SESSION 574, MARCH 17, 1971,
9:26 P.M. WEDNESDAY

(No session was held Monday, since Jane needed to rest. She was very sleepy and relaxed before the session this evening also, but she wanted to hold it. Once she began speaking for Seth, however, her manner turned fairly active; her voice became very clear and precise, and slightly loud.)

(Jane’s interest in these possibilities began to grow after I described the 570th session in Chapter Seventeen to her — it will be remembered that Seth suggested I do this — and my progress was accelerated through Patty Middleton’s visit a week later, with her information about alpha states.)

(10:02. Jane’s trance had been deep, and my writing hand could attest to her fast delivery. In spite of being sleepy just before the session, she said, she had “felt Seth as clear as a bell.” She had indeed spoken with an extra clarity. She’d also been aware of what Seth was saying, which usually isn’t the case.

(10:59 P.M. Jane’s trance had again been very good. She had experienced many images, but couldn’t put them into words now. My writing hand was lame; because of this we didn’t resume the session, much as I wanted to.

(Jane told me that had the session continued, Seth was going to say that Patty Middleton’s visit last week had been incipient from the time we met her in Philadelphia, in September, 1970. Seth knew there was a high probability that she would be here when he was working on the section of his book concerning stages of consciousness. This confirms my own speculations about the timing of her visit; see the notes prefacing the 573rd session in Chapter Eighteen.
