SESSION 669, JUNE 11, 1973
9:40 P.M. MONDAY

(The night was very hot and uncomfortably humid, but Jane didn’t want to miss the session. We held it in her study for a change, with all the doors and windows open.

(Before the session, we voiced the hope once more that Seth would at least comment on Jane’s latest experience involving book work in the sleep state. This had taken place during the early hours of May 29, and had been very vivid; see the notes leading off the 667th session in this chapter. Once again, though, for whatever reasons, Seth didn’t mention it. I also forgot to remind him to do so. It’s easy to miss out on asking specific questions during a session — I’ve done this even when I had a list of them prepared beforehand.

(10:10. “That was one of the few times in all of these sessions,” Jane said, “when I was not even in trance.” She had squirmed about on her chair constantly, but her delivery had picked up to its usual steady pace. For more data on moment points, see the material at 9:26 in the last session. Resume at 10:28.)

You may take your break or end the session as you prefer.

(Seth was all ready to go, Jane added now as we discussed her dream material, so the session resumed at 12:03.)

2. Seth first discussed his theory of “moment points” in a set of four sessions in April and May, 1965, in connection with reincarnation and the dream universe. In the 152nd session he stated: “The whole self of which Ruburt is a part is an extremely elastic one. The various portions of this whole self reach outward and inward with much more resilience than most. [It] surrounds many more moment points simultaneously….” Through one of these, Seth added in a very simplified explanation, he could enter within the limits of Jane’s “psychic comprehension.”

3. I feel that I am such an artist. For some related material see my notes for the 582nd session in Chapter Twenty of Seth Speaks. It’s enough to say here that it wasn’t until after these sessions began, in 1963, that I realized my inner models were quite as valid as those who physically sat before me. Indeed, I often saw the former with a clearer vision, but my early training and work as a commercial artist, beginning in New York City in 1939, conditioned me to believe that the artist was supposed to deal only with what he could “see” objectively.

Now that is enough. We will end our session.

(Since break Seth had taken to calling out more periods, commas, and other such indicia than he usually does, so I included a few examples. He’s indicated this kind of punctuation throughout the book, but is usually more concerned about words to be underlined, or put in quotes or parentheses. See the notes following the 610th session in Chapter One.

(For some of Seth’s earlier material on dreams, dream symbols and healing, nightmare therapy, etc., see sessions 639–41 in Chapter Ten.)
