This will be one of the very practical contributions of these sessions to daily life. I am not going to keep you until 11:30. Nevertheless these statements concerning energy should be taken most seriously, for you both can benefit from them. They are not distortions. Ruburt’s performance during our sessions should certainly be adequate proof for my statements concerning additional energy automatically taken and used.

The nail had to do with a horseshoe in a previous life. At that time an unshod horse stepped upon a nail caught between the wooden planks of a portion of a stable floor, the nail being in an upright position and the horse’s foot tender from an injury.

Your father in that life tried to control the horse but its forefoot came down upon the nail. Your father planked the hot shoe upon the foot and you screamed, thinking of the horse’s pain. You were three. When you stepped upon the nail in California, the memory leaped from the depths of the third level of the subconscious, through shock, into the uppermost or first subconscious level.

(“What was my name in that life?”)

(“What did I mean by using the word Maryland, when Jane asked me where I lived in that life?”

You were at that time slim and disciplined to some degree, ending up however with four children and a wife who became an invalid, the wife being Ruburt’s present mother. Ruburt has blocked this in the past. You did not get along well, and instantly disliked each other in this life.

Walter Zeh was your wife’s sister. I have decided to tell you this. Walter Zeh was tubercular, and also as a woman extremely fleshy, as indeed your wife was. When Walter met Ruburt’s mother they also disliked each other instantly in this life, since they quarreled over the same man, and you were that man. You wanted the sister that you did not get. In other words you wanted Ruburt’s present mother.

(“Well then, can you tell use what my occupation was in that life?”)

(Jane’s voice was by now very hoarse and tired, yet she continued. I take Seth’s reference to a friend’s apothecary shop to mean the one operated by our friend in this life, John Bradley, who has been a witness to several sessions. According to Seth, John in his immediate past life ran such a shop in Boston; he moved at that time in the outer circle of our acquaintance. See the 21st session [in Vol. One]. In that life Seth states John died in 1863, which helps determine the time Jane and I lived in our immediately past life also.)
