“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Again Seth surprised me. I hadn’t expected him to use our bank accounts as analogies, but saw at once what he was up to. He referred to my changing my own account last Monday and Jane’s today, to the purchase of six-month treasury certificates.

(9:42 PM. At first thought I didn’t know what to make of the session, which I suppose merely reflects my own indecisive state of mind about the hassle with foreign publishers, Prentice-Hall, money, art, writing, and so forth. All the details about the foreign rights fiasco are on file, so there’s no need to recount them here, except to say that Tam, serving as liaison for us with Ariston and Ankh-Hermes, has failed, as far as we know at this writing, to elicit any response from anyone at either place. Just what I expected, I told Jane, and added that it looked like we would end up stuck with mangled work distributed in Europe.

(As far as changing our mental accounts re Prentice, I don’t know whether I can bring myself to do that or not, especially after the foreign mess. Tam visits next week, so we may learn more, but at the moment I don’t expect any miraculous results. Seth’s analogy with the bank accounts and Frameworks l and 2 is an excellent one, of course, and in theory at least I agree with it completely.
