“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The scientist’s (Truzzi’s) letter had some good results, in crystallizing your attitudes in Ruburt’s poetry, and in passages for his book. It also made him think, however, that he was not changing the world in any way that mattered in any important degree—that those in authority did not even read them, and that even my latest work (Mass Reality) would make no inroads. He did not want book dictation on the one hand, for that reason. On the other hand, of course, he did. We will of course finish our book in our usual style.

(Pause.) Our books are read also more often that it seems, for they are borrowed from others, and from libraries, by people who would not buy them in a store—not for financial reasons necessarily. The letter in any case made him think in terms of responsibility again, but this session should set him right.

(9.55 PM. “I’m glad I did have the session, then.” Jane said. “At least I got that straightened out, about the book sessions....” When I asked her what she meant, Jane said she’d been blue lately, wondering what good the work on Seth’s books could do in the world.)
