I do not want you to think that the answers to your questions lie prepackaged in the dream state, either, relatively inaccessible except to those (long pause) who possess unique talents or some secretive knowledge of the world of the occult.

9:45 P.M. I found Seth’s abrupt end of the session to be unexpected, in spite of Jane’s many long pauses. “He is ending,” she said, meaning this book. “I can always tell. Or I think I can. To me, it starts to get some kind of resounding ring to it.”)
