SESSION 468

(Notes: Last night, Sunday, March 16, a rather long session was held for Dr. Subadh Roy, who is a professor of philosophy and comparative religion at Mansfield State Teacher’s College [PA]. Dr. Roy, who is blind, was driven to Elmira by his friend and student, Mike. Dr. Roy is from India but has been teaching in the United States for some years.

(I made some notes during the session but they are incomplete because of Seth’s fast pace, the exchange of questions and data, etc. If a transcript is needed I will make one and insert it prior to this session. The session ended at midnight.

(Tonight’s session was late because of the discussion Jane and I had beforehand.)

You paint because you want to paint, and you set aside certain hours for your painting to insure that you will have sufficient time to do what you want to do; and this should be the reason for the regularity of our sessions.

(See the 460th session for January 27, 1969.)

These remained until another intuitive realization (tonight) would free him. Our sessions have also had their basis in spontaneity and creative energy, and the spontaneous nature always shows itself. You merely set the form through which the spontaneity flows.

There is no time when the sessions should be held merely from a sense of responsibility, and the sessions could not be held merely for that reason.

Now my humor and my sense of joy are obvious. I would hardly then impose responsibility as opposed to joy upon Ruburt. It took him some time to accept the fact of the sessions, and when he did so nothing would do but that he overdo, and accept them as a task rather than a joyful creative endeavor.

This resulted in uneven attitudes. I know him, and hence I have suggested the periods mentioned in our last session, with weeks set aside for sessions, and time off from them. He knew he was free to take time off at any time, but he was afraid that if he did so he might be deprived of the sessions entirely, and such is not the case.

You have both greatly changed as a result of the sessions. Intuitively and creatively new avenues will be opened to you. There is no either/or situation however. Ruburt need not think in terms of grim responsibility. (Pause.) And now he will not. This evening for several reasons his thoughts became clear on these subjects. And the point, buried somewhat in the past, came to light of consciousness, for within intuitively the necessary connections had already been made.

(“No, except that I’d like to know what we’re going to do now in the sessions.”)

Now under this heading I include other types of perception beyond those which you are acquainted with. The organization of such a topic therefore is mine. It may seem to you that the subject should be limited to physical perception, or so-called paranormal perception. With my wider viewpoint however I include perception in other realities. Often there is organization where you do not see it in our sessions. Nor have I forgotten the book of which I have spoken. Are your fingers tired?

Out of due regard for your fingers, take a break. Or you may end the session if you prefer.

We will end the session. I wanted to make clear the fact that illness can be a method of learning (long pause), and to tell you that Ruburt’s subjective feelings this evening were legitimate. New freedoms will follow. Intuitively you also provided clues that he needed this evening, but he was also ready to put them together.

Then we will end the session. (Smile.) Look at your own dream notes more carefully, and perhaps you will find who I have been in them.

(10:50. Seth, above, seems to say that the pyramid of lights Jane saw was a dream image, that she did not see when she awoke. Yet Jane woke me at the time and told me she had just seen an apparition, while awake. I did not catch this, above, when Seth spoke, or I would have asked about the discrepancy. Next session.)
