SESSION 235

(The regularly scheduled session for Monday, February 21, was not held. Jane and I felt the need to rest and vary our routine. As a result we felt much refreshed for tonight’s session. We wanted to make up for the Dr. Instream experiment we missed on Monday, however, so before tonight’s session we mentioned aloud that we hoped Seth would deal with this.

(The two young couples, Marilyn and Don Wilbur, and Ann Diebler and Paul Sinderman, witnessed the unscheduled session of November 5,1965. See the notes for the 206th session. The Wilburs and Ann Diebler also witnessed the unscheduled session for December 3,1965; see the notes for the 214th session.

(The session was held again in our front room, and was not interrupted. The windows were closed to dampen traffic noise. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, but they soon began to open for brief intervals. Her pace was rather slow, and she was smoking as the session began.)

(“Four, the number four, having to do with several of a kind.” There is a connection here but we did not see it at the time. Seth reminds us of it later in the session.

(Note above that Seth first gives data connected with the object; next he tries to become more specific about the object itself. Later in the session he has something to say about this method.

Now. We shall shortly end our session.

(I can offer a connection, but cannot verify it with Seth until next session. After this session I remembered that the Wilburs are reading what we call Book One of the Seth material. This consists of the first 26 sessions. The first formal session was held December 2,1963. My introductory notes contain a reference to Jane and me borrowing a Ouija board from our landlord “in the fall of 1963,” which compares with the date given by Seth this evening, of September 10,1963. The notes refer to our attempts to use the board early in November 1963 also, without success.)

(In the 180th session, after the second envelope experiment, Seth told us he worked well clairvoyantly with objects, although at times telepathy could enter into such experiments.)

I will then close our session.

(End at 11:15. Jane was dissociated as usual, her eyes open often. She ended the session with a smile. Presumably Seth refers to the writings she has sent out recently. Her publisher, F. Fell, has written expressing interest in her book on the Seth material and on the poetry book described in the 232nd session, page 269. Jane has also received a letter concerning some of these poems from Playboy Magazine, regarding their consideration for publication as a book. All of this is tentative. In addition Jane mailed her article to Fate Magazine recently. See page 287 in Session 233. Seth said the article would sell.
