SESSION 610, JUNE 7, 1972
9:10 P.M. WEDNESDAY
(A number of events, foremost among them the death of Jane’s mother after an illness of many years, caused us to lay these sessions aside after Seth finished his preface on April 10. Jane did manage to hold her ESP and writing classes part of the time; she also worked on her novel, The Education of Oversoul 7, which she discusses in her Introduction.
(Through it all, however, we looked forward to our daily participation in Seth’s new book. Jane hadn’t looked at Seth Speaks for long periods during its production in order to avoid conscious involvement with it — but, she said recently, smiling, she plans to read and use this work session by session as she delivers it. Whatever nervousness she’d felt about producing it was minimal by now. I encouraged her new free attitude.
(I’ll indicate Jane’s various states of consciousness as I usually do in these sessions, but the notes can only be hints from an interested observer. The true variety and depth of the various realities and personalities she reaches are qualities that are uniquely hers, and they often defy the written word.)

(“Okay.” End at 11:10 p.m. Jane holds her ESP class on Tuesday night each week. Since I’m more solitary by nature, however, I usually type Monday’s session then or work on filing and correspondence.
(In answer to many queries, I’ll explain here why I prefer to write these sessions down instead of using a recorder. Shortly after Seth began to speak through Jane in late 1963 we tried recording the material, but I soon learned that I can type a session from my notes a lot faster than I can from a tape.

(When Jane speaks to me as Seth her delivery is slower than it is during a class session, for instance. This, along with Seth’s own instructions, makes punctuation easy. The copy is concise; after an occasional correction it’s ready for publication. Moreover, I think the fact that such high-quality work is obtained this way says important things about these sessions.)
