“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The resentment felt by the tenants was picked up by her, and felt as a threat. If everyone moved out she would have to force the issue with her advisers. Her advisers have told her to raise rents, since they handle her estate and money. She means well enough but in her insecurity she believes them when they tell her that she would be a fool for not raising rents. Money does mean security to her. She has no other and this does play into their hands.

She was very sensitive therefore to telepathic suggestions sent her way by tenants, and felt that they did not like her, highly resented her as the new landlord. When Leonard returned, all unknowingly he sent out constructive thoughts to which she also reacted; but he loved his lawn and his yard, and in his mind’s eye he saw it the way he wanted it, clearly, and it did become an event.

The landlady chose, unconsciously, houses in which the deeper needs of her tenants would in one way or another correspond with her own. This does not exonerate injustices. Nevertheless the lacks that exist, for example in your landlady, will bring about further lacks, and resentment on your part only hurts you. Does this answer a few of your questions?

(After the second foot of snow fell last weekend, the tenants of the house waited as usual for the landlord to appear with his plow. [...] Finally one of the tenants threatened to move, after feelings had been bruised all around. [...]

(The session was held this evening with the chance that it might be interrupted. One of the tenants in the house had finally located a man with a plow, who was due to clear the area at 9 PM this evening. [...]

[...] Our landlord is a complex and generous man who has lowered our rent and the rent of some of the other tenants over the last few years.

[...] You would like to kick the downstairs tenants out, and you would like to kick your poor landlord, because you think that Ruburt would like that apartment, and you cannot afford it; and he would not, you believe, come down on his rent.

You have private rooms now in a public area that becomes more public all the time, as tenants, strangers, move in and out. For a while the whole house had feelings of privacy when the same tenants, for example Lucy, were here for some time. With a change in tenants the halls for example become anonymous, all of these feelings strongly operate, and on both of your parts. [...]

[...] changing tenants alters those feelings, however. [...]

(When Jane and I visited F. Fell’ s office in New York City last July, we stood in the foyer of 386 Park Avenue South and scanned the list of tenants. This list of tenants must include the name Liveright; if we saw it, we have no conscious memory of it.

(Following a discussion of everyone’s experience Jane explained a new tenant had moved in and as it was late she would relate what Seth would say.)

(This reference concerns new tenants who have moved into the second-floor apartment of the house next door. [...]

[...] As tenants you would have been extremely dissatisfied with her.

At one time she was in a subordinate position to you, Joseph, and without knowing why she would have been very domineering if you were a tenant. [...]

[...] They weren’t closed off from each other as apartments usually are, so that the numerous tenants could have free interchange with each other if they chose to. [...]

[...] The tenants at 458 at one time formed a kind of family, and to some extent that relationship continues, as far as the two of you are concerned, with Ann and Leonard. You remember past tenants together as people recall distant or dead family members. [...]

The heat problem of which Ruburt learned, was the result of expectations on the part of the previous tenants, and need not (underline need) have concerned you. [...]

[...] It was simply whether the heating system, which I had accepted without alarm as being okay, would have performed better for us than the previous tenant. [...]

[...] Finally Floyd opened the damper a bit and lit a sheet of newspaper in the fireplace: The smoke immediately sent our very upset tenant scrambling up the chimney, across the roof and into the hemlock tree growing at one corner of the front porch. [...]

[...] This time I was roused by the tenants downstairs, who came home at about 2:30 AM, with company, and sat in the backyard talking. [...]

What might happen to the body, I wondered, even if its psychic tenant were willing to endure any or all of those “surgical procedures”? [...]

[...] Now the tenant in the apartment above our living room began to play rock music very loudly, but Jane seemed undisturbed as she talked to me. [...]

[...] Often I felt sorry for the other tenants in the big old apartment house we live in on West Water Street, in Elmira, New York. [...]

[...] Joseph helped physically as the other tenants returned to their apartments. [...]

[...] She may not buy, believing that a parking area will be set up to drive off the sort of tenants she wants; and then after this proscribed time of contract the parking area itself may well fall through, as I told you. [...]

(During break we heard an elderly downstairs tenant, Margaret, call her cat, Susy. [...]

[...] Moreover, this event had taken place in the apartment house we lived in on Water Street; not in our own quarters there, however, but in the apartment of another tenant whom we’ve known for a number of years.

[...] Seth greeted us, gave a few voice effects which were controlled because of the hour and the proximity of other tenants, and expressed his willingness and capability to continue until six in the morning. [...]
