SESSION 185
[... 1 paragraph ...]
(Since today was a holiday, Jane and I had some extra time. We used part of it to copy the 179th, 180th and 183rd sessions, plus Part One of the 184th, to send to Dr. Instream. We also agreed on a letter to him. Jane will mail the material tomorrow.
(Once again I planned an envelope test for the session, should the opportunity arise. I prepared the usual double envelope while Jane was working at the front of the apartment. For the test I used a color photograph of my brother Bill, his wife and two young children, taken in Webster, NY, in 1959. I found the photo accidentally in my files earlier in the day while looking for something else. I knew Jane hadn’t seen it for some time, perhaps years. Bill is 37 years old.

(The session was held in our small back room. The window was closed, for my hay fever bothered me most of the day. In spite of this however, I believe I have been helping myself to some extent through suggestion. Jane began speaking while sitting down as usual, with her eyes closed. Her voice was quiet. She began rather slowly, but soon picked up her pace considerably.)

For this session we will leave our material concerning dreams, to discuss another matter. We will however return to the dream data at our next session.

(I was glad to hear this, and had been wondering whether Seth would give me this suggestion without my asking. He had done likewise in the unscheduled 184th session last Friday, and the suggestion had worked well for me. Whatever its source I had certainly responded.)

We shall have our sessions for many years. There is no fear that any of the material will be left dangling in midair. The material will change now and then in the balance of its components, for it too must change and grow. The identity of the material must change and grow if it will endure.

(It was 10:06. Reaching over, I dropped the test envelope in Jane’s lap as she spoke. Her eyes were closed. They did not open now, nor did her delivery falter. Actually she gave no sign that she was aware of the envelope. I chose this method of introducing the envelope into Jane’s awareness to see if it would halt or interfere with the material of the moment, and was pleased to see that it did not. I had taken care to see that Jane had not seen the test envelope during breaks, or before the session.)

We will now end the session, though I would continue if you prefer.

(End at 10:31. Jane was dissociated as usual. As before, her eyes had alternated between opening and closing. Her pace had been good. She said that Seth was in a good mood and would have liked to continue the session.

(Tracing of cancelled United States postage stamps used in the 6th envelope test, Session 186, September 8,1965.)
