(According to her, ectoplasm formed the various changes and materializations about my hand in our previous seance with Bill Macdonnel. Sessions, she said, should be regular. Darkness or very dim red light will produce the best results for beginners. Rob asked if it would be possible for me to continue in full light. Malba said light would not bother her, but might bother me. She said that the way Rob and I work together, we need both of us to succeed, and that our channels were open before the session.

(Malba will go over this material later if we want to check notes we intend to make. Malba said she was the girl I spoke about dying early in Levonshire, England, but that she died at 14 and not 17, as I said. The ego distorts material, as in this case. She also said that if we meet anyone who would be good in seance group, we would know it.

(Talking about checking data she said, “You don’t rip the head of a flower off the stem to see if it will grow a new blossom.” She said I should stop smoking.

(Session lasted from about 9:15 until 10:30 PM. Rob wrote up his notes immediately after, then I checked them to add what I could that he might have forgotten.)
