SESSION 628, NOVEMBER 15, 1972
9:29 P.M. WEDNESDAY
(In Monday’s session Seth had started a discussion of Jane’s recent visitor, “Augustus,” who had shown definite signs of a subordinate or secondary personality. As we sat for tonight’s session Jane said, “I know what Seth’s going to call Augustus’s other personality: ‘Augustus Two.’” We were amused, thinking of Seth and Seth Two.1 Now, Jane began speaking slowly in trance.)
[... 37 paragraphs ...]
(11:22. Jane remembered nothing of what Seth had said. But as soon as she came out of trance — which was quickly, as usual — she told me, “I can tell that Seth’s got more on that right there, all ready and waiting…. In between sessions I don’t feel aware of that usually, though I dream about it sometimes….”
(This was the end of book work for the evening. After break Seth came through with two pages about a matter I’d brought up earlier tonight. Thus the recorded session ended at 11:51 p.m.
(The session resumed, however, after I had put my notebook aside. During a spontaneous exchange, Seth delivered some insights concerning his own origin and creative aspects, and why Jane’s personality would make the emergence of a Seth possible. There was more. I didn’t write down what was said, and as usual ended up wishing I had — perhaps we’ll take the time to recoup it during a session.
(I’ve always found that the material seems to fly away unless it’s recorded at once in some fashion. One of the reasons for this, I’ve often thought, is because Jane isn’t the only one who’s in a trance during a session — the receiver [myself, for instance] is too, in his or her own way. When the connections between Seth and his audience are broken, the material is to some degree “left behind” in that common meeting area.)
