SESSION 203

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher visited us this evening, and Seth came through later in the evening. Before this however we had the time to go over the three sessions in which Seth dealt with the Gallaghers while they were on vacation in Puerto Rico; these are sessions 199, 200, and 201.

(As Seth stated in the 201st session, Jane’s psychological time experience of October 22, involving the Gallaghers, did prove to be quite legitimate; along with some less striking psy-time events Jane experienced during the week Peg and Bill were in Puerto Rico.

(The session tonight did not dwell on the recent experiments however, although Seth did express himself as pleased because we were pleased. Jane has made copies of the clairvoyant material from the three sessions involving the Gallaghers; they are to write in their account of what actually transpired after each of Seth’s predictions or statements. We will then assemble all of the data into coherent form and include it in an early future session. Jane’s psy-time experiments will also be so treated so that we have a unified body of work covering this experiment. We are most grateful for the wholehearted cooperation of the Gallaghers.

(Some quotes from Seth will be given from tonight’s unscheduled session, since I did make rather thorough notes. They are not all verbatim, however. Jane was in a fine mood, spoke rapidly as Seth for the most part, and I did not try to record each word. Her eyes were open at times, her voice good but not loud except for one or two brief occasions. She smoked while speaking, and for the most part sat or kneeled on the floor before our long coffee table; these are favorite positions of hers, not at all unusual when we have company.

(Shortly after the session began Seth told us that we would receive another letter from Dr. Instream “within a few days.” Seth also suggested Jane and I write to Dr. Rhine. The Duke physiotherapist had told Peggy that Dr. Rhine answers each letter he receives personally, “even those from crackpots.”

(Seth told Peg and Bill there is constant communication between them telepathically. He said the four of us would embark “on excellent circumstances” this winter but did not elaborate. Seth told Bill that he took his problems with him on vacation, especially the ulcer, and Bill heartily agreed. Seth then repeated some general suggestions concerning the ulcer, given in earlier sessions. Bill showed us his Japanese “tranquilizer,” a small black wooden carving he had bought in Puerto Rico.

(The portrait referred to by Seth happened to hang on a wall facing Jane this evening. In the 168th session, Seth stated the painting represented him, but he did not say in which life. The idea “came” to me one day and I painted the portrait without a model. It is quite successful, and depicts an elderly, rotund, bald man standing by a window through which strong light streams. He gestures toward the viewer. As soon as I began work on it last spring, Jane insisted it was of Seth. I did not know who it represented consciously; merely that I had a very clear mental image of a face and figure to paint. The work progressed with considerable ease. See Volume 4.

(Note that in the unscheduled 192nd session, Seth and Bill also had an interchange concerning underwater artifacts, Indians, Vikings and Jesuits in this section of the northeastern USA. If what Seth said in that session can ever be verified, some history books will have to be rewritten. Again, see Volume 4.

(Seth remarked that our weather neither excited or concerned him, and that personality affects weather. He then threw out the God concept as a question for general discussion. He was greeted with a large silence momentarily. Seth asked for ideas from Bill and Peg; it will be remembered that in past sessions he said he would go into this question when they witnessed sessions.

We have discussed this to some degree in our sessions... I speak of psychic gestalts. You see but portions of these pyramids of intelligences... what we are able to see at any one time.

(See the following sessions for material on the God concept, psychic and pyramid gestalts, and related questions: 51, 81, 95, 97, 115, 135, 146-9, 151, 177, among others, in Volumes 2, 3, and 4.)
