SESSION 43

(While Jane was reading over the 42nd session this morning after breakfast, the word disentanglement came to her mind. This, she believes, is the eighth inner sense, making possible transportation and levitation; Seth has briefly referred to these two being dependent upon another inner sense.

(While napping at about 4:00 PM, for a very brief moment Jane experienced the feeling she has described as infinite blackness, or enlargement. See page 309 [in Volume One of The Early Sessions]. It came while she was still awake; she had just relaxed and her eyes were closed. This evening Willy behaved admirably, sleeping through the whole session. It was a warm and windy spring night, very beautiful, and during the session one of the living room windows was open.

(Jane dictated in a voice just a bit stronger than normal; she paced at an average rate, her eyes darkened as usual. She began talking a little faster than she had the two previous sessions. She was nervous as usual before the session began.)

I told Ruburt that he wasn’t pregnant, so now I expect that our sessions will be a little smoother again now that he is relieved of the big question. I must say that his discipline was admirable, and that I myself gave him much aid. The sessions themselves have helped Ruburt develop discipline.

I am pleased that our practical exercises outside of class so to speak, are coming along so well. For one thing our Ruburt is a Doubting Thomas from way back, and evidence of the inner senses that are experienced outside of our sessions help along these lines. I do not want gullible ninnies, however I certainly would enjoy being taken at my word occasionally. Though the shock might be too much for even my constitution.

(Here, Jane tapped on my desk for emphasis. Her delivery had slowed up somewhat by now, proceeding at the pace of the last two sessions.)

It involves the inner self, and the tissue capsule which also surrounds the physical camouflage body in a manner and for a purpose which I have briefly explained in an earlier session.

Briefly let me mention that transportation in the universe, that is transportation as such, is basically unnecessary. This is only a preliminary statement for other sessions, and I will not go into it deeply at this time.

The movement through space is a distortion. I expect to say much more about this in further sessions, as it is extremely important; and you can see now perhaps why our eighth sense, disentanglement, is so important, since the inner self must disentangle itself from a particular camouflage before it can change. It must ignore, so to speak, one set of camouflage and be able to either adopt another smoothly or to dispense with camouflage entirely.

Again let me mention that you in particular, Joseph, had a much more pleasant winter than you would have enjoyed without the knowledge of your own present personality gained from our sessions. I suggest you take a brief break.

I hope that you will develop along these lines, but the rate of progress is of course up to you, and your individual abilities will vary as to particulars. This is to be expected. As a rule the use of psychological time will help you both develop in a fairly balanced manner. I have enjoyed this evening’s session. After some more material with our inner senses perhaps we shall take some time out to go into your various life readings, as I have let them go to get other material to you.

Incidentally, though I promised, didn’t I, that I wouldn’t meddle, I do think that your idea, camping weekends during the summer, is an excellent one. And also that you have made a good decision as far as Artistic is concerned, particularly in that you requested more money. You have to be able to afford all the paper to record our sessions.

Perhaps we will take a good part of a session for it.
