SESSION 394

(The first part of this session was held for John Pitre, who telephoned Jane about a week ago from Franklin, LA, on behalf of his ill wife, Peggy.

(10:11. This was very odd, another break so quickly. It was brought on because our cat Willy, decided to jump up in Jane’s lap as she spoke in trance. Usually he pays the sessions no attention. Jane now found this somewhat distracting, and gestured to me to remove the cat. However, I believe she also called for a break because she had finished with material for John Pitre this evening.

(During break Jane told me that she had felt a sideways thrust of energy going out of her; she thought this probably an attempt at projection to Louisiana while in trance. She had also been aware of the same feeling as she sat quietly just before the session, she now told me; both attempts had been abortive however.

(A copy of the above material has been sent to John Pitre. However it is not the full data received during the session; some was omitted, for obvious reasons as will be seen. Two groups were left out. The first goes after the word mother on page 184 as marked after the word mother, as follows:)

… may be deleted from the records for your typing convenience. You may then add it at the end of your own copies, but I suggest that you do not add it to the session that is sent, you see.

(This ends the deleted material. Now we resume the regular session after break ending at 10:21.)

Now. Except for vacations and a few rest periods, sessions should be regular for overall effectiveness. Circumstances will not always be excellent. However in the long run the routine itself will help develop Ruburt’s abilities further, and a larger number of excellent sessions will take place.

Spontaneous sessions may be held, but the overall routine should be continued. The channels have been opened, and as a rule, deeper and stronger contact will follow these same patterns. There is even for Ruburt a certain security and comfort in this accustomed routine, that will allow him to hold some truly spectacular sessions.

Now. He enjoys having sessions to some degree for his students, for he responds to their desire and need, but he distrusts himself more when you are not present, you see. (Long pause.) This should vanish in time. It is a new experience for him. In such cases, you see, he must trust himself entirely to me, and since he distrusts himself and me to some varying degree, then there is some conflict. This is not of a severe nature.

I mention it because this has at times been responsible for a break in our regular sessions. I am personally interested in returning to our own material, with personal data being given at your request and when I think it necessary.

(“Were we correct about his symptoms for the last couple of days?” Jane’s annoying head manifestations, said by her pendulum to be caused by the Pitre session.)

You were. He felt duty bound to hold the session, you see; guilty that he had not held it; and yet highly uneasy, for he realized it would contain information that could bring sorrow. Added to this was his fear of distorting it. Do you have other questions?

We will now close our session. My heartiest wishes to you both.

This 394th session was held on February 19, 1968. At the end of the private session of December 11, 1967, I described to Jane an internal vision I’d just had, and made notes about it and a quick drawing. In part: “Briefly but rather clearly I saw this hanging sculpture. I knew it was mine. The piece was of cast iron, with a soft mottled black-brown patina, densely conceived and I liked it very much. It was perhaps two and a half feet tall, hanging from a ceiling by a chain.
