SESSION 451

(See the last two sessions.) There are various ways in which Ruburt’s abilities can be used, and various purposes they can serve, according to circumstances and conditions. As I told you, I was present, though in the background; Ruburt’s tutor—and it was I—who showed him how to return when he felt it desirable. (Very humorously, eyes open:) He needs a guide. Often when he supposes he is out by himself, or working alone, I am there to keep an eye on him.

Now, I will give you additional data as to the source of the material. (Seth promised to do this last session.) I prefer we wait a short time, since our friend is only too willing to return and speak his own piece, and Ruburt has had sufficient experience for a fortnight.

Though he does not understand what he does, he is learning control at other layers of consciousness, and he will be able to utilize his abilities far better in our sessions and in other experiments. In other words, various types of such experiences, within reason, are highly beneficial, for he learns from them.

In the episode with the Craigs, (see the 447th session) he was freely roaming the fields of their experience, and did quite well. I commend him. Such episodes add to his confidence, and give him an inner subjective touch. Later this will grow so that he will be able to tell when he is hot or cold.

Now this will not be a lengthy session. I will not forget to give you the necessary information on the mathematician. (Pause.) I found the affair amusing.

I did not intend this session to be lengthy, and therefore if you have no questions we will bring it to an end.

(10:26. Jane left trance easily. As Seth left, Jane said, she got from him that the particular trance he was discussing tonight could, or would, be used in sessions; it would let Seth come through “stronger,” though Jane then questioned the use of this word, and said “immediate” might be a better one.

(Seth could have gone on for hours, Jane said. When I asked her why the session ended if both seemed able to continue, Jane paused, then said: “I know why we ended it.” She continued, that it was because the same intense focus was partially used in the session tonight as in the last two sessions; Seth didn’t want her to overdo it, just to get used to it. Jane didn’t hear Seth tell her this within; she merely “got” the information.
