(This was the first time Jane had written anything while in trance. Actually she was making some small diagrams or symbols, moving the pen quite deliberately, squinting down at the paper.
(Sue sat just opposite Jane, and I gestured for her to number the symbols when Jane lay the pen down and began to describe them for Seth. About a minute had passed. Tracings of the symbols are shown below, numbered in the sequence in which Seth-Jane produced them.

(Speaking emphatically for Seth, Jane pointed at the last symbol as she held the paper up for Sue and me to see.
(Concerning symbols… In 1947 scholars began acquiring the seven now famous Dead Sea Scrolls. They had been found in a cave situated above the usually dry Qumran wadi, or riverbed, which leads to the Dead Sea a mile or so away. Excavations in the Judaean desert nearby soon revealed the ruins of a monastery which had been occupied by a divergent Jewish group, for varying periods, between 180 B.C. and A.D. 68. The Qumran settlement was but fifteen miles from Jerusalem and Bethlehem. It has been linked with the peaceful Essene sect by some authorities, while others just as strongly associate it with the more aggressive Zealots.
(Some weeks after this session Jane and I were interested to read that the St. Mark’s Isaiah Scroll, from the Qumran find, contains marginal symbols that had still not been deciphered by the 1960’s; this according to the last printing of the reference work we consulted. Some of the symbols, which were illustrated, bear more than a little resemblance to those Seth-Jane drew — especially the last one.)

(10:24. At break, Jane told us she couldn’t draw versions of the symbols based upon those she’d done in trance. “I saw them quite clearly, mentally, when I was doing them,” she said. “I don’t see anything now, though.” Looking at the last drawing, number five, Jane did say that the serpent’s tail was supposed to be represented by the lower loop.
