SESSION 57

(By 8:45 no witnesses had appeared. Up from her nap Jane felt both nervous and sleepy. The thought had come to her that Seth would discuss the self and the notself tonight. As session time approached our cat Willy put on one of his performances, persistently diving at Jane’s legs and ankles; as usual he calmed down as soon as the session began.

(Once more Jane began dictating in a quiet voice, pacing normally, with her eyes darkening as usual. She maintained these characteristics through the whole session.)

We will have another quiet session, for which I know Ruburt is always thankful.

I closed our last session somewhat earlier, and intend to do the same this evening. I had even contemplated cutting down the number of sessions, but do not want to do this.

You have both been slightly weary however, and since the material comes through much more easily now, I can say what I want with fewer words. I do not want either of you to become overtired, and I do not want to prolong a session when I have delivered my lecture for the night, simply because of any arbitrary idea of time involved, especially when you can both use the sleep.

I still prefer two sessions a week however, and on those occasions when the situation warrants it, I will then feel free to continue as much longer as I would like, within reason.

My very best regards to you both, and do not feel upset at my closing a bit early. I know perhaps better than either of you when you become weary, and I also know when to press ahead. You must by now have some idea of what it means to take so much of your clock time for our sessions.

(End at 11:15. Jane was dissociated as usual. Jane felt that Seth was in one of his expansive and friendly moods, and would have continued but for the late hour. Neither of us exhibited any hand phenomena during or after the session.)
