Our session last evening was a rather serious one, for I believe it necessary that the terms of these endeavors be stated at once, and as clearly as possible. I do not want to burst any bubbles, nor did I want to encourage you along these lines unless you were willing to devote considerable energy in these directions. We can now to some degree relax and enjoy a quiet evening. I am aware of your considerable list of formidable questions. We shall get to these in good time.

(Pause.) Do not ask any questions here. These are merely loose impressions. A bad stumble. Difficulty with a third vertebra (pause), leading to unequal nerve pressures. The condition originating in one incident some time ago, and further aggravated by a second incident in more recent times. (Pause.)

There is nothing wrong in trying to perceive tomorrow. (Pause.) It is risky however to live today in such a manner. There are too many errors that can be made when dealing with precognitive elements. You are dealing with a world of probabilities. Now Ferd looked into a possible future, and this was quite legitimate—as a probable future. There is much concerning time that you do not yet understand, and I cannot explain it to you, unfortunately, in an evening. This may sound contradictory, but it is not. It is possible to perceive the future as it will be; on the other hand the future itself is always changing, for you change it in the present. (Pause.)

Some of these events would have been trivial, but all would have led him toward that predicted big win. There are two men in particular he would have met. These events did not occur, and another group of probabilities now exist.

There was a hope on Stephen’s part, and you responded to it. Not by any subconscious fakery, far from it. But you perceived the probable future that did exist as such; and I do not mean it only existed symbolically. Your desire to help him led to that perception. You would be the worse off, and your brother, if this were not so. You cannot use your ability in this fashion—purposely, you see.

It seems she wears something that resembles an earring about her neck (Jane gestured, as though describing something that hung about her neck and dangled to her waist), but I do not believe it is an earring.

Some strange connection with him and geese. I do not know here. Perhaps he had a pet goose. I would not want a pet goose. We are speaking of the woman’s husband, or father here. We shall try to clear it as we progress. I do not know if this is our young friend’s grandfather, or the grandfather’s father, you see.
