SESSION 72

(After supper this evening I went around the corner to the office of Doc Piper and invited him to attend the session, since last week he had expressed an interest in doing so. Our friend accepted the invitation, with the proviso that he would come to the apartment providing his office was clear of patients by 9 PM. We made a further agreement that he come to Wednesday’s session if he could not make it this evening.

(It was a very hot and humid evening. By 8:55 Doc Piper had not appeared, and from my studio in the back of the apartment I could look across backyards and see his office lights still on. Jane was only a little nervous before the session. “The idea of people we know coming to sessions doesn’t bother me at all,” she said. “It’s only when strangers are coming that I get really nervous.”

(Jane began dictating on time, and in a quiet and normal voice. Her pacing was at a comfortable rate, her eyes dark as usual. She maintained these attitudes for the whole session, although where indicated she took rather long pauses while delivering the material.)

Therefore your manipulations are extremely superficial, as far as their effect on the larger reality is concerned. This is the first time, I believe, that this particular subject has come into our discussions. Yet our fifth-dimensional early session hinted in this direction.

(Although Seth has given us relatively little on the fifth dimension, he has made many references to this one session. See the 12th session, of January 2, 1964, page 60. Notice also that this material was obtained 60 sessions ago; and as far as my memory serves, Seth has not contradicted himself on this fifth dimensional material in any sessions that have taken place since then.)

We are not going to have a long session this evening. I am certainly not giving you any summer vacation. Nevertheless I do go easy on you now and then, merely because I like to vary the intensities of our sessions, as this is a most effective teaching method, and various portions of subject matter cause different energy expenditures.

I always like to have much energy on your part as reserve. It is true that in almost all cases our winter sessions will be most intensive, for various reasons. The matter of this reality, of which you know so little, will be the basis for future discussions, and indeed your inner senses will aid you in the perception of some of its facets.

(End at 10:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she could feel Seth abruptly leave when he reached the end of the session. “He’s gone,” she said. She is of the opinion that Seth likes to deliver his material in batches, whether they be long or short.

(My writing hand felt no fatigue now. Nor did we get to ask about the Hubbell Roberts material included at the beginning of this session. Jane said Seth chose not to bother with it tonight.)

(For the following, 73rd session, we had as guests Dr. and Mrs. Piper, with whom we have become acquainted in the past year or so. After the session, Jane and me showed them how to use the Ouija board, since they were curious.

(The board began to work for them immediately, where it had taken Jane and me quite a few sessions before we obtained anything at all through it. I took down the answers the Pipers obtained, and Jane was an observer.

(Being tired from the session, Jane did not pursue the thing any further, and we let the Pipers alone while they received several more answers. But Jane and I plan to repeat this experiment with other couples, while we observe and see if either of us can pick up, in some fashion, answers the pointer will give.)
