– Session 252 April 20, 1966 9 PM Wednesday as Scheduled

[... 1 paragraph ...]

(The scheduled session for Monday, April 18 was not held, and we enjoyed the change of pace. We hoped Seth would deal with any object Dr. Instream had focused on Monday night, as well as the object for last Wednesday April 13.

(The 48th envelope experiment was held during the session. See the copy of the object on page 104. We had saved the article because it dealt with our friend Bill Macdonnel, who has witnessed several sessions. When Bill visited us early this evening I thought of using the clipping as object.

(I found other copies of the article after the session. The actual copy used in the envelope is as usual on file in our object notebook. On the partial copy attached to page 104 I penned in the row of numbers representing the date after the session. The session was a comparatively short one and Seth did not go into each point in the data. Some of the data is self-explanatory when checked against the article.

(Jane was still not feeling tiptop, but thought she would rather have the session than miss it. It was held in our front room. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a quiet voice and with short pauses.)

[... 15 paragraphs ...]

(Jane’s increased abilities could already be revealing themselves. She has been doing very well on her book on dreams recently; this afternoon she remarked that it was going so well that she wondered where the material was coming from. Seth spoke on the integration of our personalities also in the 228th session; the material grew out of his material on the poetry book Jane produced so effortlessly. Our thought is that the dream book material is also appearing in the same way. According to Seth we are just beginning to use our creative abilities.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

The results of this new integration are only now beginning to show in Ruburt’s work. They will become more apparent, and the whole Seth book will benefit now also. Ruburt’s experience with his friend Marian, was in a strange way also a result of his increased abilities.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

(True. See the summary of the unscheduled 247th session, which was held at the home of our landlady, Marian Spaziani. In the session Seth dealt with the coming operation Marian faces for an ovarian tumor that is benign, and gave Marian ideas for suggestion. Jane visited with Marian one morning early last week, and for the next day or two remarked that she felt quite like Marian’s description of her own symptoms. We considered that Jane was reacting to suggestion here, but were rather surprised since Jane knows how to guard against negative suggestion as a rule.

[... 3 paragraphs ...]

A distance connection with a voluminous correspondence file, and a particular letter, written in January or February, though not necessarily this year for the letter. There was a misunderstanding connected with the letter.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

Ruburt’s illness at our unscheduled session was simply caused by a sudden inner panic, brought about because of his realization that the session was more complete than usual.

(Jane took a long pause while delivering the last sentence. See the summary of the unscheduled 251st session. Seth cut the session short, and after the five witnesses had left Jane was physically sick to her stomach three successive times. We both thought it a panic reaction. Later Jane told me she had very little memory of what Seth had said, even in the very strong voice; this is unusual for her.)

[... 16 paragraphs ...]

(Jane paused again. She still sat with the envelope held to her forehead, her eyes closed. I waited a few moments to see if the end of the session was near.)

[... 6 paragraphs ...]

(Break at 9:52. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed. Jane said Seth had surprised her by asking for the envelope. This was definitely Seth’s doing, she said, and he asked out of politeness.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

(This did mark the end of the session as far as Seth was concerned. Jane and I made the connections that were clear to us. We would have liked Seth’s help on a few, but did not ask him to resume. See the copy of the envelope object on page 104.

(“A connection with something ripped or torn out.” Originally I tore the article out of the paper. Note that signs of this are still visible on the left hand edge. The bottom of the clipping was also rough, and I clipped it evenly with scissors before filing it; this was before I thought of using it as object; Jane of course knew I saved the article because it pertained to Bill Macdonnel. As it happened my clipping the article along the bottom made it fit just right between the usual two pieces of Bristol, and into the double envelopes.

[... 9 paragraphs ...]

(“An impression again of an unscheduled event also, or an event not kept.” Jane is sure this refers to Peggy Gallagher, who wrote the news story used as envelope object. On Friday April 15 Jane and I and the Gallaghers heard about Bill’s difficulties. Peggy planned to call Bill Saturday but did not do so. We saw the Gallaghers on Sunday evening and learned that she still hadn’t seen Bill Macdonnel. Her story however was printed on Monday, April 18, which means she had to see Bill sometime Monday morning. This was possible because Bill Macdonnel, as a teacher, was still on Easter vacation. See also the “something not kept” reference and interpretation on page 109.

(“A series of numbers, and an indication of the passage of time.” When I tore the article from the newspaper I wrote the month, day and year on it, not realizing the date was printed on the reverse side.

[... 3 paragraphs ...]

(“A mishmash, as of tiny crisscrossing wires.” Seth gave this answer to my question in which I asked him to say more about the object itself. The object consists of small printed type which was folded several times; such an impression of tiny criss-crossings could occur to an entity with the ability to see through the layers of the object, so to speak, or to pick up the impressions resulting from layers. This gets complicated however as will be seen in the next impression. [A later note by Rob: Bill had a small scuplture of criss-crossing wires in a gallery window.]

[... 5 paragraphs ...]

(“I mentioned several colors. The color bronze here.” This was in response to my third and last question, for more data on color connected with the object. Jane subjectively feels the bronze reference above deals with the overall color of Bill’s painting, discussed in the envelope object. In the first column Peggy Gallagher calls the painting done “In washed out shades of gray and orange.” Jane associates the gray and orange with bronze. I neglected to ask Seth about “The number 5.”

(Neither of us had seen Bill’s painting at the time the newspaper article was published, or this session held, on Wednesday, April 20. We did see it this morning, April 23. I can say the overall tone of the painting is of an orange gray, [bronze?] with other very muted colors interwoven.)
