SESSION 395

(Peggy Gallagher witnessed the session. Jane began speaking in trance in a voice a bit stronger and more forceful then usual; her eyes opened a good deal of the time.)

(Smile.) We have managed to do fairly well without anything like his full acceptance. We shall indeed do much better now. This simply means that he has taken several giant steps, necessary ones. But these will make future giant steps easier. There has been a change in our sessions. His more relaxed inner attitude has given us more available energy. Which we hope to use in a variety of constructive ways.

Our own sessions should also show a depth that we have not reached before, and I believe that Ruburt will allow me greater freedoms. I am indeed with you rather strongly this evening. (Pause.) I am of course fully aware, already, that greater energy is available, and we shall use it well.

(See the 361st session for August 16, 1967. Above, Seth refers to the brief session Jane held in the coffee shop of the Paramount Hotel in New York City, for Raymond Van Over of the Parapsychology Foundation. In this little session she spoke with Seth “just below the surface” in a crowded room, without attracting attention, and delivered for Raymond Van Over some excellent data which he verified on the spot. This was her first experience with this type of session. Her control this time was obviously much better although this was only the second such effort.)

(Jane now took off her glasses. She paused. Her mood perceptibly changed. Her head dropped, chin to her chest, eyes closed. Her breathing became noticeably loud—something quite rare in the sessions. It seemed apparent that another change, or experiment, was to take place.

(The following manner of delivery was a new one in the sessions. Jane continued to speak with her head down; the result was that her voice seemed oddly muffled, much deeper, far from as clear as just above. There seemed to be an actual effort involved in her speaking—something quite foreign to the sessions. Her eyes remained closed. I watched her closely, ready to interrupt if the experimental delivery seemed to be taxing. And of course Peggy hadn’t seen this type of delivery before.)

Now, in this state I can assist you, and no one need know that I am here if you need information from me and a regular session would not be convenient.

I will continue for a moment in this state, to tell you about yet another method, the one that is used in Ruburt’s projections from a session. In this case I keep his physical system going while training him to describe what he has seen in his projections. This present state is challenging to Ruburt, for he can feel the interplay between us in a way not possible in the other states.

I will now end our session for your convenience, for I could continue yet for some time; and our best wishes to the Jesuit, who is about his holy way. (Bill Gallagher, Peggy’s husband, is on a business trip to New York City.) I am very pleased, and I am with you, again, vividly this evening. A mark of Ruburt’s greater leniency.
