“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane expected Seth to continue with his Prentice-Hall material tonight, when I asked if she had any questions. These quotes are from her paper of last Friday, 6/12:

(“Realize that since ‘79 at least I’ve felt to some degree that I had to protect my work even against Rob, whose ill feeling at Prentice might.... make that situation worse. Make Rob ill, or contaminate his feelings towards Mass Events and Seth’s latest book: [See last PM Seth session, which Rob is typing as I write this.]”

(I’m doing my best to stay out of interfering with Jane’s dealings with Tam and Prentice-Hall. Tam has requested that we send him a letter outlining our position re a competent professional translator of the French Seth Speaks. I was going to do the letter this weekend, but didn’t. I asked Jane if she would write the letter, and she agreed to. I felt better about that.

(Before the session I mentioned the question I kept in mind for Seth, concerning what the Sinful Self may have learned since this last series of sessions was started. I said it was essential that we communicate to that personification [named by Seth for convenience’s sake only] that its performance was quite destructive to Jane, and that it must release its hold. I wanted to know the Sinful Self’s attitudes toward the fact that it had rendered Jane literally helpless as far as her survival was concerned; she couldn’t take care of herself physically without the aid of others, I said, so this obviously implied that the Sinful Self was creating its own demise also. I wanted to know what it “thought” about such a contradictory situation, whether it understood the implications, and so forth. No matter how it must reason or react, it had to be concerned about its own survival—but in what ways, and based upon what knowledge and/or reasons? All of these points could be subsumed under the one broad question that I wanted Seth to go into when he’d finished with the Prentice-Hall material.)

(Long pause.) Ruburt’s material about Prentice-Hall was quite correct. He is not a businesswoman in the terms that a person is who is primarily devoted to business. He does, however, possess excellent instincts in certain directions that automatically bring money to you and insures the publication of his books and so forth. These operate quite naturally in your lives.

He felt that he was at certain times caught between you and Prentice: more worried about dealing with your attitudes toward Prentice than he was about dealing with the situation itself, with Prentice. As he tried to comprehend it, he also felt that certain attitudes of yours toward the marketplace would spill over and threaten the unimpeded clear channel that he felt has been formed to convey his writing to the public realm.

All of this existed, of course, in a situation in which the aspects of Tam’s position and the Prentice situation were themselves changing and uncertain.
