SESSION 539, JULY 1, 1970,
9:18 P.M. WEDNESDAY
(At the end of the last session, which was held the day before yesterday, Jane told me that Seth had the rest of Chapter Ten planned; tonight, now, she said she didn’t have the slightest idea of how Seth would continue his work on the chapter.
(The day had been very hot and sticky. Stormy weather had been building up for some hours. Finally it began to rain hard, with thunder and lightning, at about 9. We wondered whether a session would be held, since Seth had told us some time ago that electrical displays interfered with trance states. Yet the session began as usual; Seth, at least, was apparently not bothered.)

(9:37. Break came early, considering the time the session began. “Things are unsettled,” Jane said. “I was bothered at times.” She had been aware of the sirens especially. She said her trance had been “pulsating” or wavelike: she would go “in” good, and then swing up closer to her usual state of consciousness. Yet as far as I could tell the material was as good as ever, the manner of her delivery unchanged.

Now there is some instability this evening, resulting from the atmosphere, but we held the session in any case.

(Afterwards we talked over Jane’s recent idea — to holding, say, a session per day for six consecutive days, to see how much Seth would get done on the book in such an arbitrary period. It would be interesting to see part of it produced that way. The idea never materialized, however, even though Seth had expressed his willingness to try something like this back in March, when Chapter Three was underway. See the notes for the 10:31 break in the 519th session, and Seth’s subsequent remarks. Jane stopped looking at the book in the 521st session for March 30; it’s now July 1.)
