“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The expansion resulted from a contraction of energy, but because of the unique attributes inherent in both value fulfillment and in the spacious present, there simply was not an initial or first contraction or expansion.

(I’m also trying to whip up some enthusiasm to begin work on Seth’s latest book, Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, for which we recently signed the contract, and took money. [The contract was countersigned on March 22.] “Don’t worry,” I said to Jane in the hospital, “I know who’s going to do the rest of the work on the book....” [...]

[...] But in the old contract you had psychically made in this life, either of you would have done anything he felt, to paint and write and make the world accept what you did and pay for it.

So he was keeping the terms of the old contract. [...]

[...] The contract from the dream book will work a great beneficial change. [...]

(In my original and unpublished notes in Session 520 in Seth Speaks I listed three chances for the fruition of Seth’s prediction: The mention in Cosmopolitan of Jane’s ESP book for April 1970; Tam’s news about New American Library being very interested in the Seth material book; or Jane’s contract for the dream book being in the mail from Prentice-Hall.)

(Odd notes: Today Jane received the contract for Emir from Delacorte, but is not about to sign it yet. [...] She learned much about both the contract and the interview.

[...] It means only that our friends in Hollywood and in the subsidiary rights department at Prentice-Hall have agreed upon the terms of the option; a contract has yet to be signed by all of us. [...]

As for Ruburt, he became overconcerned about work because of the contracts (for Mass Events and God of Jane, which we have yet to sign with Prentice-Hall), and the foreign hassles. [...]

Our editor, Tam Mossman, has verified for us that the contract between Prentice-Hall and Ankh-Hermes contains a clause prohibiting cutting, unless Jane’s and my permission is given. [...]

[...] Jane still has on hand the contracts for Mass Events and God of Jane waiting for these to be straightened out: amended with Tam’s promised “superamendment” that’s supposed to protect us in the rights departments, paperback covers, and all the rest; jacket copy, etc. Prentice-Hall even wanted to have Jane sign contracts giving them the right to take money from Mass Events to pay for God of Jane. [...]

[...] Part of your personal problem now is because you feel you have cut off the easy flow of creative energy into your painting and into Mass Reality, and even to some extent—on your part, now—because the contracts are unsigned, and the flow in that area momentarily is somewhat impeded. [...]

(For the record: Seth referred to Tam’s letter in which he informed Jane that Prentice-Hall had granted her a continuation of the old contract terms and royalty rates. [...] Tam also sent Jane a copy of the new Prentice-Hall contract form, but informed her that she can continue to use the old one she’s accustomed to, if she wants to.)

[...] The muscles are already contracted in your body. They are contracted because you have not admitted, in this point admittedly of future spiritual progression, that you wanted to wring his neck, so you say nothing but wish him well. [...]

[...] In the meantime, the muscles have contracted ten times because they could not be put into activity before, as the thought behind them was denied. [...]

I have watched with some amusement the proceedings of the last few days, as Ruburt involved himself with his contract, hemmed and hawed, worried it and clucked.

[...] Today Jane signed her contract for the book, and will mail it to F. Fell tomorrow.)

[...] You will be able to get a contract on it, with advance, and writing it will also serve as a spurt for your painting. [...]

And I am pleased with our contract —

[...] Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, has notified her by telephone that within a few days she will receive a contract for the publication of this book.)

[...] There will be no huge contraction of action back into itself, in those terms. [...]

[...] They cannot be contracted, for action cannot wipe out comprehension of itself. [...]

Ruburt himself recognized the book’s deficiencies, and he and Tam together hit upon the idea of switching my book, Seth Speaks, which was not yet contracted for, instead of Dreams. [...]

(Long pause.) The problem with the contracts and the entire translation affair bothered you both deeply. [...]

[...] Light and dark, rather highly contracted.

[...] Light and dark, rather highly contracted.” [...]

[...] The muscles were already contracted in your body because you did not admit your true feelings.

In the meantime, his muscles have contracted ten times because they could not be put into activity, as the thought behind them was denied. [...]

[...] All four of us involved in the moving were quite amused, then — for the friends who helped Jane and me carry the furniture yesterday are the father-and-son contracting team that built the room in the first place.

[...] Jane thinks she may sign the contracts for it later this year — before Christmas, that is. [...]

([Joel:] “Sometimes I think I would renegotiate the contract.”)

(To Joel) And psychological contracts always change and personalities do. [...]

(Jane’s signing a “contract” to work next winter was a point that completely escaped both of us when her symptoms became aggravated. [...]

(“Is it okay to let the nursery school job for next fall, and the contract, ride for now?”)

[...] You want to feel free to give of your own nature, not when it is demanded by contract. [...]

The marriage contract itself has had therefore a strong fate, for what you did spontaneously is now demanded and once it is demanded, you rebel. [...]
