We will imagine then these various one and two, Mono One and Mono Two, multiplied, literally, an endless amount of times. Now on your recorder I believe you have a setting for stereo. This enables you to unite and combine harmoniously the elements on the various channels simultaneously. I am taking my time here so that we get this clearly, for I do not often come through with the pure clarity of stereophonic.

I have been slow in giving you this data, since it is so divorced from your normal experience that it is difficult to put the concept into words. You do not have sufficient words to clearly explain what I mean. We will end up making this quite clear, however.

The ego maintains much of its stability by looking backwards, so to speak, into its experience of its past, and finding something of itself there. Now the past may be an illusion, but it is not illusion to the ego. The portions of the self that deal in probabilities do not have such an experience with a past, to give them their feeling of identity or continuity.

The identity, the basic identity, of these portions of the self, are carried by what you could compare to the subconscious that you know. This is difficult, but listen: in these portions of the self it is the subconscious that carries the burden of identity, and it is the ego whose experiences are of a dreamlike, plastic nature. I use these terms to make the point clear. Do not let them confuse you. These portions of the self would seem topsy-turvy to you for this reason.

Now, do you have a test for me? I will from here on in ask if you have an envelope instead.

(“and an occurrence that was not repeated.” The sheriff told us the bureau was flooded by mail requests for plates and was very much behind; indeed they had just begun filling mail orders a day or so before our visit. The sheriff advised us to return a few days later if we did not receive our plates. Although we didn’t receive the plates by the day he mentioned, we did not return to the bureau as he said to do, but chose to wait a little longer; the plates arrived the next week.

(“Many colors.” We can think of connections here but do not have enough data. I neglected to ask Seth to elaborate when he resumed.

Now I will continue with the session if you request me to do so, or I will close it to give you a rest.

I would apologize to Ruburt, but the distortion was not my own. I do deeply regret it however. I also think that you will find his attitude from now on an improvement over his past attitude, as far as our experiments are concerned, and this will be of benefit to all of us.

Do you have any questions for me?

That was indeed our weak point, and since we were doing well I did not press it. You were the taller man, and your garage man was the short one. I let this go since we were doing well enough without pressing Ruburt.
