SESSION 34

(At 7:30 PM. Jane was resting briefly in preparation for tonight’s session, as she usually does. Idly she wondered how our neighbor across the hall, Leonard Yaudes, would be as a witness. Leonard is a school teacher and knows of our interest in ESP, but not about these sessions. Jane then received the following from Seth:)

(Jane believed she received more, but she was in a dreamy state and could recall nothing upon awakening. At 8:30 she had no idea of what Seth would talk about for the session, but she was increasingly aware of a feeling that Seth wanted her to ask Leonard in as a witness. We thought it too late to explain much to him by then, but by 8:35 the feeling was so strong that Jane knocked on Leonard’s door.

(Once again, as soon as this subject came to my mind, Jane began to immediately deal with it. The optimistic remarks had come through the Ouija board in the first two or three sessions; none of them had materialized, and in the light of Seth’s recent material on distortions Jane and I had thought distortion the reason for this failure.)

You will develop. Does your question refer to the sessions?

During the sessions there is some telepathic communication, though this would be impossible at this point to prove.

(Break at 9:31. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her voice had been fairly strong at the start of the session, but it was tapering off by the time break arrived. She said she heard Seth’s good afternoon greeting just before she gave voice to it, and immediately became alarmed because she couldn’t determine what was going on. This is about the way I felt, also. Resume at 9:36.)

Rarely. There are just too many interconnections. This will have to wait for later sessions. On your plane mental enzymes cause many chemical reactions. On some other planes the mental enzymes are unnecessary, since the personality on a conscious level can work such transformations; and here again we run into an apparent contradiction, because while these transformations occur consciously on certain levels it is also true that the personalities concerned do not have to be conscious of the transformations. But they can be if they prefer.

(Jane’s voice now was practically normal. During our sessions we no longer kept the curtains drawn. After each turn through the living room, Jane had been pausing to look out one of our windows at the rather busy intersection of Water and Walnut Streets, one house away. Now as she dictated she remained at the window looking out.)

(I had a peculiar feeling of something gone wrong. It was the first time in all our sessions that any problem like this had arisen. Jane continued to stare at me as she stood by the window.

(“You said it in a session some time ago. I happened to remember it because I was retyping the session. Or did I get the word wrong?”)

(“Well, I can’t remember the whole context now, but I think you were comparing the inner senses to the outer senses. Somewhere back around the 15th or 16th sessions.”)

(Hoping I could find the line in question in the few moments we had during break, I picked out Volume Two of our typed notes, and was lucky enough to find after a brief search the line in question. See page 107, of the 17th session. Jane sat down to read the passage over. She resumed dictating at 10:50.)

We have covered some necessary material this evening that will be a basis for further later sessions. In particular read over the instance of our imagined inner sense experience and the learning implication involved.

I would suggest when possible that you both have a glass of wine before a session, though it is not strictly necessary. The chiropractic treatments will help both of you in many ways, and have helped you both relax.

Though you amuse me when you try to egg me on. This is the tail end of the session and I am not above pulling your tail. I am reluctant as always to leave you.

(“We tried to get a witness for the session tonight.”)

And now good night my tootsies, you tickle me. I always look forward to our Monday sessions in particular.

(My remark above was based on a flash of intuition. Although Seth agreed with it he did not elaborate upon it, so the session ended at 11:35.
