SESSION 507

(This session was held to obtains answers to two questions we had for Seth. Both pertained to Jane’s book on the Seth material, which she is just finishing. One question had to do with the oil showing two male heads which I painted in 1965. The other concerned the envelope test held in the 300th session. Jane is dealing with both of these points in Chapter Eight of her book.

(Jane said she didn’t feel much like having a session. It had been a hectic day for both of us. Since last night we had been discussing the illustrations for the book, and both of the above questions concerned illustrations.)

(The 76th, in the 300th session, on November 7, 1966.)

(This, then, was the question. The envelope object for the test in question was a piece torn from a hidden page of The New York Times. The piece was small in relation to the page, which I did not see. [Hiding it in the studio while my eyes were closed, etc.] Yet when Seth, through Jane, gave the test results, much accurate data was given concerning the full page that lay in the back room, as well as the actual small envelope object in Jane’s hand during the session. We wanted to know how such a thing was possible.)

This does not involve projection. (Which we had wondered about this afternoon.) There were other issues, having to do with Ruburt’s own mental characteristics. Now it is true that generally speaking, material of an emotional nature actually has a stronger vitality, and is easier to perceive. Beyond this however Ruburt has no(smile) love for detail, and will always use detail as a clue to see where it will lead him. He would not be content simply to give the details on the snatches of paper as you gave them. This is fairly automatic, this tendency, and the nature of his mental life. We use this, I hope to advantage, in our sessions in other ways, and I will have more to say concerning this.

You may end the session or take a break, as you prefer.

(At 10:17 Jane sat to see if the session would resume. It did not. While waiting she told me she felt “real light, as if I could float up some place.”
