(John spent last week making the rounds of doctors’ offices in Williamsport. One day while driving about town he felt strongly that he should return home. He felt that mail awaited him, that the letter was from his district manager, and that it concerned a raise for him. Ego-wise, John doubted the whole thing, especially so since he had not been getting along too well with his superior recently.

Now in the affair of the raise, you picked this up, Philip, first of all telepathically from the mind of your superior. You were also aware of it however clairvoyantly. In your mind’s eye you literally saw the letter and read its contents, though you were not aware of the actual action as it occurred. The original decision however was made somewhat previous to the meeting which you attended, but it was at that time not yet definite. And your behavior at the meeting reinforced your superior’s decision, and made it certain.
(This is the Binghamton meeting referred to here. John attended it on Tuesday, October 19, and it was while he was engaged in this endeavor that Jane tuned in on his activities. John clashed with his superior at the meeting, and because of his outspoken actions had no thought of getting a raise.)
It was not however your general behavior that made this difference, but a particular remark which was addressed I believe to the meeting at large; and which was a tip-off to your dissatisfaction, and which in some way was aimed particularly, he believed, at your immediate superior.

(Jane was in a good mood and speaking rapidly for Seth. I had been writing practically at top speed since the session began. At break John confirmed that he had made a remark of dissatisfaction to the meeting at large. It concerned expense-account allowances for gas and oil, and John’s superior took this as aimed at him personally; the two men clashed on the floor, verbally.)

There will be others if you remain with the company, for much of your superior’s income is dependent upon your own, and he has only at the most two other salesman in his territory which are lucrative for him. One is a short man, already beginning to bald. And your superior himself worries about his own position.

(To avoid too many notes at break, I can add some comments as the session progresses. At next break, John confirmed Seth’s statement that his superior was worried about his job. John also agreed with Seth that only two other salesman are selling well in the division. The short man who is already beginning to bald, John knows as Bill Driscoll; John told us he is a very good salesman and the only one in the division fitting that description. Driscoll is not old, John said, merely balding prematurely.
(As stated before, the floor clash between John and his superior involved expense accounts. John agreed that this was high-level company policy that filtered down to the local level.)
