“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Eleanor (Friede) represented a different kind of framework, in which business was business, while art was respected, and where after all matters of great money might be involved. Ruburt was rather proud of handling his own business affairs. Eleanor also represented on another level the establishment, the rich, literary, “in” crowd, and the great youthful specialized ideas of literary success.

Immediately the plans for the last trip here were made. In the meantime Ruburt heard of the Bantam deal, and Eleanor was saying “Hold off,” without giving the reasons. Ruburt was frightened. Supposing he got Prentice to hold off and Eleanor’s deal fell through? Physically he had never really forced a body image through athletics, for example. Feelings of any powerlessness, then, found easiest expression physically. He had felt relatively in control, business-wise, used to dealing directly, and this is one of the reason why he and Tam work together intuitively and business-wise so well.

Ruburt felt that you did not trust his relationship with Tam as far as the spontaneous handling of business was concerned, and that perhaps the dissatisfaction you expressed about Prentice had to do with a certain emotional sloppiness, where both he and Tam did not have the proper regard for detail, and lacked a kind of integrity that you valued.

The Seagull, while free, was not all that free. It is no coincidence that Tam is younger than Ruburt, for this to some extent helped water down the idea of Prentice as an authority figure. Eleanor, older and a woman, giving definite instructions, did represent an authority figure, both in literary terms and business-wise.

(I couldn’t help noticing as I walked down the hall on my way out, how busy all the patient rooms were, the cacophony of sounds, the numerous visitors, patients and nurses and aides. I might as well be downtown on a busy street, I thought. [...]

[...] She hadn’t slept well last night, and staff had been too busy to help her turn often enough. [...]

[...] However I would appreciate it if you would this evening act as a stenographer on my behalf, in a business matter.

[...] I will leave it to you to provide the business address.

(Pause.) Ruburt can give you whatever business statements you require concerning the sale of his books. [...]

[...] Business letters are not my line. [...]

[...] You are too busy with exterior things. [...]

[...] You cannot afford to play overlong—to hide yourself in trivia—to become so busy that you cannot hear the truth that shouts within you. [...]

([Tom:] “Other questions might take the format of what opportunities might arise in business; the Bega development; etc...”

You can be too conservative, not following up sufficiently your intuitive understanding of the business. [...]

We will return briefly, ourselves now, to the business world. [...]

As a man brings a body to a doctor, then let the businessman bring his business to you for a checkup—find out how healthy it is, and how you can further its productivity.

[...] Rob sticks his head in doorway, says money is “there”; he’s busy, difficult for me to turn to see where “There” is; he has to say “on cabinet.” Kid tries door; it’s locked; I don’t think I can unlock it and get out of his way quickly enough without asking him to wait for me to move, feel humiliated again, know Rob is busy with the book and why can’t I handle it? [...]

[...] I don’t mean to be paranoid about this observation, merely that business is done that way and that the author, once he or she has produced the property to be played with, is relegated to a place much lower on the totem pole of importance.

You have made rather sharp definitive divisions between the artistic world and the business world. [...]

[...] In the same fashion, however, you see, say, book jackets, ideal situations, in a way that the people in the business world simply do not—and you do become literally outraged when their vision proves to be so inadequate. [...]

I am in no way putting the business world down. [...]

—that in the future I help our friend arrange his business matters. [...]

[...] I thought F. Fell would be too busy to continue with a session much longer, but called for a break in case Seth had a few parting words.

[...] F. Fell asked for clarification concerning Seth’s remark about helping “our friend arrange his business matters.” [...]

[...] I mentioned that, obviously, I’d like Seth to comment on the insurance business. [...]

The end-all results of the insurance business will be to your satisfaction. [...]

(I stressed once again that I didn’t want the insurance business to interfere with her recovery, which is why I’d voiced such strong approval of her turning herself this morning. [...]

[...] I said I was willing to forget about the health business for a while — a long while, if necessary. [...] Perhaps any improvements she can achieve can come about better if we simply leave the whole business alone and quit focusing on it. [...]

[...] Such individuals may try “to get ahead” on the one hand, in society or business or in the arts or sciences, only to find themselves taking two steps backward for every step they take forward. [...]

[...] The person might succeed financially, only to make a serious or faulty business judgment, thus losing the financial benefits. [...]

[...] I’m pruning away as much as I can, including a lot of business mail and projects we could get involved in. I no longer answer certain business or fan mail.

The man, business, bottles or coverings, containers.

A collection of paraphernalia in one place connected with business or hobby perhaps, in basement, strong connection with guns.

[...] (No.) The man, business, bottles or coverings, containers. [...]

(After her lunch I read to Jane the same two sessions I’d read her yesterday — for February 1 and 5. I told her that my question for Seth is, why did the fever business start after her initiation of Day 1 of her new program? [...]

(I also reminded Jane that we hadn’t gotten an answer from Seth to my question about why all the fever business started right after Jane had put her Day 1, 2, 3 program into effect. [...]

[...] She is getting into the sale of Sarah Coventry costume jewelry, and in fact is attending a business meeting tonight. [...]

It does not seem to refer to business matters as far as the company is concerned. [...]

[...] It involves other people, not business associates.

([John:] “Can you tell me something about the future of the business endeavor for my wife?”)

(About the letter business: Yesterday Jane had called Tam, and learned to our complete surprise that last August Pocket Books had published a paperback edition of the second Seven book: The Further Education, etc. [...]

[...] As it is, I don’t understand how I’m to get any work done, help Jane, handle business affairs, change even my driver’s license, and move all at the same time. [...]

[...] This room is part of a cottage that is joined to another cottage in the crowded Provincetown area, and both units are, actually, directly in back of a business establishment that faces on Provincetown’s main street, Commercial St. To reach them it’s necessary to use an alley around the business establishment. [...]

(This morning while I was at work, John Bradley stopped by briefly while on a hurried business trip to give Jane some information relating to a prediction of a narcotics scandal that Seth had predicted for Elmira in the 63rd session, of June 17. [...]

(This evening after supper, while busy with other material, Jane received the thought that it was time to begin work on Book One of The Seth Material, a project we had discussed sometime before vacation. [...]

[...] Afternoons, instead of working at the gallery, I would suggest that he busy himself with my book. [...]

[...] He briefly outlined a business venture he was launching himself in the fall, if possible, and asked if we could meet him in the lobby of our hotel, the Paramount, at 3 PM. [...]

(Ray Van Over is leaving the Parapsychology Foundation sometime soon to launch his own business, which involves publishing. [...]

[...] His voice says he’s busy.... [...]
