SESSION 25
[... 1 paragraph ...]
(This was our first attempt at recording Jane’s voice during a session. We knew little about operating the recorder yet, although the night before Jane had successfully recorded a hypnosis session in which she had helped me with my back trouble.
(We had but a 5-inch reel, and since the hypnosis material was also on this reel we didn’t think we could record the whole Seth session, even with 4-track technique. But Jane set up the recorder, placed the mike on a coffee table near the center of the room, and ran a few feet of tape to make sure her voice was picked up from any part of the room. She then rewound the tape, recorded her name, the time and the date, and switched the set off. This was done by 8:45.

(To open the session, we sat silently at the board. As we touched the pointer it began to move.)

(By now Jane was pacing around the room at a fast rate, back and forth past the recorder. Her eyes had darkened. She displayed practically no voice or hand phenomena during the session.)

(Break at 9:27. I announced the time aloud, we made a few comments on how the session was going, then Jane shut off the recorder. She was not nervous by now, as usual. We had the machine set to record at the slowest speed possible, in order to make the tape last. When Jane felt Seth coming on again, she turned on the recorder, I announced the time, and Jane began to dictate once more. Resume at 9:31.)

(Break at 10:35. Jane turned off the recorder, not wishing to speak into it until her voice had “returned” to her. At times she felt this way subjectively about Seth taking over her voice, though outwardly during this session there had been little change. When Jane began dictating again, for the first time her voice became somewhat louder and heavier. Resume at 10:38.)

As usual I could go on. You are both very patient with me, even that old nervous pigeon. If I am rather impersonal during some sessions it is only because there is so much material that I want to give you.
And so my dear friends, remembering your friendly and fond good will, and your human limitations, I will close the session, much to my regret.
