SESSION 454

(This a long session, given for Tam Mossman and Eve Naudain, of Prentice-Hall and New York City. It began at approximately the time noted above, and continued through most of the afternoon.

(Some of the material obtained is verbatim, some is not because of Seth’s rapid delivery. I made no attempts, seriously, to slow him down. The very beginning of the session is not recorded because I was working in the studio in the back of the apartment when Seth came through as Jane, Eve and Tam sat in the living room.

(The stage had been well-set for the afternoon session, however. Tam and Eve had arrived in Elmira the day before, and much of the ensuing conversation had been about matters psychic. Tam had witnessed a session before—the 434th on September 6, 1968—but Eve had not; she was a little nervous before the session began, and like many others was surprised by the session’s actual beginning and its manner of presentation.)

(One section of the session was missed by me entirely, since I had left the house thinking the session over. This will be noted. When she spoke for Seth, Jane’s pace was somewhat faster than usual; eyes open often and quite dark, voice about average. There were no strong voice effects. I indicate breaks in my notes by the usual symbol: ...)

Some of this concerns data I gave you in the last session you witnessed... It will give you confidence and control. Take careful note of sights and sounds.

...Exercises in recent sessions are good if not overdone. (A reference to projections.) You shouldn’t do these however until you have tried the water exercise at least 30 or 35 times.

(2:09. The break was a long one. We didn’t know whether the session was actually over or not. Once again I happened to be in the studio when Seth came through again, at 3:55.)

(4:05. We now thought this might be the end of the session. Jane’s trance had been good. Tam told us that he now does try direct healing on persons he passes on the street—one of the points mentioned by Seth. Tam hadn’t mentioned this to Jane before. Tam said a lot of what Seth commented on concerned ideas he, Tam, had been speculating on to himself.

(On this visit also Tam read the 418th session, of June 24, 1968. In this session were perhaps a page and a half of Seth’s clairvoyant data re Tam and Miss Carr. This was given before any of us had met, and when any kind of communication between Jane and Tam was just beginning. Tam was able to verify quite a lot of the data; some of it referring to Miss Carr was good. The last name of Cecile Grossman, an editor at Prentice-Hall, was mentioned by Seth, for instance. Tam noted the correct data in the 418th session, so this material has now been checked at least once.

(The delivery by Seth concerning plants did mark the end of the afternoon’s session.

(After session Eve verified her stated love of music & rhythm by Seth, etc.

POSTSCRIPT TO SESSION 454

([Tam’s Notes:]The following represents a spontaneous session that occurred after Seth had been kind enough to come through three times for Eve and myself. Robert Butts had gone out for a while, and Jane, Eve, and I were chatting. I could feel Seth’s vague presence in the room, which Eve apparently didn’t. Jane went into the kitchen to see about the chicken she was cooking and — as she later told us— felt Seth coming through and hurried to get back to her chair.

( This session was unusual; even though I have only seen Seth on a few occasions, I noticed that Jane kept her eyes open much more than usual. Seth’s voice was precise, but quick and conversational; also, we had the opportunity to exclaim in a brief conversation, which I of course found most gratifying.

We will be treating this same topic in our own sessions...imagine the ill plant as being able to use sunlight more effectively during the day and continuing to make use at night of that energy which has been absorbed. (Picturing the image of a healthy plant is) something that the plant will be able to use in its own fashion ... The plant will give you a kind of “thank you” in the form of energy... You ought to try to work with plants also in the early hours of the evening.

(We can’t remember anything else, but the session was short—only five to six minutes—and probably little if anything was added. Seth withdrew rather abruptly, and noticing the change in Jane, I added, “I’ll help Ruburt get back if there’s any need.” Jane didn’t, fortunately, and woke up with no trouble and a pleasant smile. )
