(“No.” At our first discussion, though, Peg told me that a brother-in-law had just come into a tremendous amount of money as a result of lawyers fees, he is a lawyer, and a rich account. She then tied this in with an unpleasant episode in the past where there was trouble with another sister-in-law, and this brother-in-law, and thought that the money would now make this sister-in-law sit up and wonder about her own actions in the past.)

(“No.” Again, this could refer to the account mentioned above, which was legal. These are my comments; Jane’s.)

(Refers to another sister-in-law of Peg’s, who was ill; no connection in particular though.)

(Jane began speaking in trance while sitting down; her eyes soon began to open; her pace was fairly good.)

You and I were quite right in advising Ruburt to face this through without the treatment of a doctor or chiropractor. I (Jane pointed to herself) you see, would not necessarily give this same advice to someone else. He was on several occasions about ready to visit your Piper. (The chiropractor.) I wanted him to face the symptoms for what they were, and to find the cause. Apparent causes came and went, and would continue to do so had he not—with, my friend, your help and mine—found the master cause.

Fear, and a complete, if sometimes momentary loss of confidence, was the basic cause that led to retreat and the physical symptoms. Fear itself is damaging as such, particularly when it is anticipatory. He knew enough so that this was partially counterbalanced. Otherwise he literally would have been in worse shape.

But this lesson, learned, is a valuable achievement. He understood it, it would seem, of a sudden, but this was only a crystallization of knowledge. The habit of fear would have finally been reflected here in our sessions. I have to a large degree kept my eye upon him, but you see the lesson had to be learned by him.

As for your performance today, you have my congratulations also. I was present, for that matter.

(Break at 9:29. Jane was fairly well dissociated. Her pace had become fast, her eyes open often. She has a complete record of her experience this morning in a notebook kept for such purposes.

(Seth, above, refers to my hypnotizing myself before going to the dentist this afternoon. The effort was very successful and I felt no discomfort. There is a full record of this experience in my prediction notebook.

(It is Monday, October 31, as I write this. On Thursday, October 27, the day after this session, Jane heard from the magazine in question, Topper. There has been a mix-up over a period of almost a year, concerning a story of Jane’s that was almost printed twice, and for which she has yet to be paid. Topper promised payment within a week.)

(Sunday evening, October 30, I was approached by a friend who expressed interest in buying a small painting, and I promised to show it to him. At the moment it is in another’s home on loan.)

A small remark to Ruburt. His dream about Miss Callahan was a legitimate projection, and they did both meet.

(End at 10:18. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. Her eyes had remained closed during the Bernard data. We hadn’t expected this. Her pace had been slower, with some long pauses. We were discussing the session when Jane resumed briefly at 10:20.)
