“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Coupled with all of these things is the three-part article we’re reading in The New Yorker on the travails of publishing these days; the large sums involved, books being treated as “products,” etc. According to that information, we’re so far out of it in any meaningful way that we’re left feeling quite inadequate. On the other hand, we haven’t forgotten Seth’s recent material about our being protected—and I for one really think that’s true. It does take an effort to keep it in mind at times, though. It’s also made it quite difficult for me to whip up any enthusiasm about getting back to work on the notes for Seth’s Dreams. I’d just gotten nicely into that project when the disclaimer business started over Mass Events—it seems like months ago; actually, this may be the third month following the interruption, an incredible gap in creativity, for which I blame Prentice, no doubt about it.

(Long pause.) It is as if bits and pieces of any and all probable events exist in a jigsaw-like fashion throughout the minds of men, throughout the consciousnesses of plants and all natural things, wanting to be put together—and each individual consciousness has its part to play in directing which of those events occur or do not occur—but the processes involved in the formation of those events are hidden from the conscious mind.
