SESSION 69

(At noon today Jane told me she thought Seth would give us a short session, because of the extraordinary one of Monday, 7/6. This was to help me get caught up on all the typing.

(Jane was up from her nap at 8:30 PM. As session time approached she felt a little nervous, yet not very much. By 8:50 PM, Willy was once again prowling through the apartment, both alert and stealthy at the same time. But again, as soon as the session began he calmed down and began to doze in a chair.

I see that we are alone this evening. I enjoyed our last session immensely.

(Thinking this point over after Monday’s session, I did not recall Willy making any fuss, except for the one time detailed on page 211, during the session.)

I suggest your first break. And since I tarried with you longer than usual at our last session, our meeting this evening will not be of the usual duration.

The discussion on matter will still involve us in many more sessions. Such an apparition however is composed of legitimate matter, and involves value fulfillment on the part of the atoms and molecules that compose it.

I am enthusiastic still, over the accomplishments of our previous session.

(See the 9th session, December 18/63, page 43, in Volume 1.)

There is much more I will say here in another session on personal matters. In any case you are learning to erect your own protection. You have both become much more effective along that line.

(Break at 10:00. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she could feel Seth leading up to this point through the last session. She also still felt it would be a short session. My writing hand felt no fatigue.

(During this break Jane and I checked one point we had thought of since the last session, and this was the amount of light available in the room during the time Bill Macdonnel and I had noted the change in Jane’s features as she stood in the bathroom doorway.

(I now had Jane take the same spot again. See the floor plan on page 223. I soon discovered that even the pole lamp I always have on furnished enough light to see Jane’s features clearly. Even though this light is on the other side of the bath door, due to reflection from the white walls of the room there was plenty of light. With the light on the room divider on, or the closet light on, the illumination was enhanced. Jane said that after careful thought she felt the closet light was also on during the break at 9:56. I had neglected to check this point at the time of the session.

Now this is the point at which I was leading. And though I know I shall disappoint you, I have decided to close the session.

(I asked the above question because the apparition material of the last session had brought the York Beach episode to mind.)

(See page 219, 68th session.)

(See the 64th session, page 172. Jane was smiling in a most amused fashion. Again now, she walked over to our couch and squatted down upon one arm of it as she had done in the last session. I wondered if again Seth was keeping her from her cigarettes, which lay on the table before me.)

(Already, due to my questions, the session had run well past the period where I was sure Seth would have ordinarily ended it.)

(“Well, we’ll get every friend we’ve got all together there in the living room, have a session, and you can explain it all to them at once.”)

(“I’ve been busy writing. I’m wondering about closing the session.”)

I will, in careful deference to your wishes, therefore end the session.
