SESSION 497

In the beginning it will be up to Ruburt to aid you, and with concentration and application he can do so. I do not want this suggestion to go by the board, as it will if you simply file the session and ignore it. I would like this work to begin, and to continue throughout your lives as a joint effort.

I make this as a strong recommendation, for if you are to obtain full benefits from your developments, then you simply must become proficient along these lines. You must implement the sessions and your knowledge with such personal experience. This should not be a haphazard affair, left to chance.

Two evenings a week specific suggestions should be used and attempts made. Now you may take your break and I will give you some pointers. I hope you will follow them. I will, incidentally, comment in sessions concerning your experiences.

He can explain these to you again so that you know what to expect. I will give you additional data on those environments that you visit, so that your experiences are paralleled by session discussions throughout the years. To fully develop yourselves psychically, such experiences are necessary. They will also serve as themes in your work and in Ruburt’s if they are carried through.

You may visit your Miss Callahan, for example, as Ruburt has done. You may visit others now dead in those terms, with whom you were once acquainted. Generally speaking, such visits will involve you however with one main environment, so you could do that indefinitely, and we will want you to have more experience than that. (In Book 1, see Session 28 re Miss Callahan.)

These sessions have their own logic, and their own continuity. They are leading in certain directions that may not be apparent to you as yet, and they do undergo cycles, which are necessary and natural.

During some cycles I am more strongly focused with you than others, but I am always close enough to see that the material is being properly delivered and that the necessary structures are being maintained. It goes without saying that your own mental attitudes are important. Without certain attitudes the sessions would have been impossible to begin with.

Your faith in your own work is highly important. Your own out-of-body experiences, if followed through, will even reinforce the sessions, for you will be experiencing circumstances of which I have already told you. You will think of questions, therefore, matters that I take for granted. Do you follow me here?

The structure of the sessions was set up because I felt that in the long run the structure itself would be permanent, able to withstand any natural strains, and also strong enough and flexible enough to permit maximum fulfillment. Many kinds of experience are possible within it, for example.

It is a psychological structure, as I have explained, and you and Ruburt are both a part of it. Now you may take your break or end the session as you prefer.

I will now end the session. I suggest the first week begin this evening, of preliminary exercise. A hearty good evening to you both, and my fondest wishes.

(10:38. Once again, Jane’s trance was a good one. Following Seth’s instructions, I recorded several dreams over the next couple of nights after this session; the first I have been able to recall in many weeks. RFB.)
