“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Notes: Today Jane called Tam about the continuing hassles over the disclaimer for Mass Events, and learned several important things—among them that the legal department is now “drafting” a letter to us, explaining their position in the matter. Discussed also were the memos the legal department has been sending to the board of directors at Prentice-Hall. Many of these have been derogatory; we now plan to ask Tam for the names of the individual board members, and we want to learn how to write to them to be sure they personally receive our messages. We would like to eventually tell our side of the story, and resent being treated like children in the interim. According to Tam, we’re not supposed to know anything about much of what he’s been telling us of the fuss over the disclaimer.

(I suppose we don’t know what our response to the legal department missive will be. My best guess at the moment is that the disclaimer matters not at all, but the idea of it doesn’t bode well for the future, I’m afraid, and there may be the real rub. Jane has God of Jane and her book of poetry well in the works now, and both involve Mass Events, or material in it. We want those books published. A cutoff point is reached after these three books have been taken care of; then we would be free to try something else if we choose to.

(Pause.) The body is composed of organs, physical parts, living matter—but the body is also composed of processes, relationships that exist on all levels between various portions of the body and between the body and its environment.

These include emotional processes, of course, mental ones, emotional ones, and constant transformation of energy from one form into another. Your stomach cannot read. What you read, however, is in one way or another translated into other terms, so that for example your stomach reacts in its way to your reading matter, as the visual information is translated into other terms.

Add to this the fact that he is learning to trust his body (pause), but is still at times besieged by doubts, and his difficulty is explained. I must remind you both to emphasize, again, the flexibilities that are occurring, and that are for that matter sometimes apparent almost immediately after such episodes—for your trust builds as you allow yourselves to concentrate upon what is new evidence.
