(Jane started a new book today, and she’s exhilarated — intoxicated — by this development in her creative abilities. It came about because of a seemingly innocuous accident — an event that could hardly have been accidental at all.
(This morning, while working on Chapter 18 of Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, she’d abruptly felt the impulse to move into another room; she wanted to get away from the sunlight glaring through the thin drapes covering the sliding glass doors of her study at the back of the house. On her way out of the room she picked up a loose-leaf notebook that contained, she thought, her entries in her daily journal. In the living room, Jane discovered that instead she’d chosen her notebook on “Heroics.” It holds many of the notes on the heroic self, and heroic impulses, that she’d discussed in chapters 25–27 of Psychic Politics, which had been published in 1976. It also contains a number of ideas on heroics that she’d written after finishing that work. “When I looked at those notes I knew all of a sudden that I was to do that book — Heroics — that I was to keep on looking for the heroic self I’d written about in Politics,” she told me as we ate lunch. “Now’s the time for it.”

(Jane isn’t sure of the title, Heroics, yet, or how she’ll put the book together. “It’ll have a lot of poetry, though, stuff I’ve been saving for years. My God, the whole morning changed when I got that idea. Everything looks charged, or new or something….”

(10:20. “I feel real good, and Seth did well finishing that material,” Jane said. “I feel good about Heroics, too. Before the session I was worried about what good stuff we might get, and whether we could put it in this book or if it would just lay there for years. But something you said helped —”
(“That I don’t worry about things like that anymore,” I repeated. “I discovered I don’t want to spend the time being concerned, so I’ve changed my beliefs. I can’t do that any longer.” Whereupon Jane loudly and humorously returned as Seth, leaning forward for emphasis, her eyes wide and dark:)
You never should have [worried], and neither should he (Jane). The book sessions will cover everything that needs to be covered.

(10:23 P.M. But, I told Jane with some humor of my own, I also knew that that knowledge wouldn’t stop me from occasionally inserting what I think is a particularly good and appropriate nonbook session into whatever project Seth may have going at the time. She laughed.)
