you have changed your attitudes in Framework 1, thereby opening resources in Framework 2 that did not exist, practically speaking, earlier. Many artists have strong psychic leanings, whether or not they admit them. The Cézanne book will have more effect on the people that you sent it to than they realize, or may be apparent at this time, because you are uniting two strong forces—the artistic and creative ones. You should get some excellent responses, though some people will not want their names used.
