(Jane hadn’t operated well yesterday.¹ She did tell me that she was somewhat surprised to realize Seth might be closer to completing his work on Dreams than she’d thought he was. My own idea has been that Seth is far from finishing the book.

[...] In Note 1 for that session I described a most vivid dream experience—one in which, Seth told me in the session itself, I had viewed the many-faceted light of my own being and of the universe. [...]

Jane’s delivery for Seth was hardly fast this evening, but still she paced the session quite a bit more rapidly than she had the one for last Tuesday night. [...]

(“Yes,” I told Seth. [...]

(Jane had reread my list of questions for Seth, based on this last group of sessions, and referred to often. After supper we’d talked about questions 2 and 13, the same ones we’d asked that Seth discuss in another recent private session; he hadn’t done so yet, though. [...]

(We discussed Seth’s reference on page 85 to Jane fearing that others might actually look upon her as dangerous because of her abilities. At first I’d thought this a new insight on Seth’s part, but we decided that it wasn’t, that he’d covered this ground in other material from a variety of viewpoints. [...]

[...] It was 9:00 by the time I got settled—and she still didn’t “feel him around”—meaning Seth, of course. [...]

(“Thank you, Seth. [...]

[...] I told her I remembered Seth saying once that her symptoms “were amazingly stubborn.” [...]

[...] I asked her to have a session on Seth’s remark about her symptoms being “amazingly stubborn.” [...]

(When Jane spoke for Seth her voice was rather quiet, since it was still sort of raspy from yesterday’s laryngitis, or whatever she’d had. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] At the same time she’d acted very uncomfortable, often sitting ramrod straight as she spoke for Seth; however, she didn’t remember any of that behavior now. She’d known Seth was ready to come through strongly, though, and he had.)

[...] I didn’t ask that she or Seth comment on the notes, but at least I’d made it possible for either one to do so. [...]

[...] And as soon as Seth opened the session, I understood at once how he was going to link that tale with Jane’s own hassles. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] By last night, however, Jane had picked up some encouraging messages from Seth, which she relayed partially to me. [...] One of Seth’s points was that we’d “taken a crash course” in medical beliefs, or words to that effect, I believe. [...]

[...] (Seth calls Jane Ruburt, and me Joseph.)

[...] I broke off to ask Jane about Seth’s reference to her skin being healthy. [...]

[...] I’ve noticed lately that in trance her eyes have looked especially dark and luminous as she spoke for Seth.

[...] She said she had a very “hazy” impression, as Seth talked, of a group of figures at a table. She saw nothing plainly, and so feels she is taking Seth’s word for the above material.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] She was as surprised as I was that Seth had announced a poor connection. [...]

(“Good night, Seth.”

[...] After a minute, at 10:47, I said good night to each personality, figuring that Seth had been present even if unheard. [...] Her expression changed, she smiled, and I knew Seth would speak. [...]

[...] When Seth came through regularly she always knew beforehand of his emotional presence, she said, and so had no doubts or questions about beginning a session.

[...] (Pause; smile.) Seth’s material on action will help you here.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] She felt Seth would discuss this after break. She sat down during part of her delivery at Seth’s bidding, so that I wouldn’t miss any of the material. Also, her broadly smiling face felt different than usual to her; Jane said she really felt Seth’s emotions during this delivery, and added that Seth thought he was being smart.

[...] Seth-Jane was also quite amused. Seth has often referred to my life in Denmark in the 1600’s as being one of the flesh, and has said that his own was not much better. [...]

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Now Jane, as Seth, began a most entertaining performance. [...]

(After the last session, I told Jane that I was most intrigued by Seth’s assigning two headings to Chapter Ten, but the dilemma was hardly very complicated.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Jane’s trance had been really deep, her pace as fast as it’s been since Seth began this book. [...]

(When she had her experience involving the puddle — as well as another one, described immediately below — I asked her to write an account of both events in case Seth referred to them sometime. [...]

(Gert was asking about conversing with Seth, truth, etc.)

([Florence:] “I’m sorry, Seth. [...]

(Florence wanted to know when Seth speaks to other personalities in his realm does he do so mentally.)

([Gert:] “Who grades you, Seth?”)

(Seth’s pace had been increasing, and my notes began to fall behind. [...] While doing this of course I lost some material from Seth, but Tam and I agreed that Seth recapitulated any lost data during the rest of the session.

[...] Tam, the editor at Prentice-Hall who is in charge of the book Jane is writing on the Seth material, has been reading the book in manuscript today.

[...] Seth’s pace was rapid.)

([Tam and I:] “Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] Seth began this session in a very positive manner, as though he would be all business this time, and kept at it hammer and tongs.)

(It will be remembered from the 26th session that Philip is the name of John Bradley’s entity, according to Seth.)

[...] And yet, as Jane observed, sometimes under these conditions the material that comes through from Seth is excellent.

[...] These quotations are from sessions she gave at the house through Seth, her trance personality, for visiting groups of former students.)

QUOTATIONS FROM SETH IN ESP CLASS

(I’d debated with myself about not telling Jane the insurance news until I had a chance to ask Seth about it while she was in trance, but soon decided that wouldn’t be fair. [...]

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

(I said to her that for all I knew, the incomprehensible position of Blue Cross represented more of the slipshod bureaucratic behavior Seth had referred to on December 3. I still remembered my dream about the checks out by the car, and so forth. [...]

[...] Seth.”)

(Seth session, spontaneous, during class. [...]

[...] As Seth you know me as an old man, but I have been a young woman. [...]

[...] Lillian began to read the notes she had taken and Seth corrected them as she read, so that there was a constant give and take going on.)

[...] Seth spoke so quickly it was difficult to take notes.) I had better leave you, for you are indeed mad scribblers. [...]

[...] For several seconds Seth and I stared at each other with some amusement. After she came out of trance Jane told me that she had picked up from Seth that he liked the way my painting of “the dog” — Gus, from my dream of August 16 — [...]

(Her physical improvements continue in the overall way that Seth said they would. [...]

(I’m busy figuring out various chronologies to use as background and reference material in my notes for Seth’s next book, Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. [...]

(Whispering: “Good evening, Seth.”)

[...] We asked that Seth comment.

(I might add that her bodily changes keep taking place in the rhythms that Seth has mentioned often. [...]

Now: another Doctor Seth session.

(“Thank you, Seth.”)

(When Jane did begin the session, fairly late, her Seth voice was quite strong, if rather controlled.)

(“Afternoon, Seth.”)

[...] Jane too had been aware of the more powerful Seth voice; she was a bit surprised at it. [...]

(The moment Seth mentioned the insurance connection, it fell into place with my dream—of course, I saw, both had to do with our receiving money from outside sources. [...]

(“Good afternoon, Seth.”)

(“Thank you, Seth.” [...]

[...] Seth’s new book was exonerated.

[...] During the evening as I worked in the kitchen, I heard her sing beautifully in Sumari several times; Seth spoke also, much more forcefully that he had this afternoon. [...]

(Late Friday afternoon—I begin to read Seth sessions for last summer and a line reminds me of what else I was getting from Seth last night and today.

[...] In the meantime though, I want to paraphrase material that came from Seth off and on last night—in the john and bedroom. [...]
