SESSION 165
[... 1 paragraph ...]
(It was a very hot and humid night, but in order to avoid interruptions we held the session in our small back room. I was affected by the heat much more than Jane was; as usual, she seemed almost impervious to such distractions while she was in trance.
(Jane’s eyes remained closed for the whole session. Her voice was quiet, her delivery rather fast. She used a few pauses, none of them very long.)

This will be, I trust, a quiet and peaceful session.

Such understanding simply cannot follow logical lines. The intellect may indeed grasp some of this understanding from the intuitions, but the intellect itself is aware of only minute portions of the whole personality. Again, this is not meant to minimize the value of the intellect. The fact remains that answers sought by a personality can only be found through a traveling within the actions that compose the self. Within our last session, I explained some of the basic psychological heritage that resides within the action makeup of the personality. There is no escaping this heritage, and it is so important that without it the personality system could not be built up.

The very nature of the ego and of the personality is formed by the ability to choose between actions or stimuli; but life as it is not connected to a highly differentiated ego, rejoices in all stimuli, as sensation, whether it is pleasurable or painful, for these distinctions do not exist in your terms. In the beginning of our sessions I spoke in a general manner, for example, saying that trees and plant life had a consciousness, but not a developed ego system. The tree, therefore, is conscious of the pain connected with, say, the severing of a limb.

I will then bid you a fond good evening, and we will for a time be concerned with the various aspects of human personality. You should find these discussions of great benefit. I enjoyed our quiet session.

(End at 10:43. Jane was well dissociated, as she had been for most of the session. It took her several moments to open her eyes. My writing hand was tired from the fast pace. Apropos of this, Jane said that subjectively the session had seemed about fifteen minutes long to her.)
