His intellect is a fine one, and should have no quarrel at all with our sessions. It is only when he uses it falsely as a shield to hide behind that he is bothered, and an objective reading of the Seth material would show him that there is nothing in it of which he need be emotionally or intellectually ashamed. To the contrary, he does not have to see me as a white-gowned spirit. (Strong and emphatic.) I am not physical. But the picture of a white-robed spirit, with those connotations, is not one I have given him.

Now. He supposed he was being “good” in quotes, when he tried to follow the interpretation of others, and their idea of good. He felt inadequate, he felt two-faced only when he tried to squeeze the material into smaller molds that cannot hold it. This is perhaps one of the most important sentences in this evening’s session.

One of the main reasons for this was the old rigid childhood concepts, which were rearoused by his reading, not by our sessions. He began to think of himself in terms of a false priest, you see. This could water down the material considerably.

He does not have the material for what he plans, for one thing. For another he planned to use my ideas. He was getting the idea, you see, and those ideas can best be presented this way, now. (The letter again.) Other portions of the book he planned could have been written by anyone.

Give us a very brief moment. (Pause, one of many.)

Frederick Fell has the book he wanted—the first one, and he will play it to the hilt, for him. (Pause.) I am trying to give you some undistorted material here. He thinks, Fell thinks, he is interested in the Seth material. He is playing around with it. He is afraid to take the plunge. He is afraid to say no also.

(10:55. Once again Jane’s trance had been a good one. She came out of it all right, if slowly, however. Once again she seemed about to cry, but did not. She did not remember what she had said, but had a feeling of sadness. She said she thought tonight’s material would be very helpful.)
