(I was tempted to try to obtain more information from Seth about immediately future events, following up his own hints, but did not do so because he called for a short session. Jane and I leave Elmira this Friday, July 9, to attend the Hypnosis Symposium at New York’s Oswego State University College on July 9, 10 and 11.)
