SESSION 64

(Monday’s session, due 6/22, was not held because Jane’s father was visiting us from California. This is the first session we have deliberately missed since the sessions began last December. Jane’s father arrived last Saturday, and as early as Sunday morning Jane announced to me that there would be no session Monday night.

(At the exact time the session was due Monday, Jane, Del, Midge and I were visiting our landlord and his wife on their farm in Pine City. As 9 PM approached I watched Jane to see if she would give any sign that she was aware of Seth, or that he wanted a session. She gave none; later Jane said she hadn’t the slightest inkling of Seth’s presence as session time passed. Del and Midge have left, and we anticipate a normal session tonight.

(It will be remembered that in the last, 63rd, session, pages 158-159, Seth stated that a narcotics scandal was to break in Elmira within 3 months. This information was given on 6/17/64. Today, 6/24, 1964, an article appeared in the Elmira Star-Gazette detailing a narcotics trial taking place in Ithaca NY, perhaps 35 miles distant. An Elmira tavern is named, along with the fact that a New York City detective has given Elmira authorities the names of Elmirans for further investigation. The names have not been revealed. Seth said that five people would be involved. It can be categorically stated that neither Jane nor I had any knowledge that such an investigation was underway involving Elmirans, before Seth mentioned it last week.

(By 8:55 Jane was a little nervous, though not as much as in the past. She had no idea of Seth’s subject matter for the evening. As session time arrived our cat Willy also became quite active. Many insects had accumulated on the screens of our living room windows, and a few had gotten inside the room. Willy rushed several of them, even climbing up the screens at times.

—after missing our last scheduled session. Ruburt had my permission and even my blessing.

I might mention that Ruburt handled the situation with his father’s mistress in a much more intelligent fashion than he would have, if it were not for the insight he has gained as a result of these sessions.

These are completely separate constructions of energy into matter. You do not—and I repeat: you do not —perceive all constructions into matter. You only perceive your own physical constructions. Ruburt intuitively grasped this fact even before our sessions.

(Here Seth refers to Jane’s book, The World as Idea Construction, which she began in the latter part of last year, 1963. These sessions began later, in December/63.)

Measurements can be made of one so-called one physical object merely because inner communication is so exact and extensive. In our last session, during a break, Philip mentioned the television set as being one physical object, about which he believed you could all agree in any discussion of size, material, color and dimension.

I am keeping within my intention of holding rather briefer sessions for a while. Nevertheless there are a few points that I would like to make.

I will here close the session. We have covered much this evening, and there is much I would still like to cover. However, eleven o’clock time for now is a reasonable and overall effective closing time.

Do not grow impatient. You will become, or you will have, plenty of time to become tired of me yet. Ruburt, my bonus for an excellent session will be a more comfortable back. He is handling himself in a much more efficient manner lately however, and all is well.

(End at 11:01. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her back felt much improved since the beginning of the session. My writing hand felt just a little tired. The sculpture Seth refers to above represents some done by students in Bill Macdonnel’s art classes; at the end of the school year the students did not claim their work, so Bill presented us with some pieces. We like them very much.)
